Abstract:
Let $V=(V_t)_{t \ge 0}$ be the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck velocity process solving \[ dV_t = - \beta V_t dt + dB_t\] with $V_0=0$ , where $\beta >0$ and $B=(B_t)_{t \ge 0}$ is a standard Brownian motion. Then there exist universal constants $C_1>0$ and $C_2>0$ such that \[ \frac {C_1}{\sqrt { \beta }} E\sqrt { \log (1+ \beta \tau )} \le E\bigg (\max _{0 \le t \le \tau } \vert V_t \vert \bigg ) \le \frac {C_2}{\sqrt {\beta }} E\sqrt { \log (1+ \beta \tau )}\] for all stopping times $\tau$ of $V$ . In particular, this yields the existence of universal constants $D_1>0$ and $D_2>0$ such that \[ D_1 E\sqrt { \log \big (1+\log (1+ \tau )\big )} \le E\bigg (\max _{0 \le t \le \tau } \frac {\vert B_t \vert }{\sqrt {1+t }} \bigg ) \le D_2 E\sqrt { \log \big (1+\log (1+ \tau )\big )}\] for all stopping times $\tau$ of $B$. This inequality may be viewed as a stopped law of iterated logarithm. The method of proof relies upon a variant of Lenglart’s domination principle and makes use of Itô calculus.References
