The paper considers a modified storage process with state space [0,∞). Away from the origin, W behaves like an ordinary storage process with constant release rate and finite jump intensity A. In state 0, however, the jump intensity falls to It is shown that W can be obtained by applying first a reflection mapping and then a random change of time scale to a compound Poisson process with drift. When these same two transformations are applied to Brownian motion, one obtains sticky (or slowly reflected) Brownian motion W∗ on [0,∞). Thus W∗ is the natural diffusion approximation for W, and it is shown that W converges in distribution to W∗ under appropriate conditions. The boundary behavior of W∗ is discussed, its infinitesimal generator is calculated and its stationary distribution (which has an atom at the origin) is computed.

The ‘rendezvous time’ of two stochastic processes is the first time at which they cross or hit each other. We consider such times for a Brownian motion with drift, starting at some positive level, and a compound Poisson process or a process with one random jump at some random time. We also ask whether a rendezvous takes place before the Brownian motion hits zero and, if so, at what time. These questions are answered in terms of Laplace transforms for the underlying distributions. The analogous problem for reflected Brownian motion is also studied.

In this paper, we prove a moderate deviation principle for the multivalued stochastic differential equations whose proof are based on recently well-developed weak convergence approach. As an application, we obtain the moderate deviation principle for reflected Brownian motion.

This article provides an overview of the decision to improve the field storage of sugar beet. The purpose of development is to preserve the crop. Methods of monitoring volumes of piles and microclimate inside them are considered. The method for obtaining data on volumes of piles and the further use thereof for optimizing the storage process is described.

We connect the exercisability randomized American option to the penalty method by showing that the randomized American option valueuis the uniqueclassicalsolution to the Cauchy problem corresponding to thecanonicalpenalty problem for American options. We also establish a uniform bound forAu, whereAis the infinitesimal generator of a geometric Brownian motion.

A direct derivation is given of a formula for the normalized asymptotic variance parameters of the boundary local times of reflected Brownian motion (with drift) on a compact interval. This formula was previously obtained by Berger and Whitt using an M/M/1/C queue approximation to the reflected Brownian motion. The bivariate Laplace transform of the hitting time of a level and the boundary local time up to that hitting time, for a one-dimensional reflected Brownian motion with drift, is obtained as part of the derivation.
