✦ Synopsis


Explicit formulae are found for the probability that the Brownian motion, B t ; up-crosses, in [0; T ]; a piecewise-linear function S(t); with the condition that the value of B t is assigned at a future time u ¿ T or at an intermediate time u ¡ T . Also, the analogous conditional probability concerning |B t | is obtained. These results permit to obtain an explicit expression for the ÿrst-passage-time distribution function of the generalized Brownian bridge, over S(t).
