Drifted Brownian interval-exit probability

ID: drifted-brownian-interval-exit-probability

For Brownian motion with drift in , the displayed probability of exiting at follows by stopping the harmonic function . A unit-time increment larger than has a uniform positive probability and forces exit, so the exit time has a geometric tail bound from a uniform escape probability and all polynomial moments. At zero drift the limiting probability is .
