Hitting-zero classification for a Bessel process

ID: hitting-zero-classification-for-a-bessel-process

A Bessel process of dimension started away from zero hits zero almost surely exactly when . For , its scale function of a one-dimensional diffusion is ; for it is . The boundary hitting probability from a diffusion scale function then gives the classification by taking the inner boundary to zero and the outer boundary to infinity.
