Apply the Skorokhod reflection map on the half-line to Brownian motion with negative constant drift and positive variance parameter . The result is kept nonnegative by a regulator acting only at zero. It has a stationary distribution, unlike zero-drift reflection on the whole half-line.
The stationary law is the law of . Let . The Exponential martingale for Brownian motion , stopped on first hitting , is bounded by . On no hitting, the driving path tends to minus infinity. Dominated convergence and optional stopping therefore give . The reflected process started at zero converges to this supremum law: its value at time has the law of the driving path's maximum up to , by reversing the increments. The resulting density is for .
