For standard one-dimensional Brownian motion and a fixed $h>0$, the Brownian reflection principle gives the survival probability $2\Phi (h/\sqrt{t})-1$. The standard normal distribution function has derivative $1/\sqrt{2\pi }$ at zero, giving the displayed asymptotic. Thus the persistence exponent is one half, with leading constant $h\sqrt{2/\pi }$.

For $X\sim N(m,v)$ with $v>0$ and $0<\epsilon <1$, $P(X\ge C)\le \epsilon$ is equivalent to the displayed chance constraint, because the standard normal distribution function is continuous and strictly increasing. The coefficient is a standard normal quantile, which can be negative. If $v=0$, equality is an atom and the exact condition becomes $C>m$ instead.

For $Z$ with a standard normal distribution and $a\ge 0$, split the Gaussian integral at zero and complete the square to obtain $\mathbb{E}{e}^{a|Z|}=2e^{a^2/2}\Phi (a)\le 2e^{a^2/2}$, where $\Phi$ is the standard normal distribution function. This converts a bound on an absolute Gaussian random variable into a two-sided Gaussian tail bound using Markov inequality.

The Gaussian error linear unit activation is $\mathrm{GELU}(x)=x\Phi (x)$, where $\Phi$ is the standard normal distribution function.

If a cumulative distribution function is constant between consecutive lattice points spaced by $h$ near zero, then its Kolmogorov distance from the standard normal distribution function is at least half the increase of that function across one such interval. This gives a lower bound of order $h$.

For $v,m\ge 0$, define $F(v,m)=\mathbb{E}[(e^{-v/2+\sqrt{v}Y}-m{)}^{+}]$, where $Y$ has the standard normal distribution. For $v,m>0$, completing the square in the standard normal density giveswhere $\Phi$ is the standard normal distribution function. The boundary values are $F(0,m)=(1-m{)}^{+}$ and $F(v,0)=1$. Multiplying by the current stock price produces a zero-interest Black-Scholes formula with total variance $v$ and relative strike $m$.
