Sharp bounds for transition probability densities of a class of diffusions
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 335 (2002) no. 11, pp. 953-957.

Let pb(x,t,y) be the transition probability density of the one dimensional diffusion process dX t =dW t +b(X t )dt, where |b(·)|⩽1. We show that the upper and lower bounds of pb(x,t,y) are achieved for fixed (x,t,y) when b(z)=sgn(yz) and b(z)=sgn(zy) respectively. Moreover, the precise bounds are given.

Soit pb(x,t,y) la densité de la probabilité de transition du processus de diffusion dX t =dW t +b(X t )dt, où |b(·)|⩽1. Nous montrons que la borne supérieure (resp. la borne inférieure) de pb(x,t,y) est atteinte pour (x,t,y) fixés quand b(z)=sgn(yz) (resp. quand b(z)=sgn(zy)). Les bornes explicites sont présentées.
