Limit distributions for the Bernoulli meander

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the limit behavior of the distributions and the moments of the Bernoulli meander in the case where the number of steps in the random walk tends to infinity.

On a generalization of the arc-sine law

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the distribution function of the sojourn time of Brownian motion with drift can be expressed simply as a single integral, which is a generalization of the arc-sine law of Paul Levy.

On the Local Time of the Brownian Bridge

Lajos Takács
TL;DR: The notion of local time at level α was introduced by P. Levy as discussed by the authors, where τ(α) is a nonnegative random variable that is called the local time, and α is the normal distribution function.

On the Classical Ruin Problems

TL;DR: In this article, simple and elementary proofs are given for the various formulas for Pn (a,b) and it is shown how these formulas can be applied in the theories of order statistics, random walks, storage, queues, and dams.
