Abstract:
A derivation is given, using the reflection principle, of the distribution of the value and location of the maximum on an interval of Brownian motion with known end-point values. The density of the location is infinite at the end point of greater value and decreases monotonically to zero at the other. A procedure is briefly discussed for using the distribution in a pointwise sequential search for the location of the maximum.
