A Joint Laplace Transform for Pre-exit Diffusion of Occupation Times

For a < r < b, the approach of Li and Zhou(2014) is adopted to find joint Laplace transforms of occupation times over intervals(a, r) and(r, b) for a time homogeneous diffusion process before it first exits from either a or b. The results are expressed in terms of solutions to the differential equations associated with the diffusions generator. Applying these results, we obtain more explicit expressions on the joint Laplace transforms of occupation times for Brownian motion with drift, Brownian motion with alternating drift and skew Brownian motion, respectively.
