Abstract

Using an approach based on the Cameron-Martin-Girsanov theorem, we obtain a Taylor expansion for the probability that Brownian motion hits a smooth nonlinear boundary which grows at a suitable rate. The structure and probabilistic meaning of the terms in the expansion are studied in some detail.
