Very general estimates for the asymptotics of log P (˝D > t) are given by using Gaussian techniques. In particular, for f(x) = exp fj x j p g , p > 0, lim t !1 t234768 bytesapplication/pdfen-USBrownian MotionBessel processasymptotic tail distributionexit probabilitiesSlepian's inequalityAMS: 60G40, 60J65Technical Report
