Abstract

We show that (i) Brownian motion conditioned to be positive is Brownian meander; (ii) tied-down Brownian meander is Brownian excursion; and (iii) Brownian bridge conditioned to be positive is Brownian excursion. Using these results we derive the distribution of the suprema of the meander and excursion.
