Small-depth bounds for the excursion approximation #
Kendall's identity and the bounded stable density give a linear survival bound uniform in the time and barrier. It bounds a small infimum depth, and the same bound applies to the killed stable kernel, uniformly in its starting level, on survival to the observation time.
Uniform small-depth estimate for the running infimum.
The small-depth bound persists under killing, uniformly in the starting height.
