We know that $P(min_0 leq sleq t B_t leq x)=2P(B_tleq x)$. This can be found in any standard stochastic calculus textbook.



However I am curious about instead of the interval $[0,t]$ if we consider an arbitrary interval $[a,b]$. What will the distribution be then?



By law of total probability we have $P(min_a leq sleq b B_t leq x)=P(min_a leq sleq b B_t leq x|B(a)geq x)$ then using Bayes' theorem we have that this is $P(min_a leq sleq b B_t leq x,B(a)geq x)/P(B(a)geq x)$. Then here I am stuck.



Is there another way?
