Apr 22, 2022 at 2:04 comment added Nate River Thanks a lot! They look very informative. Now time to read..
Apr 21, 2022 at 21:15 comment added Iosif Pinelis I have now added such heuristics.
Apr 21, 2022 at 17:20 comment added Iosif Pinelis I will try to add such heuristics later, on why one conjecture holds and the other fails. I think this can also be discerned by analyzing the sources and contributions of the various terms in the expressions for $\text{num}$ and $\text{den}$ in my answer, even though I have not done such work.
Apr 21, 2022 at 16:05 comment added Nate River It would be quite enlightening to know intuitively why the current conjecture fails, while the simpler one in the linked post holds true.

Apr 21, 2022 at 15:58 comment added Nate River As for motivation, this arose in trying to derive asymptotic bounds on the price of short maturity Asian options, modelled as geometric Brownian motion.
Apr 21, 2022 at 15:58 comment added Nate River Thank you for your detailed answer. I arrived at the conjecture by guessing that conditional on $\max_{0 \leq t \leq 1} W_t \geq M$, then formally $\frac{1}{M} dW_t$ behaves as $dt$ as $M \to \infty$. (The condition on the corresponding max for $X$ translates directly to a condition of this form on $W$.) Thus the SDE $dX_t = \sigma X_t dW_t$ formally becomes $dX_t = M \sigma X_t dt$, which admits solution $X = e^{M \sigma t}$. The normalisation $C(\varepsilon)$ is then simply $M \sigma$.

Apr 20, 2022 at 20:36 comment added Iosif Pinelis Can you disclose how you arrived at this conjecture, in particular, to $e^t$? Are you sure your expression for $C(\varepsilon)$ is correct?
