Summary Let {x(t): t∈R d} a stochastic process with parameter in R d, and u a fixed real number. Denote by C u, Au, Bu respectively the random sets {t: x(t)= u}, {t: x(t)〈u}, {t: x(t)〉u}. The paper contains two main results for processes with continuously differentiable paths plus some additional requirements: First, a formula for the expectation of Q T(Au) and Q T(Bu), where for a given bounded open set T in R d, QT(B) denotes the “perimeter of B relative to T” and second, sufficient conditions on the process, so that it does not have local extrema on the barrier u. The second result can also be used to interpret the first in terms of C u.
