Abstract

We find the sharp constant in the small L 2-deviation asymptotics for a wide class of Gaussian processes including the m-times integrated Wiener process and the m-times integrated Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process. Extremal properties of usual and Euler integration are proved. Bibliography: 19 titles.
