%0 Journal Article %T A note on a.s. finiteness of perpetual integral functionals of diffusions %A Paavo Salminen %A Marc Yor %J Mathematics %D 2005 %I arXiv %X In this note, with the help of the boundary classification of diffusions, we derive a criterion of the convergence of perpetual integral functionals of transient real-valued diffusions. In the particular case of transient Bessel processes, we note that this criterion agrees with the one obtained via Jeulin's convergence lemma. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0511336v1
