It is shown that the function [α + (1 + 2 s ) 1/2 ] −1 , s ≥ 0, with fixed α ≥ −1, is the Laplace transform of an explicitly given non‐negative function g(x ;α), × ≥ 0. This class of functions has easily computable convolutions. This property is used to identify the distribution of a sojourn time integral for the diffusion defined as Brownian motion on the real line with constant drift to the origin. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
