J. Masoliver et Jm. Porra, EXACT SOLUTION TO THE EXIT-TIME PROBLEM FOR AN UNDAMPED FREE PARTICLEDRIVEN BY GAUSSIAN WHITE-NOISE, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 53(3), 1996, pp. 2243-2256
In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 75, 189 (1995)] we have presented
the exact analytical expression for the mean exit time, T(x, v), of a
free inertial process driven by Gaussian white noise out of a region (
0, L) in space. In this paper we give a detailed ai:count of the metho
d employed and present results on asymptotic properties and averages o
f T(x, v).
