چکیده
A new method for constructing first-passage-time probability density functions in the case of regular one-dimensional time homogeneous diffusion processes restricted between constant boundaries is proposed. Some diffusion processes of particular interest in neuronal modeling are considered and thoroughly discusses.

On Boundary Crossing Probabilities for Diffusion Processes
In this paper we establish a relationship between the asymptotic form of conditional boundary crossing probabilities and first passage time densities for diffusion processes. We show that, under the assumption that the conditional probability that our diffusion (Xs, s ≥ 0) doesn’t cross an upper boundary g(·) prior to time t given that Xt = z behaves as (a+ o(1))(g(t)− z) as z ↑ g(t), there exi...
متن کاملAlmost Sure Comi'arjsons for First Passage times of Diffusion Processes through Boundarjes
Conditions on the boundary and parameters that produce ordering in the first passage time distributions of two different diffusion processes are proved making use of comparison theorems for stochastic differential equations. Three applications of interest in stochastic modeling are presented: a sensitivity analysis for diffusion models characterized by means of first passage times, the comparis...
متن کاملSimulation of Gaussian Processes and First Passage Time Densities Evaluation
Motivated by a typical and well-known problem of neurobiological modeling, a parallel algorithm devised to simulate sample paths of stationary normal processes with rational spectral densities is implemented to evaluate first passage time probability densities for time-varying boundaries. After a self-contained outline of the original problem and of the involved computational framework, the res...
متن کاملInfimum Law and First-Passage-Time Fluctuation Theorem for Entropy Production
We derive an infimum law and a first-passage-time fluctuation theorem for entropy production of stochastic processes at steady state. We show that the ratio between the probability densities of the first-passage time to produce Stot of entropy and of the first-passage time to produce −Stot of entropy equals etot, with k Boltzmann’s constant. This first-passage-time fluctuation relation is valid...
متن کاملFirst Passage Densities and Boundary Crossing Probabilities for Diffusion Processes
We consider the boundary crossing problem for time-homogeneous diffusions and general curvilinear boundaries. Bounds are derived for the approximation error of the one-sided (upper) boundary crossing probability when replacing the original boundary by a different one. In doing so we establish the existence of the firstpassage time density and provide an upper bound for this function. In the cas...
