Almost Sure Comi'arjsons for First Passage times of Diffusion Processes through Boundarjes
نویسنده
چکیده
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 comparison of different diffusion models where first passage times represent an important feature and the determination of upper and lower bounds for first passage time distributions.

Stochastic Ordering for First Passage Times of Diffusion Processes Through Boundaries
Use of comparison theorems for solutions of stochastic differential equations is made to prove sufficient conditions for almost sure or stochastic ordering of first passage times of one-dimensional diffusion processes through an assigned boundary. Conditions on boundary and parameters that make orded the first passage time distributions of two different diffusion processes are determined. Some ...
متن کاملAlmost sure exponential stability of stochastic reaction diffusion systems with Markovian jump
The stochastic reaction diffusion systems may suffer sudden shocks, in order to explain this phenomena, we use Markovian jumps to model stochastic reaction diffusion systems. In this paper, we are interested in almost sure exponential stability of stochastic reaction diffusion systems with Markovian jumps. Under some reasonable conditions, we show that the trivial solution of stocha...
متن کاملFirst Passage times of a Jump Diffusion Process
This paper studies the first passage times to flat boundaries for a double exponential jump diffusion process, which consists of a continuous part driven by a Brownian motion and a jump part with jump sizes having a double exponential distribution. Explicit solutions of the Laplace transforms, of both the distribution of the first passage times and the joint distribution of the process and its ...
متن کاملFirst passage times and asymmetry of DNA translocation.
Motivated by experiments in which single-stranded DNA with a short hairpin loop at one end undergoes unforced diffusion through a narrow pore, we study the first passage times for a particle, executing one-dimensional Brownian motion in an asymmetric sawtooth potential, to exit one of the boundaries. We consider the first passage times for the case of classical diffusion, characterized by a mea...
متن کاملEfficient Estimation of First Passage Time Density Function for Jump-Diffusion Processes
The first passage time problem has attracted considerable research interest in the field of stochastic processes. It concerns the estimation of the probability density of the time for a random process to cross a specified boundary level. Even though there are many theoretical advances in solving this problem, for many classes of random processes no analytical solution exists. The jumpdiffusion ...
