An elementary approach to the inverse first-passage-time problem for soft-killed Brownian motion

A Klump, M Kolb - Journal of Applied Probability, 2024 - cambridge.org
We prove existence and uniqueness for the inverse-first-passage time problem for soft-killed
Brownian motion using rather elementary methods relying on basic results from probability …

[HTML][HTML] The inverse first-passage time problem as hydrodynamic limit of a particle system

A Klump - Methodology and Computing in Applied Probability, 2023 - Springer
We study a particle system without branching but with selection at timepoints depending on
a given probability distribution on the positive real line. The hydrodynamic limit of the particle …

A Practical Approach to Estimating Expected Hitting Time with Applications to Climatology and Epidemiology

H Zou, M Cane, D Alemayehu, V de la Peña… - 2022 - researchsquare.com
Hitting time, or first passage time, is the first time that a process reaches (from above or
below) a pre-specified area. Estimating expected hitting time is an important practical …
