Abstract

The asymptotic behavior of first passage time pdf through a constant boundary is studied when the boundary approaches the endpoints of the diffusion interval. We show that for a class of diffusion processes possessing a steady-state distribution this pdf is approximatively exponential, the mean being the average first-passage time to the boundary. The proof is based on suitable recursive expressions for the moments of the first-passage time.
