Mean First Passage Times of Higher-Dimensional Velocity Jump Processes
Author(s): Maria R. D’Orsogna, Alan E. Lindsay, and Thomas Hillen
First passage phenomena arise across physics, biology, and finance when stochastic processes first reach a threshold, triggering downstream events. Examples include the irreversible exit from a domain, a biochemical reaction, and a financial selloff. While typical formulations involve diffusive moti… [Phys. Rev.
