Comment on "Mean First Passage Time for Anomalous Diffusion"

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We correct a previously erroneous calculation [Phys. Rev. E 62, 6065 (2000)] of the mean first passage time of a subdiffusive process to reach either end of a finite interval in one dimension. The mean first passage time is in fact infinite.
