First passage time distribution for a random walker on a random forcing energy landscape

Statistical Mechanics 2010-09-23 v2 Disordered Systems and Neural Networks

Abstract

We present an analytical approximation scheme for the first passage time distribution on a finite interval of a random walker on a random forcing energy landscape. The approximation scheme captures the behavior of the distribution over all timescales in the problem. The results are carefully checked against numerical simulations.
