Abstract

Stochastic mathematical models are essential tools for understanding and predicting complex phenomena. The purpose of this work is to study the exit times of a stochastic dynamical system-specifically, the mean exit time and the distribution of exit times of the stochastic process within a bounded domain. These quantities are obtained by solving elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs), respectively. To support practical applications, we propose a numerical scheme implemented in FreeFEM, emphasizing its effectiveness in two- and three-dimensional cases due to the software's limitations in higher dimensions. The examples provided illustrate the theoretical results, which extend known one-dimensional solutions to higher-dimensional settings. This contribution bridges theoretical and computational approaches for analyzing stochastic processes in multidimensional domains, offering insights into their behavior and potential applications.
