We study the exit-time from a domain of a self-interacting diffusion, where the Brownian motion is replaced by $\sigma B_t$ for a constant $\sigma$. The first part of this work consists in showing that the rate of convergence (of the…

We consider a particle diffusing outside a compact planar set and investigate its boundary local time $\ell_t$, i.e., the rescaled number of encounters between the particle and the boundary up to time $t$. In the case of a disk, this is…

Evaluating the completion time of a random algorithm or a running stochastic process is a valuable tip not only from a purely theoretical, but also pragmatic point of view. In the formal sense, this kind of a task is specified in terms of…

We study the barrier crossing of a particle driven by white symmetric Levy noise of index $\alpha$ and intensity $DD for three different generic types of potentials: (a) a bistable potential; (b) a metastable potential; and (c) a truncated…
