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 processes that coincide with a given diffusion process outside a finite collection of domains. In each of the domains, there is, additionally, a large drift directed towards the interior of the domain. We describe the limiting…
