Sticky diffusion processes on bounded domains spend finite time (and finite mean time) on the lower-dimensional space given by the boundary. Once the process hits the boundary, then it starts again after a random amount of time. While on…

We analyze the stationary distribution of regulated Markov modulated Brownian motions (MMBM) modified so that their evolution is slowed down when the process reaches level zero --- level zero is said to be {\em sticky}. To determine the…
