A {\em propagation-dispersion equation} is derived for the first passage distribution function of a particle moving on a substrate with time delays. The equation is obtained as the continuous limit of the {\em first visit equation}, an…
The temporal Fokker-Plank equation [{\it J. Stat. Phys.}, {\bf 3/4}, 527 (2003)] or propagation-dispersion equation was derived to describe diffusive processes with temporal dispersion rather than spatial dispersion as in classical…

The first passage time for a single diffusing particle has been studied extensively, but the first passage time of a system of many diffusing particles, as is often the case in physical systems, has received little attention until recently.…

We derive the asymptotic first passage time (FPT) distribution for space-dependent variable-order time-fractional diffusion, where the fractional exponent $\alpha(x)$ varies with position. For any sufficiently smooth $\alpha(x)$ on a finite…

We show that the distribution of times for a diffusing particle to first hit an absorber is \emph{independent} of the direction of an external flow field, when we condition on the event that the particle reaches the target for flow away…
