Masoliver, Jaume, 1951-Porrà i Rovira, Josep Maria2010-07-052010-07-0519950031-9007https://hdl.handle.net/2445/13302We obtain the exact analytical expression, up to a quadrature, for the mean exit time, T(x,v), of a free inertial process driven by Gaussian white noise from a region (0,L) in space. We obtain a completely explicit expression for T(x,0) and discuss the dependence of T(x,v) as a function of the size L of the region. We develop a new method that may be used to solve other exit time problems.4 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 1995Física estadísticaFísica matemàticaStatistical physicsMathematical physicsExact solution to the mean exit time problem for free inertial processes driven by Gaussian white noiseinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article89655info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
