Exact analytic solutions are obtained for the driftless case. We also obtain approximate solutions for the potential case. The mean-first-passage time exhibits discontinuities and a remarkable nonsmooth oscillatory behavior which, to our knowledge, has not been observed for other kinds of driving noise.13 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 1993Física estadísticaTermodinàmicaStatistical physicsThermodynamicsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article69812info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
