A simplified derivation is given of the underlying integral equations and the theory for ordinary renewal processes is extended to modified and equilibrium renewal processes. The exact results are compared with the MFPT for Markov dichotomous noise and with the results of Monte Carlo simulations.13 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 1993Física estadísticaTermodinàmicaStatistical physicsThermodynamicsMean first-passage times for systems driven by gamma and McFadden dichotomous noiseinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article69009info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
