Representations of the First Hitting Time Density of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process
نویسنده
چکیده
Three expressions are provided for the first hitting time density of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process to reach a fixed level. The first hinges on an eigenvalue expansion involving zeros of the parabolic cylinder functions. The second is an integral representation involving some special functions whereas the third is given in terms of a functional of a 3-dimensional Bessel bridge. The expressions are used for approximating the density.

APPLICATIONS OF THE REFLECTED ORNSTEIN-UHLENBECK PROCESS by
An Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is the most basic mean-reversion model and has been used in various fields such as finance and biology. In some instances, reflecting boundary conditions are needed to restrict the state space of this process. We study an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck diffusion process with a reflecting boundary and its application to finance and neuroscience. In the financial application, th...
متن کاملComputing the first passage time density of a time-dependent Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process to a moving boundary
In this paper we use the method of images to derive the closed-form formula for the first passage time density of a timedependent Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process to a parametric class of moving boundaries. The results are then applied to develop a simple, efficient and systematic approximation scheme to compute tight upper and lower bounds of the first passage time density through a fixed boundary. ...
متن کاملA Lower Bound for the First Passage Time Density of the Suprathreshold Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process
We prove that the first passage time density ρ(t) for an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process X(t) obeying dX = −βX dt+σ dW to reach a fixed threshold θ from a suprathreshold initial condition x0 > θ > 0 has a lower bound of the form ρ(t) > k exp [ −pe ] for positive constants k and p for times t exceeding some positive value u. We obtain explicit expressions for k, p and u in terms of β, σ, x0 and θ, an...
متن کاملStochastic resonance in a model neuron with reset
The response of a noisy integrate-and-fire neuron with reset to periodic input is investigated. We numerically obtain the first-passage-time density of the pertaining Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process and show how the power spectral density of the resulting spike train can be determined via Fourier transform. The neuron’s output clearly exhibits stochastic resonance.
متن کاملFIRST-PASSAGE TIME OF MARKOV PROCESSES TO MOVING BARRIERS HENRY C. TUCKWELL,* Monash University
The first-passage time of a Markov process to a moving barrier is considered as a first-exit time for a vector whose components include the process and the barrier. Thus when the barrier is itself a solution of a differential equation, the theory of first-exit times for multidimensional processes may be used to obtain differential equations for the moments and density of the first-passage time ...
