Since diffusion processes arise in so many different fields, efficient tech-nics for the simulation of sample paths, like discretization schemes, represent crucial tools in applied probability. Such methods permit to obtain approximations of the first-passage times as a by-product. For efficiency reasons, it is particularly challenging to simulate directly this hitting time by avoiding to construct the whole paths. In the Brownian case, the distribution of the first-passage time is explicitly known and can be easily used for simulation purposes. The authors introduce a new rejection sampling algorithm which permits to perform an exact simulation of the first-passage time for general one-dimensional diffusion processes. The efficiency of the method, which is essentially based on Girsanovs transformation , is described through theoretical results and numerical examples.
Continuous-time stochastic processes play an important role in the description of random phenomena, it is therefore of prime interest to study particular variables depending on their paths, like stopping time for example. One approach consists in poi
Fractal phenomena may be widely observed in a great number of complex systems. In this paper, we revisit the well-known Vicsek fractal, and study some of its structural properties for purpose of understanding how the underlying topology influences it
The first-passage-time problem for a Brownian motion with alternating infinitesimal moments through a constant boundary is considered under the assumption that the time intervals between consecutive changes of these moments are described by an altern
We study the time constant $mu(e_{1})$ in first passage percolation on $mathbb Z^{d}$ as a function of the dimension. We prove that if the passage times have finite mean, $$lim_{d to infty} frac{mu(e_{1}) d}{log d} = frac{1}{2a},$$ where $a in [0,inf
The simulation of exit times for diffusion processes is a challenging task since it concerns many applications in different fields like mathematical finance, neuroscience, reliability... The usual procedure is to use discretiza-tion schemes which unf
