We derive an approximate but fully explicit formula for the mean first-passage time (MFPT) to a small absorbing target of arbitrary shape in a general elongated domain in the plane. Our approximation combines conformal mapping, boundary homogenisation, and Fick-Jacobs equation to express the MFPT in terms of diffusivity and geometric parameters. A systematic comparison with a numerical solution of the original problem validates its accuracy when the starting point is not too close to the target. This is a practical tool for a rapid estimation of the MFPT for various applications in chemical physics and biology.
The determination of the mean first passage time (MFPT) for a Brownian particle in a bounded 2-D domain containing small absorbing traps is a fundamental problem with biophysical applications. The average MFPT is the expected capture time assuming a
We consider the first-passage problem for $N$ identical independent particles that are initially released uniformly in a finite domain $Omega$ and then diffuse toward a reactive area $Gamma$, which can be part of the outer boundary of $Omega$ or a re
We perform an in-depth study for mean first-passage time (MFPT)---a primary quantity for random walks with numerous applications---of maximal-entropy random walks (MERW) performed in complex networks. For MERW in a general network, we derive an expli
The explicit determinations of the mean first-passage time (MFPT) for trapping problem are limited to some simple structure, e.g., regular lattices and regular geometrical fractals, and determining MFPT for random walks on other media, especially com
We present the analysis of the first passage time problem on a finite interval for the generalized Wiener process that is driven by Levy stable noises. The complexity of the first passage time statistics (mean first passage time, cumulative first pas
