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 passage time distribution) is elucidated together with a discussion of the proper setup of corresponding boundary conditions that correctly yield the statistics of first passages for these non-Gaussian noises. The validity of the method is tested numerically and compared against analytical formulae when the stability index $alpha$ approaches 2, recovering in this limit the standard results for the Fokker-Planck dynamics driven by Gaussian white noise.

Diffusive transport in many complex systems features a crossover between anomalous diffusion at short times and normal diffusion at long times. This behavior can be mathematically modeled by cutting off (tempering) beyond a mesoscopic correlation tim
e the power-law correlations between the increments of fractional Brownian motion. Here, we investigate such tempered fractional Brownian motion confined to a finite interval by reflecting walls. Specifically, we explore how the tempering of the long-time correlations affects the strong accumulation and depletion of particles near reflecting boundaries recently discovered for untempered fractional Brownian motion. We find that exponential tempering introduces a characteristic size for the accumulation and depletion zones but does not affect the functional form of the probability density close to the wall. In contrast, power-law tempering leads to more complex behavior that differs between the superdiffusive and subdiffusive cases.
We provide an analytic solution to the first-passage time (FPT) problem of a piecewise-smooth stochastic model, namely Brownian motion with dry friction, using two different but closely related approaches which are based on eigenfunction decompositio
ns on the one hand and on the backward Kolmogorov equation on the other. For the simple case containing only dry friction, a phase transition phenomenon in the spectrum is found which relates to the position of the exit point, and which affects the tail of the FPT distribution. For the model containing as well a driving force and viscous friction the impact of the corresponding stick-slip transition and of the transition to ballistic exit is evaluated quantitatively. The proposed model is one of the very few cases where FPT properties are accessible by analytical means.
We investigate the first-passage dynamics of symmetric and asymmetric Levy flights in a semi-infinite and bounded intervals. By solving the space-fractional diffusion equation, we analyse the fractional-order moments of the first-passage time probabi
lity density function for different values of the index of stability and the skewness parameter. A comparison with results using the Langevin approach to Levy flights is presented. For the semi-infinite domain, in certain special cases analytic results are derived explicitly, and in bounded intervals a general analytical expression for the mean first-passage time of Levy flights with arbitrary skewness is presented. These results are complemented with extensive numerical analyses.
Complex systems display anomalous diffusion, whose signature is a space/time scaling $xsim t^delta$ with $delta e 1/2$ in the Probability Density Function (PDF). Anomalous diffusion can emerge jointly with both Gaussian, e.g., fractional Brownian mo
tion, and power-law decaying distributions, e.g., Levy Flights (LFs) or Levy Walks (LWs). LFs get anomalous scaling, but also infinite position variance and also infinite energy and discontinuous velocity. LWs are based on random trapping events, resemble a Levy-type power-law distribution that is truncated in the large displacement range and have finite moments, finite energy and discontinuous velocity. However, both LFs and LWs cannot describe friction-diffusion processes. We propose and discuss a model describing a Heterogeneous Ensemble of Brownian Particles (HEBP) based on a linear Langevin equation. We show that, for proper distributions of relaxation time and velocity diffusivity, the HEBP displays features similar to LWs, in particular power-law decaying PDF, long-range correlations and anomalous diffusion, at the same time keeping finite position moments and finite energy. The main differences between the HEBP model and two LWs are investigated, finding that, even if the PDFs are similar, they differ in three main aspects: (i) LWs are biscaling, while HEBP is monoscaling; (ii) a transition from anomalous ($delta e 1/2$) to normal ($delta = 1/2$) diffusion in the long-time regime; (iii) the power-law index of the position PDF and the space/time diffusion scaling are independent in the HEBP, while they both depend on the scaling of the inter-event time PDF in LWs. The HEBP model is derived from a friction-diffusion process, it has finite energy and it satisfies the fluctuation-dissipation theorem.
Levy Flights are paradigmatic generalised random walk processes, in which the independent stationary increments---the jump lengths---are drawn from an $alpha$-stable jump length distribution with long-tailed, power-law asymptote. As a result, the var
iance of Levy Flights diverges and the trajectory is characterised by occasional extremely long jumps. Such long jumps significantly decrease the probability to revisit previous points of visitation, rendering Levy Flights efficient search processes in one and two dimensions. To further quantify their precise property as random search strategies we here study the first-passage time properties of Levy Flights in one-dimensional semi-infinite and bounded domains for symmetric and asymmetric jump length distributions. To obtain the full probability density function of first-passage times for these cases we employ two complementary methods. One approach is based on the space-fractional diffusion equation for the probability density function, from which the survival probability is obtained for different values of the stable index $alpha$ and the skewness (asymmetry) parameter $beta$. The other approach is based on the stochastic Langevin equation with $alpha$-stable driving noise. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages for explicit calculations and numerical evaluation, and the complementary approach involving both methods will be profitable for concrete applications. We also make use of the Skorokhod theorem for processes with independent increments and demonstrate that the numerical results are in good agreement with the analytical expressions for the probability density function of the first-passage times.
