Abstract

In this paper, bidimensional stochastic processes defined by ax(t) = y(t)dt and dy(t) = m(y)dt + [2v(y)]1/2dW(t), where W(t) is a standard Brownian motion, are considered. In the first section, results are obtained that allow us to characterize the moment-generating function of first-passage times for processes of this type. In Sections 2 and 5, functions are computed, first by fixing the values of the infinitesimal parameters m(y) and v(y) then by the boundary of the stopping region.
