A note on first-passage time and some related problems. (English)

Let X be a linear diffusion having the infinitesimal variance $\sigma\sp 2(x)$ and drift $\mu$ (x). Given the transition density (w.r.t the Lebesgue measure) $p(t,x,x\sb 0)$ $(x\sb 0$ is the starting state) the quantity - so called probability current - $$ j(t,x,x\sb 0)=\mu (x)p(t,x,x\sb 0)-\partial /\partial x(\sigma\sp 2(x)p(t,x,x\sb 0)) $$ may be introduced. In the paper under review the first passage times of X are studied in terms of j.
