The first passage time density of Brownian motion and the heat equation
with Dirichlet boundary condition in time dependent domains
J. M. Lee Seoul, Republic of Korea
Abstract:
In [J. Lee, ALEA Lat. Am. J. Probab. Math. Stat., 15 (2018),
pp. 837–849]
it is proved that we can have a continuous first-passage-time density function
of one-dimensional standard Brownian motion when the boundary is Hölder
continuous with exponent greater than $1/2$. For the purpose of extending the
results of [J. Lee, ALEA Lat. Am. J. Probab. Math. Stat., 15 (2018),
pp. 837–849]
to multidimensional domains, we show that there exists a continuous
first-passage-time density function of standard $d$-dimensional Brownian motion
in moving boundaries in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, $d\geq 2$, under
a $C^{3}$-diffeomorphism. Similarly as in [J. Lee, ALEA Lat. Am. J.
Probab. Math. Stat., 15 (2018), pp. 837–849], by using a property of local
time of standard $d$-dimensional Brownian motion and the heat equation with
Dirichlet boundary condition, we find a sufficient condition for the existence
of the continuous density function.
