The first-passage problem for the one-dimensional Wiener process with drift in the presence of elastic boundaries is considered. We use the Kolmogorov backward equation with corresponding boundary conditions to derive explicit closed-form expressions for the expected value and the variance of the first-passage time. Special cases with pure absorbing and/or reflecting barriers arise for a certain choice of a parameter constellation.

This paper treats a kind of a one-dimensional first-passage problem, which seeks the probability that a random walker first hits the origin at a specified time. In addition to a usual random walk which hops either rightwards or leftwards, the present paper introduces the “halt” that the walker does not hop with a nonzero probability. The solution to the problem is expressed using a Gauss hypergeometric function. The moment generating function of the hitting time is also calculated, and a calculation technique of the moments is developed. The author derives the long-time behavior of the hitting-time distribution, which exhibits power-law behavior if the walker hops to the right and left with equal probability.
