arXiv:0808.3066 · doi:10.1088/1751-8113/42/8/085003
Abstract
In this paper, we consider a homogeneous Markov process ξ(t;ω) on an ultrametric space Q_p, with distribution density f(x,t), x in Q_p, t in R_+, satisfying the ultrametric diffusion equation df(x,t)/dt =-Df(x,t). We construct and examine a random variable τ(ω) that has the meaning the first passage times. Also, we obtain a formula for the mean number of returns on the interval (0,t] and give its asymptotic estimates for large t.
