First Passage Under Restart
arXiv:1607.06048 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.030603
Abstract
First passage under restart has recently emerged as a conceptual framework suitable for the description of a wide range of phenomena, but the endless variety of ways in which restart mechanisms and first passage processes mix and match hindered the identification of unifying principles and general truths. Hope that these exist came from a recently discovered universality displayed by processes under optimal, constant rate, restart---but extensions and generalizations proved challenging as they marry arbitrarily complex processes and restart mechanisms. To address this challenge, we develop a generic approach to first passage under restart. Key features of diffusion under restart---the ultimate poster boy for this wide and diverse class of problems---are then shown to be completely universal.
