Optimization of the Mean First Passage Time in Near-Disk and Elliptical Domains in 2-D with Small Absorbing Traps
Sarafa A. Iyaniwura, Tony Wong, Colin B. Macdonald +1
The determination of the mean first passage time (MFPT) for a Brownian particle in a bounded 2-D domain containing small absorbing traps is a fundamental problem with biophysical a…

Simulation and Optimization of Mean First Passage Time Problems in 2-D using Numerical Embedded Methods and Perturbation Theory
Sarafa Iyaniwura, Tony Wong, Michael J. Ward +1
We develop novel numerical methods and perturbation approaches to determine the mean first passage time (MFPT) for a Brownian particle to be captured by either small stationary or…
