Use of one-parameter group transformations is made to obtain the transition p.d.f. of a Feller process confined between the origin and a hyperbolic-type boundary. Such a procedure, previously used by Bluman and Cole (cf., for instance, [4]), although useful for dealing with one-dimensional diffusion processes restricted between time-varying boundaries, does not appear to have been sufficiently exploited to obtain solutions to the diffusion equations associated to continuous Markov processes.

We review the level-crossing problem which includes the first-passage and escape problems as well as the theory of extreme values (the maximum, the minimum, the maximum absolute value and the range or span). We set the definitions and general results and apply them to one-dimensional diffusion processes with explicit results for the Brownian motion and the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process.

In this paper we study a Volterra integral equation of the second kind, including two arbitrary continuous functions, in order to determine first-passage-time probability density functions through time-dependent boundaries for time-non-homogeneous one-dimensional diffusion processes with natural boundaries. These results generalize those which were obtained for time-homogeneous diffusion processes by Giorno et al. [3], and for some particular classes of time-non-homogeneous diffusion processes by Gutiérrez et al. [4], [5].

First Crossing Time

The first-crossing-time problem through two time-dependent boundaries for one-dimensional diffusion processes is considered. The first-crossing p.d.f.'s from below and from above are proved to satisfy a new system of Volterra integral equations of the second kind involving two arbitrary continuous functions. By a suitable choice of such functions a system of continuous-kernel integral equations is obtained and an efficient algorithm for its solution is provided. Finally, conditions on the drift and infinitesimal variance of the diffusion process are given such that the system of integral equations reduces to a non-singular single integral equation for the first-crossing-time p.d.f.
