Brownian Motion in Dire Straits

David Holcman, Zeev Schuss

Published 2012-02-13Version 1

The passage of Brownian motion through a bottleneck in a bounded domain is a rare event and the mean time for such passage increases indefinitely as the bottleneck's radius shrinks to zero. Its calculation reveals the effect of geometry and smoothness on the flux through the bottleneck. We find new behavior of the narrow escape time through bottlenecks in planar and spatial domains and on a surface. Some applications are discussed.
