This process appears in many applied fields, such as physics, mechanics, etc. as well as in mathematics itself. In this paper we are concerned with a more general process, skew Brownian motion with dry friction. We study the probability distribution of this process and its occupation time on the positive half line. The Pugachev-Sveshnikov equation approach is used.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-05-31T08:28:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "skew brownian motion", "pugachev-sveshnikov equation approach", "dry friction", "common stochastic processes", "caughey-dienes process" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
