For the purpose of extending [4] into multidimensional domains, we show that there exists a continuous first-passage-time density function of standard $d$-dimensional Brownian motion in moving boundaries in $\\mathbb{R}^{d}$, $d\\geq 2$, under a $C^{3}$-diffeomorphism. Similarly as in [4], by using a property of local time of standard $d$-dimensional Brownian motion and the heat equation with Dirichlet boundary condition, we find a sufficient condition for the existence of the continuous density function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-11-13T02:07:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "first passage time density", "dirichlet boundary condition", "time dependent domains", "heat equation", "continuous first-passage-time density function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
