Abstract

By using the backward fractional Fokker–Planck equation we investigate the barrier crossing event in the presence of L´evy noise. After briefly reviewing recent results obtained with different approaches on the time characteristics of the barrier crossing, we derive a general differential equation useful to calculate the nonlinear relaxation time. We obtain analytically the nonlinear relaxation time for free L´evy flights and a closed expression in quadrature of the same characteristics for the cubic potential.
