Abstract: Let { X ( t ) , t ≥ 0 } be a one-dimensional jump-diffusion process whose continuous part is either a Wiener, Ornstein–Uhlenbeck, or generalized Bessel process. The process starts at X ( 0 ) = x ∈ [ − d , d ] . Let τ ( x ) be the first time that X ( t ) = 0 or | X ( t ) | = d . The jumps follow a uniform distribution on the interval ( − 2 x , 0 ) when x is positive and on the interval ( 0 , − 2 x ) when x is negative. We are interested in the moment-generating function of τ ( x ) , its mean, and the probability that X [ τ ( x ) ] = 0 . We must solve integro-differential equations, subject to the appropriate boundary conditions. Analytical and numerical results are presented.
