First-passage time in a bistable potential with colored noise

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
A precise digital simulation of a bistable system under the effect of colored noise is carried out. A set of data for the mean first-passage time is obtained. The results are interpreted and compared with presently available theories, which are revisited following a new insight. Discrepancies that have been discussed in the literature are understood within our framework.
