Abstract

We analyze the transition probability density functions in the presence of a zero-flux condition in the zero-state and their asymptotic behaviors for the Wiener, Ornstein Uhlenbeck and Feller diffusion processes. Particular attention is paid to the time-inhomogeneous proportional cases and to the time-homogeneous cases. A detailed study of the moments of first-passage time and of their asymptotic behaviors is carried out for the time-homogeneous cases. Some relationships between the transition probability density functions for the restricted Wiener, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck and Feller processes are proved. Specific applications of the results to queueing systems are provided.

Keywords: asymptotic behaviors; first-passage time moments; reflected diffusion processes; steady-state densities; transition probability density functions.
