Abstract:
Let $D$ be a smoothly bounded domain in Euclidean space and let $X_{t}$ be a diffusion in Euclidean space. For a class of diffusions, we develop variational principles which characterize the average of the moments of the exit time from $D$ of a particle driven by $X_{t},$ where the average is taken over all starting points in $D.$References
