Abstract

This work is devoted to calculating the first passage probabilities of one-dimensional diffusion processes. For a one-dimensional diffusion process, we construct a sequence of Markov chains so that their absorption probabilities approximate the first passage probability of the given diffusion process. This method is especially useful when dealing with time-dependent boundaries.
