An asymptotic expression for an absorption probability for the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is presented along with an application of the result to a problem in optional stopping. The relation of this result to the asymptotic behavior of a weighted Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic is also discussed. Sweet and Hardin (1970) derive an exact solution (not in closed form) for this same problem.

A detailed study of the asymptotic behavior of the first-passage-time p.d.f. and its moments is carried out for an unrestricted conditional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and for a constant boundary. Explicit expressions are determined which include those earlier discussed by Sato [15] and by Nobile et al. [9]. In particular, it is shown that the first-passage-time p.d.f. can be expressed as the sum of exponential functions with negative exponents and that the latter reduces to a single exponential density as time increases, irrespective of the chosen boundary. The explicit expressions obtained for the first-passage-time moments of any order appear to be particularly suitable for computation purposes.

One-dimensional random walks with a constant velocity between scattering are considered. The exact solution is expressed in terms of multiple convolutions of path-distributions assumed to be different for positive and negative directions of the walk axis. Several special cases are considered when the convolutions are expressed in explicit form. As a particular case, the solution of A. S. Monin for a symmetric random walk with exponential path distribution and its generalization to the asymmetric case are obtained. Solution of fractional telegraph equation with the fractional material derivative is presented. Asymptotic behavior of its solution for an asymmetric case is provided.
