Some Results on Brownian Motion Perturbed by Alternating Jumps in Biological Modeling

摘要

We consider the model of random evolution on the real line consisting in a Brownian motion perturbed by alternating jumps. We give the probability density of the process and pinpoint a connection with the limit density of a telegraph process subject to alternating jumps. We study the first-crossing-time probability in two special cases, in the presence of a constant upper boundary.
