5 Introduction to Mean first passage time (MFPT) First passage time is the time it a particle to get to a specific point or exit a domain/region starting from a specific location. Mean first passage time is the average of the first passage time distribution Application: Immune cell activation, predator-prey interaction, e.t.c.

7 Derivation Mean first passage time (MFPT) Consider a random walk on a one-dimensional domain Ω = [0, L] with reflecting boundaries at x = 0 and x = L, and an absorbing stationary trap at x 0 Ω Let u(x) be the MFPT for a particle starting at position x Ω to get absorbed in the trap Sarafa Iyaniwura, Kelly Huang, Justin Tzou, and Colin Macdonald MFPT for moving (UBC) trap June 12, / 30

8 Derivation Mean first passage time (MFPT) We can write the MFPT of the particle starting at point x in terms of the MFPT starting at the neighboring points of x, that is, u(x) = 1 2 u(x x) + 1 u(x + x) + t 2 Sarafa Iyaniwura, Kelly Huang, Justin Tzou, and Colin Macdonald MFPT for moving (UBC) trap June 12, / 30

9 Derivation Mean first passage time (MFPT) Taylor expanding and simplifying 1 = ( x)2 2 t u (x). Taking the limit x 0 and t 0 such that D ( x)2 2 t, we have 1 = D u (x) with the following boundary condition u (0) = 0 and u (L) = 0 At x 0, u(x 0 ) = 0 Expect/average MFPT over the domain is u = 1 u(x) dx.
