โฆ Synopsis
The moments of the first-passage time of a narrow-band stochastic process produced by a linear oscillator excited by wide-band noise are presented for the case of a "safe" region defined by a circular barrier in the phase plane. As long as damping is small the moments produced will be approximately the same as those for the two-sided barrier problem. An iterative set of partial differential equations governing the moments, the first being the Pontriagin-Vitt equation for the mean first-passage time, are solved by using a Galerkin approximation. No restrictions are required on the barrier size.

We investigate some important probabilistic properties relating to the first passage time of a hyperexponential jump diffusion process, including its finiteness, expectation, conditional memorylessness, and conditional independence. Moreover, the joint distribution of the first passage time and the
