Abstract

We study an inverse first-passage-time problem for Wiener process X(t) subject to random jumps from a boundary c. Let be given a threshold S > X(0); and a distribution function F on [0, + ∞). The problem consists of finding the distribution of the jumps which occur when X(t) hits c, so that the first-passage time of X(t) through S has distribution F.
