  4. First passage and exit problems Target size/shape/location/type Domain shape Starting point location S. Redner, A guide to first-passage processes (2001) R. Metzler, et al., First-passage phenomena and their applications (2014) D. Holcman, Z. Schuss, SIAM Rev. 56, 213-257 (2014) Type of diffusive motion

  5. First passage time (FPT) Survival probability MFPT: Mixed boundary value problem Global MFPT: on target on the rest

  6. Escape problems Lord Rayleigh (1877): exit from a sphere through a circular hole of radius a Singer et al. (2006): Exact solution for the disk: 2D manifolds: Asymptotic behavior: Rayleigh, The theory of sound (1877); Singer et al., J. Stat. Phys. (2006)

  7. Various extensions Multiple targets Partial adsorption on target/remaining part Gating problem Interaction with the surface Anomalous and intermittent diffusion Probability distribution Splitting probability First passage to targets inside the domain Optimality of the MFPT R.

  8. Summary: current paradigm Narrow escape limit: Global MFPT (2D) is proportional to and diverges as ln(1/) We will show that this paradigm is incomplete and can be misleading

  9. Part I Arbitrary planar domains DG, PRL 117, 260201 (2016)

  10. Two basic counter-examples Common picture: L  h (x,y)  (x,y) is independent of y and h and does not diverge as T is large while  is large T is small while  is small These are not “regular” domains:

  11. Conformal mapping D x0 is the harmonic measure of seen from x0 on on on the rest on the rest

  12. Integral formula for the MFPT eventual reflections MFPT from x0 to the whole boundary

  13. Asymptotic behavior of the MFPT O(1) We retrieve the leading logarithmic behavior, with the perimeter  replaced by the harmonic measure 

  14. Two basic counter-examples New picture:   L h (x,y)  (x,y) Makarov’s theorem: Makarov, Proc. London Math. Soc. 51, 369 (1985)

  15. Illustration for a nontrivial domain We fix x0 and  and move the region  2 3 5 15 4 MFPT 1 W p w x0 | |/ log(1/ ) 0 10 W p e | |/ log(1/ ) 7 10 6 T 8 9 5 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 s

  16. Conclusions Integral formula for the MFPT in planar domains Dependence on the starting point Shape of the domain through conformal mapping Accounting for space-dependent diffusivity Fundamental relation between the MFPT and the HM, which substitutes the normalized perimeter  Simple logarithmic term with the harmonic measure Scaling with the area is not universal

  17. Part II Long-range interactions with boundary and escape barrier G. Oshanin Laboratory of Condensed Matter Theoretical Physics, University Paris-6 DG, G. Oshanin, PCCP 19, 2723 (2017)

  18. Circular and spherical domains Mixed boundary value problem on target on the rest on target Two ingredients: entropic/energetic barrier long-range radial potential on the rest

  19. Self-consistent approximation Mixed Robin-Neumann boundary condition on target on the rest on target on the rest Inhomogeneous Neumann boundary condition Note: solution of the modified problem is not unique! But one can get the leading (divergent) term

  20. Main result MFPT to fully absorbing whole boundary Contribution due to partial escape region Contribution due to partial reflections

  21. Accuracy of the approximation SCA asympt 1 10 FEM MC 2 /R 0 e 10 D T -1 10 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 e (no long-range interaction case)

  22. Accuracy of the approximation 150 e SCA ( = 0.1) e FEM ( = 0.1) e SCA ( = 0.2) 100 e 2 FEM ( = 0.2) /R e p SCA ( = /4) e e p D T FEM ( = /4) 50 0 0 1 2 3 10 10 10 10 k R/D (no long-range interaction case)

  23. Narrow escape limit MFPT to fully absorbing whole boundary Contribution due to partial escape region Contribution due to partial reflections Conventional scaling In presence of entropic/energetic barrier, the escape process is “barrier-limited”, not diffusion-limited

  24. Role of long-range interactions Toy model: linear radial potential with a finite extent For this model, one can explicitly find the radial functions satisfying Attractive potential (U0<0) Repulsive potential (U0>0) MFPT is decreased MFPT is increased

  25. Optimal range of the potential 60 50 40 2 /R (3) 30 e DT 20 U = -1 0 U = -2 10 0 U = -5 0 0 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 r /R 0 The optimal range lies near the boundary

  26. Conclusions We proposed an accurate approximation to MFPT for rotation-invariant domains The escape process is “barrier-limited”, the asymptotics being , not The narrow escape behavior is only determined by the potential and its derivative at the boundary The range of attractive potentials can be optimized to minimize the MFPT
