First-passage, transition path, and looping times in conical varying-width channels: Comparison of analytical and numerical results

This paper deals with transitions of diffusing point particles between the two ends of expanding and narrowing two-dimensional conical channels. The particle trajectory starts from the reflecting boundary and ends as soon as the absorbing boundary is reached for the first time. Any such trajectories...
