Abstract

We consider a one-dimensional time-homogeneous regular diffusion between two constant elastic barriers as well as the special cases with pure absorbing and/or reflecting barriers. We derive the recurrence relations for moments of the first passage time. As examples, we consider several popular diffusions. Finally, some applications to risk theory are considered.
