“…We remark that telegraph processes have been extensively studied in the literature, where they are referred to alternatively as persistent Brownian motion processes [12,46], velocity-jump processes [37], correlated random walks [55,12,51], run-and-tumble particles (RTP) [3,4,29,49], and more generally, non-Markovian random walks [16,30]. Recently, the telegraph process has seen increased interest due to its biological application to the motion of bacteria [29,49,47,48,33] Many existing studies on the telegraph process consider a one-dimensional domain with absorbing boundaries [42,25], but mean first passage time calculations often involve computing the exit time out of the entire interval [55,16,30,31,56,4,29,12,46,51,49]. In contrast, we wish to compute the mean first exit time through a particular end of the interval given an initial positive velocity and initial position z 0 ∈ [0, L].…”
