Thermal decay rate over an edge-shaped barrier at high dissipation is studied numerically through the computer modeling. Two sorts of the stochastic Langevin type equations are applied: (i) the Langevin equations for the coordinate and conjugate momentum (LEqp, the phase space diffusion) and (ii) the reduced Langevin equation (RLE, the spatial diffusion, overdamped motion). The latter method is much faster and self-similar; however, one can doubt about its applicability in the case of an edge-shaped barrier with a discontinuous force. The reason is that a formal condition of the applicability of the RLE is not fulfilled since the curvature of the potential profile at the barrier is equal to infinity. The present numerical study demonstrates that, for large friction, the decay rate calculated using the RLE agrees with the rate resulting from the more exact LEqp. Moreover, it turns out that the influence of the position of the absorbing border is similar to the case of harmonic potential known in the literature.

For the first time, the accuracy of the approximate analytical Kramers formula for the thermal decay rate over a cusp barrier, , is checked numerically for the overdamping regime. The numerical quasistationary rate, , which is believed to be exact within the statistical errors is evaluated by means of computer modeling of the stochastic Langevin-type dynamical equations. The agreement between and significantly depends upon the friction strength and the height of the barrier in comparison to the thermal energy. The difference between and decreases with the dimensionless damping parameter , however, does not become smaller than 10-20%. The unexpected growth of the difference between and with the governing parameter is observed.
