Abstract
The first-passage time of a one-dimensional continuous stochastic process
starting from
through a smooth boundary S(t) is investigated; in particular, diffusions and some kinds of Gaussian processes, such as Gauss-Markov and their fractional integrals, are considered. The tail behavior of
and related asymptotics for
are obtained, and some examples are reported.
