Abstract
We study the mean-first-passage-time problem for systems driven by the coin-toss square-wave signal. Exact analytic solutions are obtained for the driftless case. We also obtain approximate solutions for the potential case. The mean-first-passage time exhibits discontinuities and a remarkable nonsmooth oscillatory behavior which, to our knowledge, has not been observed for other kinds of driving noise.Keywords
