Abstract:
This article concerns the study of Green's functions for one dimensional
diffusions with constant diffusion coefficient and linear time inhomogeneous drift.
It is well know that the whole line Green's function is given by a Gaussian.
Formulas for the Dirichlet Green's function on the half line are only known
in special cases. The main object of study in the paper is the ratio
of the Dirichlet to whole line Green's functions. Bounds, asymptotic
behavior in the limit as the diffusion coefficient vanishes, and
a log concavity result are obtained for this ratio. These results have
been used in the proof of asymptotic behavior for a simple model of
Ostwald ripening.
