Similarity solution of a Fokker-Planck equation with a moving, absorbing boundary

A one parameter Lie group of transformations is used to derive a closed form similarity solution of the equation: [See Thesis for Equation]. A simple expression for the first passage time distribution of the general Fokker-Planck (Kolraogorov forward) equation in an irregular domain is derived, w...
