Thermally activated escape processes in multi-dimensional potentials are of interest to a variety of fields, so being able to calculate the rate of escape-or the mean first-passage time (MFPT)-is important. Unlike in one dimension, there is no general, exact formula for the MFPT. However, Langer...
