摘要
For the simplest fluctuating barrier rate problem - diffusion in a symmetric double well over a barrier fluctuating randomly between 'high' and 'low' - we prove the existence of equilibrium and relaxation eigenvectors of the corresponding matrix of Smoluchowski diffusion operators, thereby establishing the validity of rate calculations for this problem by the eigenvector-eigenvalue method.
