摘要
Considering general, discrete stochastic systems, we derive an exact formula expressing the mean exit time from the attraction basin of a metastable state in terms of absorption probabilities. This formula can be applied to reaction-diffusion multidimensional systems, or more generally to the evaluation of the lifetimes of metastable states.
