The normalized exponential moment of an exit time #

A uniform bound E_x[τ(U)] ≤ T for the expected exit time, valid from every starting point, normalizes a positive exponential moment of the exit time to 2: at the multiplier K = 38 the survival probability at the horizon K T is at most K⁻¹, and the rate λ is admissible as soon as exp (38 λ T) ≤ 19/10, that is λ ≤ log(19/10)/(38 T).

The uniform bound is only available at the starting points of U, whereas the normalization asks for it at every starting point. The two agree: a process started outside U leaves it at once, so the expected exit time vanishes there.

1. The normalized exponential moment #

A bound on the open set bounds the expected exit time everywhere. A process started outside the open set leaves it at once.

The normalized exponential moment of the exit time. If the expected exit time from the open set U is at most T from every point of U, then every rate λ ≥ 0 with 38 λ T ≤ log(19/10) has exponential moment at most 2, from every starting point.
