Linear programming and the inverse method of images

The inverse method of images is a relatively easy way to find approximate solutions to first-passage time problems. We extend the method in several ways: We use a linear program instead of a system of linear equations; we utilize asymptotic information in addition to values at finite points; and we use a larger palette of approximating functions. These techniques enhance the scope, flexibility and accuracy of the method. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
