First passage times under frequent stochastic resetting

Abstract: We determine the full distribution and moments of the first passage time for a wide class of stochastic search processes in the limit of frequent stochastic resetting. Our results apply to any system whose short-time behavior of the search process without resetting can be estimated. In addition to the typical case of exponentially distributed resetting times, we prove our results for a wide array of resetting time distributions. We illustrate our results in several examples and show that the errors of our approximations vanish exponentially fast in typical scenarios of diffusive search.
