A short review on boundary behavior of linear diffusion processes

We present in a complete and synthetic way the modern classification of boundaries of one dimensional diffusion process. This classification is proved using the scale function as well as the speed measure associated to a one dimensional diffusion. In order to highlight the behavior of a diffusion process, we follow a numerical approach with graphical illustrations. To this end, different schemes are used to approximate the paths of a diffusion process such as Euler Maruyama and Milstein, which will be used to approximate Wright-Fisher diffusion process near to Exit, regular, entrance, or natural boundaries. Finally, we offer well-organized tables on the nature of any boundary (closed or open) of a given sub-interval of the state space, with appropriate conditions. We believe that these contributions are very useful to better understand the physical and natural meaning of boundary classification.
