• Reflected Brownian motion is used in areas such as physiology, electrochemistry and nuclear magnetic resonance. We study the first-passage-time problem of this process which is relevant in applications; specifically, we find a Volterra integral equation for the distribution of the first time that a reflected Brownian motion reaches a nondecreasing barrier. Additionally, we note how a numerical procedure can be used to solve the integral equation.
