Abstract
An infinite dam with compound Poisson inputs and a state-dependent release rate is considered. For this dam, we solve Kolmogorov’s backward differential equation to obtain the Laplace transforms of the first exit times in terms of a certain positive kernel. This allows us to provide an explicit expression for the Laplace transform of the wet period for a finite dam.
