The inverse first-passage problem for a Wiener process $(W_t)_{t \ge 0}$ seeks to determine a function $b:\mathbb{R}_+ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $$\tau = \inf \>\{ \,t>0 \mid W_t \ge b(t) \,\}$$ has a given law. In this paper two methods for approximating the unknown function $b$ are presented. The errors of the two methods are studied. A set of examples illustrates the methods.

Abstract
The inverse first-passage problem for a Wiener process $(W_t)_{t \ge 0}$ seeks to determine a function $b:\mathbb{R}_+ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $$\tau = \inf \>\{ \,t>0 \mid W_t \ge b(t) \,\}$$ has a given law. In this paper two methods for approximating the unknown function $b$ are presented. The errors of the two methods are studied. A set of examples illustrates the methods. Possible application are enlighted.
