Abstract
Relaxation time for diffusion between reflecting boundaries is defined and the theory for its evaluation using the backward-equation approach is presented. A few simple examples are given and comparison with other results in the literature is made. We expect that relaxation time for nonreactive processes might assume the role of mean first passage times in reactive processes.
