Correction to: Journal of Nonlinear Science (2019) 29:461–499 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00332-018-9493-7 In section 5.1 entitled “The shortest NEP from a bounded domain in R2,3 ”” for dimension 3, we found an error in Eq. 97 of page 20. This leads to the conclusion that also in ¯ (1) three dimensions, √ the mean time for the fastest τ depends on the reciprocal of log N and not on 1/ log N , as written prviously. Here are the corrected computations: τ

We then follow the computation of section 3.1 “Escape from a Ray”. When the diffusion coefficient is D, we obtain the formula τ¯ 3dim ≈

When there are p windows, whose distances from the initial position of the Brownian particles are dk = dist(P0 , Pk ), formula (100) changes to τ¯ 3 ≈

where δ 2 = min(d12 , ...d 2p ). The asymptotic formula (100) is compared with results of Brownian simulations and shows very good agreement (Fig. 3). Fig.3b of the main manuscript has to be replaced by Fig. 3, which fits the dependency of τ¯ (3dim) with respect to the total number of particles N .
