Hitting times #
Given a stochastic process, the hitting time provides the first time the process "hits" some subset of the state space. The hitting time is a stopping time in the case that the time index is discrete and the process is strongly adapted (this is true in a far more general setting however we have only proved it for the discrete case so far).

Hitting time: given a stochastic process u and a set s, hittingBtwn u s n m is
the first time u is in s after time n and before time m (if u does not hit s
after time n and before m then the hitting time is simply m).
The hitting time is a stopping time if the process is strongly adapted and discrete.
