Stochastic motion of particles in a highly unstable potential generates a number of diverging trajectories leading to undefined statistical moments of the particle position. This makes experiments challenging and breaks down a standard…

In many practically important problems which rely on particles' transport in realistic corrugated channels, one is interested to know the probability that either of the extremities, (e.g., the one containing a chemically active site, or…
