The motion of overdamped particles in a one-dimensional spatially-periodic potential is considered. The potential is also randomly-fluctuating in time, due to multiplicative colored noise terms, and has a deterministic tilt. Numerical…
For both Levy flight and Levy walk search processes we analyse the full distribution of first-passage and first-hitting (or first-arrival) times. These are, respectively, the times when the particle moves across a point at some given…
We consider diffusive motion of a particle performing a random walk with L\'evy distributed jump lengths and subject to resetting mechanism bringing the walker to an initial position at uniformly distributed times. In the limit of infinite…
L\'{e}vy walks are a particular type of continuous-time random walks which results in a super-diffusive spreading of an initially localized packet. The original one-dimensional model has a simple schematization that is based on starting a…

Multiple scattering is a process in which a particle is repeatedly deflected by other particles. In an overwhelming majority of cases, the ensuing random walk can successfully be described through Gaussian, or normal, statistics. However,…
