We consider two depending Wiener processes which have membranes at zero with different permeability coefficients. Starting from different points, the processes almost surely do not meet at any fixed point except that where membranes are…

Let K be a compact subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$. We choose at random with uniform law a point at distance $\epsilon$ of K and start a Brownian motion (BM) from this point. We study the probability that this BM hits K for the first time at a…

Local perturbations of a Brownian motion are considered. As a limit we obtain a non-Markov process that behaves as a reflected Brownian motion on the positive half line until its local time at zero reaches some exponential level, then…

We consider the model of branching Brownian motion with a single catalytic point at the origin and binary branching. We establish some fine results for the asymptotic behaviour of the numbers of particles travelling at different speeds and…

We give a probabilistic representation of a one-dimensional diffusion equation where the solution is discontinuous at $0$ with a jump proportional to its flux. This kind of interface condition is usually seen as a semi-permeable barrier.…

We give short proofs of two classical results about the position of the extremal particle in a branching Brownian motion, one concerning the median position and another the almost sure behaviour.

A multidimensional Brownian motion with partial reflection on a hyperplane $S$ in the direction $qN+\alpha $, where $N$ is the conormal vector to the hyperplane and $q\in [-1,1], \alpha \in S$ are given parametres, is constructed and this…

Let $D_N$ be the set of points around which a planar Brownian motion winds at least $N$ times. We prove that the random measure on the plane with density $2 \pi N 1_{D_N}$ with respect to the Lebesgue measure converges almost surely weakly,…

An analysis is presented of a Brownian particle moving on the half-line, subject to a restoring force proportional to its displacement and an absorbing boundary at the origin. When the initial displacement is large, the central moments of…

We derive asymptotics for the probability of the origin to be an extremal point of a random walk in R^n. We show that in order for the probability to be roughly 1/2, the number of steps of the random walk should be between e^{c n / log n}$…

Consider non-intersecting Brownian motions on the real line, starting from the origin at t=0, with a number of particles forced to reach p distinct target points at time t=1. This work shows that the transition probability, that is the…

The Brownian motion of a test particle interacting with a quantum scalar field in the presence of a perfectly reflecting boundary is studied in (1 + 1)-dimensional flat spacetime. Particularly, the expressions for dispersions in velocity…

We elaborate on the theorem saying that as permeability coefficients of snapping-out Brownian motions tend to infinity in such a way that their ratio remains constant, these processes converge to a skew Brownian motion. In particular,…

We study the problem of when a Brownian motion in the unit ball has a positive probability of avoiding a countable collection of spherical obstacles. We give a necessary and sufficient integral condition for such a collection to be…

We study the motion of a solid particle immersed in a Newtonian fluid and confined between two parallel elastic membranes possessing shear and bending rigidity. The hydrodynamic mobility depends on the frequency of the particle motion due…

In this paper we present a computation of the mean first-passage times both for a random walk in a discrete bounded lattice, between a starting site and a target site, and for a Brownian motion in a bounded domain, where the target is a…

For the one-dimensional Brownian motion $B=(B_t)_{t\ge 0}$, started at $x>0$, and the first hitting time $\tau=\inf\{t\ge 0:B_t=0\}$, we find the probability density of $B_{u\tau}$ for a $u\in(0,1)$, i.e. of the Brownian motion on its way…

In this paper, we study branching Brownian motion with absorption, in which particles undergo Brownian motions and are killed upon hitting the absorption barrier. We prove that the empirical distribution function of the maximum of this…

We consider branching Brownian motion in which initially there is one particle at $x$, particles produce a random number of offspring with mean $m+1$ at the time of branching events, and each particle branches at rate $\beta = 1/2m$.…

We consider a single Brownian particle in a spatially symmetric, periodic system far from thermal equilibrium. This setup can be readily realized experimentally. Upon application of an external static force F, the average particle velocity…
