The main purpose of the paper is an essentially probabilistic analysis of relativistic quantum mechanics. It is based on the assumption that whenever probability distributions arise, there exists a stochastic process that is either…

We prove quantitative convergence rates at which discrete Langevin-like processes converge to the invariant distribution of a related stochastic differential equation. We study the setup where the additive noise can be non-Gaussian and…

We study the existence and uniqueness, the regularity, and the long-time behavior of strong solutions to stochastic curve shortening flow driven by a transport-type pure jump L\'evy noise. To obtain the existence and uniqueness of strong…

A Levy walk is a non-Markovian stochastic process in which the elementary steps of the walker consist of motion with constant speed in randomly chosen directions and for a random period of time. The time of flight is chosen from a…

We consider the dynamics of a 1D system evolving according to a deterministic drift and randomly forced by two types of jumps processes, one representing an external, uncontrolled forcing and the other one a control that instantaneously…

We study a two-dimensional diffusive motion of a tracer particle in restricted, crowded anisotropic geometries. The underlying medium is the same as in our previous work [J. Chem. Phys. 140, 044706 (2014)] in which standard, gaussian…

L\'evy processes are widely used in financial mathematics to model return data. Price processes are then defined as a corresponding geometric L\'evy process, implying the fact that returns are independent. In this paper we propose an…

We study symmetric L\'evy flights in a semi-infinite domain $[0,\infty)$ with a reflecting and absorbing boundary at 0. To this end, we use the fractional differential equation that governs the L\'evy process. Incorporating the boundary…

We study a one-dimensional kinetic stochastic model driven by a L{\'e}vy process with a non-linear time-inhomogeneous drift. More precisely, the process $(V,X)$ is considered, where $X$ is the position of the particle and its velocity $V$…

After a short excursion from discovery of Brownian motion to the Richardson "law of four thirds" in turbulent diffusion, the article introduces the L\'{e}vy flight superdiffusion as a self-similar L\'{e}vy process. The condition of…

We formulate the problem of confined L\'evy flight on a comb. The comb represents a sawtooth-like potential field $V(x)$, with the asymmetric teeth favoring net transport in a preferred direction. The shape effect is modeled as a power-law…

We consider a stochastic process driven by a diffusion and jumps. We devise a technique, which is based on a discrete record of observations, for identifying the times when jumps larger than a suitably defined threshold occurred. The…

A continuous Markovian model for truncated Levy random walks is proposed. It generalizes the approach developed previously by Lubashevsky et al. Phys. Rev. E 79, 011110 (2009); 80, 031148 (2009), Eur. Phys. J. B 78, 207 (2010) allowing for…
