We study an anti-symmetric (square) well and barrier potential of depth/height $(V_0)$ placed between two rigid walls. Unlike the usual double-well, here the closely lying sub-barrier doublets need not be the lowest ones in the spectrum.…
We consider a model of a Brownian motor composed of two coupled overdamped degrees of freedom moving in periodic potentials and driven by two heat reservoirs. This model exhibits a spontaneous breaking of symmetry and gives rise to directed…

We consider a two-phase Darcy flow in a fractured and deformable porous medium for which the fractures are described as a network of planar surfaces leading to so-called hybrid-dimensional models. The fractures are assumed open and filled…

In this paper we present an elementary derivation of the semi-classical spectrum of neutral particles in a field theory with kink excitations. In the non-integrable cases, we show that each vacuum state cannot generically support more than…
This paper is concerned with two related types of directed polymers in a random medium. The first one is a d-dimensional Brownian motion living in a random environment which is Brownian in time and homogeneous in space. The second is a…
Attention: this version-$2$ of the manuscript differs from its previously uploaded version-$1$ (arXiv:1112.6158v1) and subsequently published in 2012 J. Phys. B \textbf{45} 105102 only by a removed typo in Eq.(2) of version-$1$; there was…
Time analysis of oscillations of a particle between wells in the one-dimensional double-well potential with infinite high outside walls, based on wave packet use and energy spectrum analysis, is presented. For the double-well potential of…
