We study the two-dimensional overdamped motion of an active particle whose orientational dynamics is subject to fractional Brownian noise, whereas its position is affected by self-propulsion and Brownian fluctuations. From a Langevin-like…
We study the two-dimensional motion of an active Brownian particle of speed $v_0$, with intermittent directional reversals in the presence of a harmonic trap of strength $\mu$. The presence of the trap ensures that the position of the…
Brownian motion of free particles on curved surfaces is studied by means of the Langevin equation written in Riemann normal coordinates. In the diffusive regime we find the same physical behavior as the one described by the diffusion…
