This paper is based on the talk in "Probability Symposium" at Research Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Kyoto University) on 2013/12/18, and gives an announcement of some parts of the results in [1,8,10,11]. We show two instances of…
Many studies on microscopic systems deal with Brownian particles embedded in media whose densities are different from that of the particles, causing them either to sink or float. The proximity to a wall modifies the friction force the…
Biased diffusive transport of Brownian particles through irregularly shaped, narrow confining quasi-one-dimensional structures is investigated. The complexity of the higher dimensional diffusive dynamics is reduced by means of the so-called…
