Evaluating the completion time of a random algorithm or a running stochastic process is a valuable tip not only from a purely theoretical, but also pragmatic point of view. In the formal sense, this kind of a task is specified in terms of…

Diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in generative modeling. Despite more stable training, the loss of diffusion models is not indicative of absolute data-fitting quality, since its optimal value is typically not zero but…

We present a method of deriving two boundary conditions at a thin membrane for diffusion from experimental data. This method can be really useful in complex membrane systems in which we do not know mechanisms of processes occurring within…

We consider a particle diffusing inside a wedge with absorbing boundaries and driven by a radial flow of incompressible fluid generated by a source at the apex. The survival probability decays as (time)^{-b} with exponent depending on the…

Diffusion model-based approaches have shown promise in data-driven planning, but there are no safety guarantees, thus making it hard to be applied for safety-critical applications. To address these challenges, we propose a new method,…

The properties of a particle diffusing on a one-dimensional lattice where at each site a random barrier and a random trap act simultaneously on the particle are investigated by numerical and analytical techniques. The combined effect of…

We investigate which jump-diffusion models are convexity preserving. The study of convexity preserving models is motivated by monotonicity results for such models in the volatility and in the jump parameters. We give a necessary condition…

We discuss the physical consequences of a duality between two models with quenched disorder, in which particles propagate in one dimension among random traps or across random barriers. We derive an exact relation between their diffusion…

In this paper, we study the competition of two diffusion processes for achieving the maximum possible diffusion in an area. This competition, however, does not occur in the same circumstance; one of these processes is a normal diffusion…
