The first main goal of this article is to give a new metrization of the Mukherjee--Varadhan topology, recently introduced as a translation-invariant compactification of the space of probability measures on Euclidean spaces. This new…

We investigate both analytically and by numerical simulation the relaxation of an overdamped Brownian particle in a 1D multiwell potential. We show that the mean relaxation time from an injection point inside the well down to its bottom is…

We describe a new technique to estimate the mean square velocity of a Brownian particle from time series of the position of the particle sampled at frequencies several orders of magnitude smaller than the momentum relaxation frequency. We…

In this article, we present molecular dynamics study of the velocity autocorrelation function (VACF) of a Brownian particle. We compare the results of the simulation with the exact analytic predictions for a compressible fluid from [6] and…

We use geometric microlocal methods to compute an asymptotic expansion of mean first arrival time for Brownian particles on Riemannian manifolds. This approach provides a robust way to treat this problem, which has thus far been limited to…

We show that directed ratchet transport of a driven overdamped Brownian particle subjected to a spatially periodic and symmetric potential can be reliably controlled by tailoring a biharmonic temporal force, in coherence with the…

The Euler scheme is a standard time discretization for BSDEs, but its implementation hinges on approximating conditional expectations and the associated martingale terms at each time step. We propose an implementation based on the Wiener…

Covariance pooling is a feature pooling method with good classification accuracy. Because covariance features consist of second-order statistics, the scale of the feature elements are varied. Therefore, normalizing covariance features using…

We present an extension of the Edwards model for conformations of individual chain molecules in solvents in terms of fractional Brownian motion, and discuss the excluded volume effect on the end-to-end length of such trajectories or…

In this paper we present a computation of the mean first-passage times both for a random walk in a discrete bounded lattice, between a starting site and a target site, and for a Brownian motion in a bounded domain, where the target is a…

The interplay between concentration, flow, hydrodynamic interactions (HI), and topological interactions governing semidilute polymer dynamics in strong flows are challenging to characterize. Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations are…

We prove that the self-intersection local times for generalized grey Brownian motion $B^{\beta,\alpha}$ in arbitrary dimension $d$ is a well defined object in a suitable distribution space for $d\alpha<2$.

We study the Brownian dynamics of a solid particle on a vibrating solid surface. Phenomenologically, the interaction between the two solid surfaces is modeled by solid friction, and the Gaussian white noise models the vibration of the solid…

We propose a novel strategy for designing chaotic micromixers using curved channels confined between two flat planes. The location of the separatrix between the Dean vortices, induced by centrifugal force, is dependent on the location of…

We show that perturbing ill-posed differential equations with (potentially very) smooth random processes can restore well-posedness -- even if the perturbation is (potentially much) more regular than the drift component of the solution. The…

The approach to the theory of a relativistic random process is considered by the path integral method as Brownian motion taking into account the boundedness of speed. An attempt was made to build a relativistic analogue of the Wiener…

Let $\xi(k,n)$ be the local time of a simple symmetric random walk on the line. We give a strong approximation of the centered local time process $\xi(k,n)-\xi(0,n)$ in terms of a Wiener sheet and an independent Wiener process, time changed…

For a symmetric random walk in $Z^2$ with $2+\delta$ moments, we represent $|\mathcal{R}(n)|$, the cardinality of the range, in terms of an expansion involving the renormalized intersection local times of a Brownian motion. We show that for…

We extend the analysis of a thermal Brownian motor reported in Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 090601 (2004) by C. Van den Broeck, R. Kawai, and P. Meurs to a three-dimensional configuration. We calculate the friction coefficient, diffusion…

A recent experiment on Brownian motion has been interpreted to exhibit direct evidence for microscopic chaos. In this note we demonstrate that virtually identical results can be obtained numerically using a manifestly microscopically…
