The effect of random shooting of particles is considered on the basis of solution of the Schrodinger equation and in terms of the Wigner function. Two-particles description shows, in particular, that initial correlation leads to high…
A particle entering a scattering and absorbing medium executes a random walk through a sequence of scattering events. The particle ultimately achieves first-passage, leaving the medium or it is absorbed. The Kubelka-Munk model describes a…
Given a domain G, a reflection vector field d(.) on the boundary of G, and drift and dispersion coefficients b(.) and \sigma(.), let L be the usual second-order elliptic operator associated with b(.) and \sigma(.). Under suitable…

We consider reaction-diffusion equations on the planar square lattice that admit spectrally stable planar travelling wave solutions. We show that these solutions can be continued into a branch of travelling corners. As an example, we…

We study a model of active particles that perform a simple random walk and on top of that have a preferred direction determined by an internal state which is modelled by a stationary Markov process. First we calculate the limiting diffusion…
The transition probability for a one-dimensional discrete symmetric random walk under a reflecting barrier was once given by the method of images. [S. Chandrasekhar, Rev. Mod. Phys. 15, 1 (1943).] However, several inconsistencies have been…
We investigate the motion of a suspended non-Brownian sphere past a fixed cylindrical or spherical obstacle in the limit of zero Reynolds number for arbitrary particle-obstacle aspect ratios. We consider both a suspended sphere moving in a…
The horizontal dynamics of a bouncing ball interacting with an irregular surface is investigated and is found to demonstrate behavior analogous to a random walk. Its stochastic character is substantiated by the calculation of a permutation…
It is shown that particles undergoing discrete-time jumps in 3D, starting at a distance r0 from the center of an adsorbing sphere of radius R, are captured with probability (R - c sigma)/r0 for r0 much greater than R, where c is related to…
The differential cross-section for the reflection of light beams off rigid bodies obtained by the rotation of a generic derivable convex function is calculated. The calculation is developed using elementary notions of calculus and is…
We obtain normal forms for symmetric and for reversible polynomial automorphisms (polynomial maps that have polynomial inverses) of the plane. Our normal forms are based on the generalized \Henon normal form of Friedland and Milnor. We…
The single-file problem of N particles in one spatial dimension is analyzed, when each particle has a randomly distributed diffusion constant D sampled in a density $\rho(D)$. The averaged one-particle distributions of the edge particles…
Take a multidimensional normally or obliquely reflected diffusion in a smooth domain. Approximate it by solutions of stochastic differential equations without reflection using the penalty method. That is, we approximate the reflection term…

Planar run-and-tumble walks with orthogonal directions of motion are considered. After formulating the problem with generic transition probabilities among the orientational states, we focus on the symmetric case, giving general expressions…
