The versatility of renewal theory is owed to its abstract formulation. Renewals can be interpreted as steps of a random walk, switching events in two-state models, domain crossings of a random motion, etc. We here discuss a renewal process…
The theory of diffusion seeks to describe the motion of particles in a chaotic environment. Classical theory models individual particles as independent random walkers, effectively forgetting that particles evolve together in the same…
In this paper, we establish a relationship between the asymptotic form of conditional boundary crossing probabilities and first passage time densities for diffusion processes. Namely, we show that, under broad assumptions, the first…
With the use of the "two-fluid model", we discuss anomalous diffusion induced by active force dipoles in viscoelastic media. Active force dipoles, such as proteins and bacteria, generate non-thermal fluctuating flows that lead to a…
A new non-conservative stochastic reaction-diffusion system in which two families of random walks in two adjacent domains interact near the interface is introduced and studied in this paper. Such a system can be used to model the transport…
The propagation of light in a scattering medium is described as the motion of a special kind of a Brownian particle on which the fluctuating forces act only perpendicular to its velocity. This enforces strictly and dynamically the…
This introduction to Green's functions is based on their role as kernels of differential equations. The procedures to construct solutions to a differential equation with an external source or with an inhomogeneity term are put together to…
We propose diffusion-like equations with time and space fractional derivatives of the distributed order for the kinetic description of anomalous diffusion and relaxation phenomena, whose diffusion exponent varies with time and which,…
We develop an immersed-boundary approach to modeling reaction-diffusion processes in dispersions of reactive spherical particles, from the diffusion-limited to the reaction-limited setting. We represent each reactive particle with a…
Consider a random medium consisting of points randomly distributed so that there is no correlation among the distances. This is the random link model, which is the high dimensionality limit (mean field approximation) for the euclidean…
We calculate the pair diffusion coefficient D(r) as a function of the distance r between two hard-sphere particles in a dense monodisperse suspension. The distance-dependent pair diffusion coefficient describes the hydrodynamic interactions…
We present a concise derivation for several influential score-based diffusion models that relies on only a few textbook results. Diffusion models have recently emerged as powerful tools for generating realistic, synthetic signals --…
The diffusion of a particle in a crowded environment typically proceeds through three regimes: for very short times the particle diffuses freely until it collides with an obstacle for the first time, while for very long times diffusion the…
Several classic problems for particles diffusing outside an arbitrary configuration of non-overlapping partially reactive spherical traps in three dimensions are revisited. For this purpose, we describe the generalized method of separation…
The paper addresses the single-file diffusion in the presence of an absorbing boundary. The emphasis is on an interplay between the hard-core interparticle interaction and the absorption process. The resulting dynamics exhibits several…
This work is an attempt to transfer to biology the methods developed in physics for formulating and solving the kinetic equations in which the kernel of the integral operator in spatial coordinates is slowly decreasing with increasing…
We address the now classical problem of a diffusion process that crosses over from a ballistic behavior at short times to a fractional diffusion (sub- or super-diffusion) at longer times. Using the standard non-Markovian diffusion equation…
In this paper, we explore the reduction of functionality in a complex system as a consequence of cumulative random damage and imperfect reparation, a phenomenon modeled as a dynamical process on networks. We analyze the global…
We show that the Turing patterns in reaction systems with subdiffusion can be replicated in an effective system with Markovian cross-diffusion. The effective system has the same Turing instability as the original system, and the same…
I construct a well-defined expansion in $\epsilon=2-d$ for diffusion processes on small-world networks. The technique permits one to calculate the average over disorder of moments of the Green's function, and is used to calculate the…
