We characterize the subexponential densities on $(0,\infty)$ for compound Poisson distributions on $[0,\infty)$ with absolutely continuous L\'evy measures. As a corollary, we show that the class of all subexponential probability density…

Anomalous diffusion phenomena have been observed in many complex physical and biological systems. One significant advance recently is the physical extension of particle's motion in static medium to uniformly (and even nonuniformly)…

We solve a model of sluggish stochastic motion in which a Brownian particle diffuses with a diffusion coefficient that decays algebraically with the distance to the origin, as $|x|^{-\alpha}$. Additionally, the particle resets with a…

We introduce a L\'evy-Lorentz gas in which a light particle is scattered by static point scatterers arranged on a line. We investigate the case where the intervals between scatterers $\{\xi_i \}$ are independent random variables identically…

The dynamical discrete web is a system of one-dimensional coalescing random walks that evolves in an extra dynamical time parameter. At any deterministic dynamical time, the paths behave as coalescing simple symmetric random walks. This…

We consider the branching random walk on the real line where the underlying motion is of a simple random walk and branching is at least binary and at most decaying exponentially in law. It is well known that the normalized empirical measure…

Levy walk is a fundamental model with applications ranging from quantum physics to paths of animal foraging. Taking animal foraging as an example, a natural idea that comes to one's mind is to introduce the multiple internal states for…

We consider random walks in dynamic random environments given by Markovian dynamics on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We assume that the environment has a stationary distribution $\mu$ and satisfies the Poincar\'e inequality w.r.t. $\mu$. The random walk…
