We study experimentally and theoretically the optimal mean time needed by a free diffusing Brownian particle to reach a target at a distance L from an initial position in the presence of resetting. Both the initial position and the…

We show that the distribution of the square of the supremum of reflected fractional Brownian motion up to time a, with Hurst parameter-H greater than 1/2, is related to the distribution of its hitting time to level $1,$ using the self…

We study stationary fluctuations in two models involving $N$ Brownian particles undergoing stochastic resetting to the origin in 1d. We start with the basic reset model where the particles reset independently (model A). Then we introduce…

We study a branching random walk on $\r$ with an absorbing barrier. The position of the barrier depends on the generation. In each generation, only the individuals born below the barrier survive and reproduce. Given a reproduction law,…

We study the current of particles that move independently in a common static random environment on the one-dimensional integer lattice. A two-level fluctuation picture appears. On the central limit scale the quenched mean of the current…

In this paper we have presented the mechanism of the barrier crossing dynamics of a Brownian particle which is coupled to a thermal bath in the presence of both time independent and fluctuating magnetic fields. Here the following three…

We study the random acceleration model, which is perhaps one of the simplest, yet nontrivial, non-Markov stochastic processes, and is key to many applications. For this non-Markov process, we present exact analytical results for the…

We study the convergence of the parameter family of series $$V_{\alpha,\beta}(t)=\sum_{p}p^{-\alpha}\exp(2\pi i p^{\beta}t),\quad \alpha,\beta \in \mathbb{R}_{>0},\; t \in [0,1)$$ defined over prime numbers $p$, and subsequently, their…

We show in detail some results, outlined in a previous paper regarding the case of Brownian motion (BM), about the distribution of the $n$th-passage time of a one-dimensional diffusion obtained by a space or time transformation of BM,…

For one-dimensional symmetric L\'{e}vy processes, which hit every point with positive probability, we give sharp bounds for the tail function of the first hitting time of B which is either a single point or an interval. The estimates are…

In this chapter, we review our recent work on first passage time (FPT) problems for absorption by a target whose interface is semipermeable. For pedagogical reasons, we focus on a single Brownian particle searching for a single target in a…

Many researchers have investigated first hitting times as models for survival data. First hitting times arise naturally in many types of stochastic processes, ranging from Wiener processes to Markov chains. In a survival context, the state…

We consider a system $x(t)=(x_{1}(t),...,x_{N}(t))$ consisting of $N$ Brownian particles with synchronizing interaction between them occurring at random time moments $\{\tau_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$. Under assumption that the free Brownian…

We consider the first-passage problem for $N$ identical independent particles that are initially released uniformly in a finite domain $\Omega$ and then diffuse toward a reactive area $\Gamma$, which can be part of the outer boundary of…

We establish the scaling limit of a class of boundary random walks to the full spectrum of Brownian-type processes on the half-line. By solving the associated martingale problem and employing weak convergence techniques, we prove that under…

We investigate the mean first passage time of an active Brownian particle in one dimension using numerical simulations. The activity in one dimension is modeled as a two state model; the particle moves with a constant propulsion strength…

In this article, we study the family of probability measures (indexed by a positive real number t), obtained by penalization of the Brownian motion by a given functional of its local times at time t. We prove that this family tends to a…

We study a one-dimensional random walk whose expected drift depends both on time and the position of a particle. We establish a non-trivial phase transition for the recurrence vs. transience of the walk, and show some interesting…

We study the random walk in random environment on {0,1,2,...}, where the environment is subject to a vanishing (random) perturbation. The two particular cases we consider are: (i) random walk in random environment perturbed from Sinai's…

In mechanical systems it is of interest to know the onset of fracture in dependence of the boundary conditions. Here we study a one-dimensional model which allows for an underlying heterogeneous structure in the discrete setting. Such…
