Probability currents are fundamental in characterizing the kinetics of non-equilibrium processes. Notably, the steady-state current $J_{ss}$ for a source-sink system can provide the exact mean-first-passage time (MFPT) for the transition…

Stochastic diffusion is the noisy and uncertain process through which dynamics like epidemics, or agents like animal species, disperse over a larger area. Understanding these processes is becoming increasingly important as we attempt to…

Stochastic thermodynamics provides a framework for describing small systems like colloids or biomolecules driven out of equilibrium but still in contact with a heat bath. Both, a first-law like energy balance involving exchanged heat and…

In car-following models, the driver reacts according to his physical and psychological abilities which may change over time. However, most car-following models are deterministic and do not capture the stochastic nature of human perception.…

Inspired by problems in biochemical kinetics, we study statistical properties of an overdamped Langevin process whose friction coefficient depends on the state of a similar, unobserved process. Integrating out the latter, we derive the long…

It is non-trivial to recognize phase transitions and track dynamics inside a stochastic process because of its intrinsic stochasticity. In this paper, we employ the deep learning method to classify the phase orders and predict the damping…
