We rigorously derive non-equilibrium space-time fluctuation for the particle density of a system of reflected diffusions in bounded Lipschitz domains in $\mathbb R^d$. The particles are independent and are killed by a time-dependent…

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…

How long does a diffusing molecule spend in a close vicinity of a confining boundary or a catalytic surface? This quantity is determined by the boundary local time, which plays thus a crucial role in the description of various…
