In the stochastic sandpile model on a graph, particles interact pairwise as follows: if two particles occupy the same vertex, they must each take an independent random walk step with some probability $0<p<1$ of not moving. These…

The dispersion problem on graphs requires $k$ robots placed arbitrarily at the $n$ nodes of an anonymous graph, where $k \leq n$, to coordinate with each other to reach a final configuration in which each robot is at a distinct node of the…

We consider diffusion-limited annihilating systems with mobile $A$-particles and stationary $B$-particles placed throughout a graph. Mutual annihilation occurs whenever an $A$-particle meets a $B$-particle. Such systems, when ran in…

The Fleming-Viot process describes a system of $N$ particles diffusing on a graph with an absorbing site. Whenever one of the particles is absorbed, it is replaced by a new particle at the position of one of the $N-1$ remaining particles.…

An asymmetric exclusion process with $N$ particles on $L$ sites is considered where particles can move one or two sites per infinitesimal time-step. An exact analysis for N=2 and a mean-field theory in comparison with simulations show…

We consider diffusion processes on metric graphs with semipermeable sticky membranes in each vertex. We prove that the process is governed by a Feller semigroup and find its asymptotic behavior as diffusion's speed increases to infinity…

We study a system of particles moving on a line in the same direction. Passing is allowed and when a fast particle overtakes a slow particle, it acquires a new velocity drawn from a distribution P_0(v), while the slow particle remains…

We study a system consisting of $n$ particles, moving forward in jumps on the real line. Each particle can make both independent jumps, whose sizes have some distribution, or ``synchronization'' jumps, which allow it to join a randomly…

We consider an elementary model for self-organised criticality, the activated random walk on the complete graph. We introduce a discrete time Markov chain as follows. At each time step, we add an active particle at a random vertex and let…

We consider a collection of weakly interacting diffusion processes moving in a two-scale locally periodic environment. We study the large deviations principle of the empirical distribution of the particles' positions in the combined limit…

The divisible sandpile starts with i.i.d. random variables ("masses") at the vertices of an infinite, vertex-transitive graph, and redistributes mass by a local toppling rule in an attempt to make all masses at most 1. The process…
