Combining experiments on active colloids, whose propulsion velocity can be controlled via a feedback loop, and theory of active Brownian motion, we explore the dynamics of an overdamped active particle with a motility that depends…

Langevin simulations provide an effective way to study collective effects of Brownian particles immersed in a two-dimensional periodic potential. In this paper, we concentrate essentially on the behaviour of the tracer (DTr) and bulk (DB)…

The dynamical properties and diffusive behavior of a collection of mutually interacting particles are numerically investigated for two types of long-range interparticle interactions: Coulomb-electrostatic and dipole-electrodynamic. It is…

It is well known that path probabilities of Brownian motion correspond to the equilibrium configurational probabilities of flexible Gaussian polymers, while those of active Brownian motion correspond to in-extensible semiflexible polymers.…

The non-thermal nature of self-propelling colloids offers new insights into non-equilibrium physics. The central mathematical model to describe their trajectories is active Brownian motion, where a particle moves with a constant speed,…

We investigate the stochastic dynamics of one sedimenting active Brownian particle in three dimensions under the influence of gravity and passive fluctuations in the translational and rotational motion. We present an analytical solution of…

We investigate the impact of intermittent energy injections on a Brownian particle, modeled as stochastic renewals of its kinetic energy to a fixed value. Between renewals, the particle follows standard underdamped Langevin dynamics. For…

Active Brownian particles (ABPs) and Run-and-Tumble particles (RTPs) both self-propel at fixed speed $v$ along a body-axis ${\bf u}$ that reorients either through slow angular diffusion (ABPs) or sudden complete randomisation (RTPs). We…
