The appealing theoretical measure of irreversibility in a stochastic process, as the ratio of the probabilities of a trajectory and its time reversal, cannot be accessed directly in experiment since the probability of a single trajectory is…
Santal\'o calculated the measures for all positions of a moving line segment in which it lies inside a fixed circle and intersects this circle in one or two points. From these measures he concluded hitting probabilities for a line segment…
It is well known that compactifying a space can break symmetries that are present in the covering space. In this paper we study the effects of such topological symmetry breaking on point-particle motion when the particle is coupled to a…

We study statistical properties of a one dimensional infinite system of coalescing particles. Each particle moves with constant velocity $\pm v$ towards its closest neighbor and merges with it upon collision. We propose a mean-field theory…

We introduce a simple dynamical rule in which each particle locates a particle that is farthest from it and moves towards it. Repeated application of this algorithm results in the formation of unusual dynamical patterns: during the process…

The kinetics of collisionless continuous medium is studied in a bounded region on a curved manifold. We have assumed that in statistical equilibrium, the probability distribution density depends only on the total energy. It is shown that in…
The random measures on the space of continuous functions are considered. Stationary random measures are described. The weak solutions of the stochastic equations are substituted by the strong measure-valued solutions.
We study a general class of interacting particle systems over a countable state space $V$ where on each site $x \in V$ the particle mass $\eta(x) \geq 0$ follows a stochastic differential equation. We construct the corresponding Markovian…
We investigate the impact of noise on a two-dimensional simple paradigmatic piecewise-smooth dynamical system. For that purpose we consider the motion of a particle subjected to dry friction and coloured noise. The finite correlation time…
We use probabilistic methods to study properties of mean-field models, arising as large-scale limits of certain particle systems with mean-field interaction. The underlying particle system is such that $n$ particles move forward on the real…
When identical particles on a line collide, they merge and continue as one. Exact determinantal formulas have long been available for particles conditioned never to collide, but collisions change the number of particles, and exact…
The position density of a "particle" performing a continuous-time quantum walk on the integer lattice, viewed on length scales inversely proportional to the time t, converges (as t tends to infinity) to a probability distribution that…
