We investigate semi-stiff interacting self-avoiding walks on the square lattice with random impurities. The walks are simulated using the flatPERM algorithm and the inhomogeneity is realised as a random fraction of the lattice that is…

We establish quantitative homogenization results for time-dependent random conductance models with stable-like long range jumps on $\Z^d$, where the transition probability from $x$ to $y$ is given by $w_{t, x,y}|x-y|^{-d-\alpha}$ with…
We consider random conductance models with long range jumps on $\Z^d$, where the one-step transition probability from $x$ to $y$ is proportional to $w_{x,y}|x-y|^{-d-\alpha}$ with $\alpha\in (0,2)$. Assume that $\{w_{x,y}\}_{(x,y)\in E}$…
For more than a century lattice random walks have been employed ubiquitously, both as a theoretical laboratory to develop intuition about more complex stochastic processes and as a tool to interpret a vast array of empirical observations.…
We recently demonstrated that standard fixed-time lattice random-walk models cannot be modified to properly represent biased diffusion processes in more than two dimensions. The origin of this fundamental limitation appears to be the fact…
We present a Monte Carlo study of a lattice gas driven out of equilibrium by a local hopping bias. Sites can be empty or occupied by one of two types of particles, which are distinguished by their response to the hopping bias. All particles…
We numerically investigate the dynamic heterogeneity and its length scale found in the coarse-grained ionic liquid model systems. In our ionic liquid model systems, cations are modeled as dimers with positive charge, while anions are…
