We study the asymptotic position distribution of general quantum walks on a lattice, including walks with a random coin, which is chosen from step to step by a general Markov chain. In the unitary (i.e., non-random) case, we allow any…

We solve a model of sluggish stochastic motion in which a Brownian particle diffuses with a diffusion coefficient that decays algebraically with the distance to the origin, as $|x|^{-\alpha}$. Additionally, the particle resets with a…

Many physical and biological processes are modeled by "particles" undergoing L\'evy random walks. A feature of significant interest in these systems is the mean square displacement (MSD) of the particles. Long-time asymptotic approximations…

We consider the dynamics of a separable Continuous Time Random Walk (CTRW) when the random walker is biased by a velocity field in a uniformly growing domain. Concrete examples for such domains include growing biological cells or lipid…

We examine diffusion-limited aggregation for a one-dimensional random walk with long jumps. We achieve upper and lower bounds on the growth rate of the aggregate as a function of the number of moments a single step of the walk has. In this…

This paper presents a new method for deriving the waiting time distribution of the lowest class in an accumulating priority (AP) queue with positive L\'evy input. The priority of a non-atomic customer (particle) is a function of their class…
