We analyse mobile-immobile transport of particles that switch between the mobile and immobile phases with finite rates. Despite this seemingly simple assumption of Poissonian switching we unveil a rich transport dynamics including…

At the macroscopic scale, many important models of collective motion fall into the class of kinematic flows for which both velocity and diffusion terms depend only on particle density. When total particle numbers are fixed and finite,…

When a particle diffuses in a medium with spatially dependent friction coefficient $\alpha(r)$ at constant temperature $T$, it drifts toward the low friction end of the system even in the absence of any real physical force $f$. This…

We introduce a simple stochastic system able to generate anomalous diffusion both for position and velocity. The model represents a viable description of the Fermi's acceleration mechanism and it is amenable to analytical treatment through…

The non-Gaussian normal diffusion, i.e., the probability distribution function (PDF) is non-Gaussian but the mean squared displacement (MSD) depends on time linearly, has been observed in particle motions. Here we show by numerical…

A Langevin process diffusing in a periodic potential landscape has a time dependent diffusion constant which means that its average mean squared displacement (MSD) only becomes linear at late times. The long time, or effective diffusion…

Anomalous diffusion has been widely observed by single particle tracking microscopy in complex systems such as biological cells. The resulting time series are usually evaluated in terms of time averages. Often anomalous diffusion is…

Non-Gaussian diffusion was recently observed in gas mixtures with mass and fraction contrast [F. Nakai et al, Phys. Rev. E 107, 014605 (2023)]. The mean square displacement of a minor gas particle with a small mass is linear in time, while…
