We study a Brownian motion with drift in a wedge of angle $\beta$ which is obliquely reflected on each edge along angles $\varepsilon$ and $\delta$. We assume that the classical parameter $\alpha=\frac{\delta+\varepsilon - \pi}{\beta}$ is…

We use the Fokker Planck equation as a starting point for studying the orientational probability distribution of an Active Brownian Particle (ABP) in $(d+1)$ dimensions. This Fokker Planck equation admits an exact solution in series form…

For every bounded planar domain $D$ with a smooth boundary, we define a `Lyapunov exponent' $\Lambda(D)$ using a fairly explicit formula. We consider two reflected Brownian motions in $D$, driven by the same Brownian motion (i.e., a…

Let $A_t$ be an $\alpha$-stable symmetric process, $0<\alpha\leq 2$, on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a bounded domain. This paper presents a proof, based on the classical Brascamp-Lieb-Luttinger inequalities for multiple…

We address the problem of optimizing a Brownian motion. We consider a (random) realization $W$ of a Brownian motion with input space in $[0,1]$. Given $W$, our goal is to return an $\epsilon$-approximation of its maximum using the smallest…

Motivated by an approximation problem from mathematical finance, we analyse the stability of the boundary crossing probability for the multivariate Brownian motion process, with respect to small changes of the boundary. Under broad…

We estimate the mean first time, called the mean rotation time (MRT), for a planar random polymer to wind around a point. This polymer is modeled as a collection of n rods, each of them being parameterized by a Brownian angle. We are led to…

We show that a Brownian motion on $\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}$ which is allowed to spend a total of $s > 0$ time units outside a bounded interval does not leave the interval at all. This can be seen as an extreme example of entropic repulsion.…

We show that the Kronecker sum of d >= 2 copies of a random one-dimensional sparse model displays a spectral transition of the type predicted by Anderson, from absolutely continuous around the center of the band to pure point around the…

The distribution of exit times is computed for a Brownian particle in spherically symmetric two- dimensional domains (disks, angular sectors, annuli) and in rectangles that contain an exit on their boundary. The governing partial…

In the paper "On Truncated Variation of Brownian Motion with Drift" (Bull. Pol. Acad. Sci. Math. 56 (2008), no.4, 267 - 281) we defined truncated variation of Brownian motion with drift, $W_t = B_t + \mu t, t\geq 0,$ where $(B_t)$ is a…

The exponential B-spline basis function set is used to develop a collocation method for some initial boundary value problems (IBVPs) to the Gardner equation. The Gardner equation has two nonlinear terms, namely quadratic and cubic ones. The…

The three arcsine laws for Brownian motion are a cornerstone of extreme-value statistics. For a Brownian $B_t$ starting from the origin, and evolving during time $T$, one considers the following three observables: (i) the duration $t_+$ the…

Given a standard Brownian motion $B^{\mu}=(B_t^{\mu})_{0\le t\le T}$ with drift $\mu \in IR$ and letting $g$ denote the last zero of $B^{\mu}$ before $T$, we consider the optimal prediction problem V_*=\inf_{0\le \tau \le T}\mathsf…
