We study the stochastic dynamics of a particle with two distinct motility states. Each one is characterized by two parameters: one represents the average speed and the other represents the persistence quantifying the tendency to maintain…
We demonstrate the non-ergodicity of a simple Markovian stochastic processes with space-dependent diffusion coefficient $D(x)$. For power-law forms $D(x) \simeq|x|^{\alpha}$, this process yield anomalous diffusion of the form $\ < x^2(t)\ >…

Experiments on particles' motion in living cells show that it is often subdiffusive. This subdiffusion may be due to trapping, percolation-like structures, or viscoelatic behavior of the medium. While the models based on trapping (leading…
We study far from equilibrium transport of a periodically driven inertial Brownian particle moving in a periodic potential. As detected recently for a SQUID ratchet dynamics (Spiechowicz J. & Luczka J. Phys. Rev. E 91, 062104 (2015)), the…
