The standard diffusive spreading, characterized by a Gaussian distribution with mean square displacement that grows linearly with time, can break down, for instance, under the presence of correlations and heterogeneity. In this work, we…

In this paper, we study elastic Brownian motion on a \(C^2\) domain. Instead of being killed at the boundary, the process restarts from a random position inside the domain. We characterize this process through its stochastic differential…

In order to approximate the exit time of a one-dimensional diffusion process, we propose an algorithm based on a random walk. Such an algorithm was already introduced in both the Brownian context and in the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck context. Here…

In this article we show a robustness theorem for controlled stochastic differential equations driven by approximations of Brownian motion. Often, Brownian motion is used as an idealized model of a diffusion where approximations such as…

We investigate the mean first passage time of an active Brownian particle in one dimension using numerical simulations. The activity in one dimension is modeled as a two state model; the particle moves with a constant propulsion strength…

Over a century ago, Einstein formulated a precise mathematical model for describing Brownian motion. While this model adequately explains the diffusion of micron-sized particles in fluids, its limitations become apparent when applied to…

Aim of this note is to analyse branching Brownian motion within the class of models introduced in the recent paper [4] and called chemical diffusion master equations. These models provide a description for the probabilistic evolution of…

The first of $N$ identical independently distributed (i.i.d.) Brownian trajectories that arrives to a small target, sets the time scale of activation, which in general is much faster than the arrival to the target of only a single…

Suppose a solid has a crack filled with a gas. If the crack reaches the surrounding medium, how long does it take the gas to diffuse out of the crack? Iterated Brownian motion serves as a model for diffusion in a crack. If \tau is the first…

An exact expression for the distribution of the area swept out by a drifted Brownian motion till its first-passage time is derived. A study of the asymptotic behaviour confirms earlier conjectures and clarifies their range of validity. The…
