Although resetting has widespread applicability, applying it to the dynamics in the presence of spatial quenched disorder, which is essential in many physical problems, is challenging. In this study, we consider a well-known one-dimensional…

Stochastic motion of particles in a highly unstable potential generates a number of diverging trajectories leading to undefined statistical moments of the particle position. This makes experiments challenging and breaks down a standard…

Optically trapped particles are often subject to a non-conservative scattering force arising from radiation pressure. In this paper we present an exact solution for the steady state statistics of an overdamped Brownian particle subjected to…

Non-typical transport phenomena may arise when randomly driven particles remain in an active relationship with the environment instead of being passive. If we attribute to Brownian particles an ability to induce alterations of the…

In this paper we consider a threshold surface absorption mechanism for a particle diffusing in a domain containing a single target $\calU $. The target boundary $\partial \calU$ is taken to be a reactive surface that modifies an internal…

For systems in an externally controllable time-dependent potential, the optimal protocol minimizes the mean work spent in a finite-time transition between two given equilibrium states. For overdamped dynamics which ignores inertia effects,…

Renewal processes are zero-dimensional processes defined by independent intervals of time between zero crossings of a random walker. We subject renewal processes them to stochastic resetting by setting the position of the random walker to…

Biological systems often consist of a small number of constituents and are therefore inherently noisy. To function effectively, these systems must employ mechanisms to constrain the accumulation of noise. Such mechanisms have been…

We investigate the impact of intermittent energy injections on a Brownian particle, modeled as stochastic renewals of its kinetic energy to a fixed value. Between renewals, the particle follows standard underdamped Langevin dynamics. For…

We study a system of $N$ noninteracting particles on a line in the presence of a harmonic trap $U(x)=\mu \bigl[x-z(t)\bigr]^2/2$, where the trap center $z(t)$ undergoes a bounded stochastic modulation. We show that this stochastic…
