In this paper we consider a random search process with stochastic resetting and a partially accessible target $\calU$. That is, when the searcher finds the target by attaching to its surface $\partial \calU$ it does not have immediate…

We propose a mean-field model of intermittent particle transport, where a particle may be in one of two phases: the first is an active (ballistic) phase, when a particle runs with constant velocity in some direction, and the second is a…

We consider Brownian motion under resetting in higher dimensions for the case when the return of the particle to the origin occurs at a constant speed. We investigate the behavior of the probability density function (PDF) and of the…

We combine the processes of resetting and first-passage to define \emph{first-passage resetting}, where the resetting of a random walk to a fixed position is triggered by a first-passage event of the walk itself. In an infinite domain,…

A positive rate of entropy production at steady state is a distinctive feature of truly non-equilibrium processes. Exact results, while being often limited to simple models, offer a unique opportunity to explore the thermodynamic features…

Systems switching between different dynamical phases is an ubiquitous phenomenon. The general understanding of such a process is limited. To this end, we present a general expression that captures fluctuations of a system exhibiting a…

We explore the effects of stochastic resetting to random positions of a Brownian particle on first passage times and Shannon's entropy. We explore the different entropy regimes, namely, the \textit{externally-driven}, the…

In this paper, we study a simple model of a diffusive particle on a line, undergoing a stochastic resetting with rate $r$, via rescaling its current position by a factor $a$, which can be either positive or negative. For $|a|<1$, the…

Stochastic resetting is known for its ability to accelerate search processes and induce non-equilibrium steady states. Here, we compare the relaxation times and resulting steady states of resetting and thermal relaxation for Brownian motion…

We study the effect of stochastic resetting on a run and tumble particle (RTP) in two spatial dimensions. We consider a resetting protocol which affects both the position and orientation of the RTP: with a constant rate the particle…

We study a class of stochastic resetting (SR) processes in which a diffusing particle alternates between free motion and confinement by an externally controlled potential. When the particle is recaptured, it undergoes a return trajectory…

Processes controlled by stochastic synthesis and degradation (SSD) are widespread in biology but their reaction kinetics are not well understood. Using methods borrowed from the theory of resetting processes, we determine the first-passage…

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 many physical situations, there appears the problem of reaching a single target that is spatially distributed. Here we analyse how stochastic resetting, also spatially distributed, can be used to improve the search process when the…

We study how stochastic resetting affects first-passage processes in systems of many interacting particles. While resetting is well understood for single-particle dynamics, its consequences for collective behavior remain less clear. We…

One of the characteristic features of a stochastic process under resetting is that the probability density converges to a nonequilibrium stationary state (NESS). In addition, the approach to the stationary state exhibits a dynamical phase…
