Anomalous diffusion is frequently described by scaled Brownian motion (SBM), a Gaussian process with a power-law time dependent diffusion coefficient. Its mean squared displacement is $\langle x^2(t)\rangle\simeq\mathscr{K}(t)t$ with…

We consider stochastic dynamics of a particle on a plane in presence of two noises and a confining parabolic potential - an analog of the experimentally-relevant Brownian Gyrator (BG) model. In contrast to the standard BG model, we suppose…

Non-equilibrium noise is characterized as noise realizations where external agitations disrupt the harmonic equilibrium of Brownian motion. Excitations in a particle's random walk into a so-called L\'evy flight changes the distribution of…

We introduce a stochastic nonlocal reaction--diffusion model arising in tumour dynamics. Spatial dispersal is described by the fractional Laplacian, accounting for anomalous diffusion and long--range relocation events. The system is…

Nonmagnetic particles in a carrier ferrofluid acquire an effective dipolar moment when placed in an external magnetic field. This fact leads them to form chains that will roughen due to Brownian motion when the magnetic field is decreased.…

This paper attempts to find a probability distribution for the white noise (rapidly fluctuating unbalanced force) in the Langevin Equation. Unbalanced force is the resultant impulse provided to the brownian particle by the colliding fluid…

We construct a planar diffusion process whose infinitesimal generator depends only on the order of the components of the process. Speaking informally and a bit imprecisely for the moment, imagine you run two Brownian-like particles on the…

We propose a minimal model of \emph{locally-activated diffusion}, in which the diffusion coefficient of a one-dimensional Brownian particle is modified in a prescribed way --- either increased or decreased --- upon each crossing of the…

For optimizing a non-convex function in finite dimension, a method is to add Brownian noise to a gradient descent, allowing for transitions between basins of attractions of different minimizers. To adapt this for optimization over a space…

We show that a quantum particle in $\mathbb{R}^d$, for $d \geq 1$, subject to a white-noise potential, moves super-ballistically in the sense that the mean square displacement $\int \|x\|^2 \langle \rho(x,x,t) \rangle ~dx$ grows like…
