Particle transport in complex environments such as the interior of living cells is often (transiently) non-Fickian or anomalous, that is, it deviates from the laws of Brownian motion. Such anomalies may be the result of small-scale…

Be $X_t$ a random process starting at $x \in [0,1]$ with absorbing boundary conditions at both ends of the interval. Denote $P_1(x)$ the probability to first exit at the upper boundary. For Brownian motion, $P_1(x)=x$, equivalent to…

We study stationary fluctuations in two models involving $N$ Brownian particles undergoing stochastic resetting to the origin in 1d. We start with the basic reset model where the particles reset independently (model A). Then we introduce…

Diffusion behavior of Brownian particles in confined spaces was studied for the displacements notably shorter than the confinement size. The confinements, resembling structure of porous solids, were modeled using a spatially-varying…

We extend the random walk framework to include compounded steps, providing first-passage time (FPT) properties for a new class of superdiffusive processes, which are governed by the space-fractional spectral Fokker-Planck equation. This…
