We develop a theory of reversible diffusion-controlled reactions with generalized binding/unbinding kinetics. In this framework, a diffusing particle can bind to the reactive substrate after a random number of arrivals onto it, with a given…

We study the relaxation of a diffusive particle confined in an arbitrary external potential and subject to a non-Markovian resetting protocol. With a constant rate $r$, a previous time $\tau$ between the initial time and the present time…

We study a one-dimensional diffusion $X$ in a drifted Brownian potential $W\_\kappa$, with $ 0\textless{}\kappa\textless{}1$, and focus on the behavior of the local times $(\mathcal{L}(t,x),x)$ of $X$ before time $t\textgreater{}0$.In…

During a random search, resetting the searcher's position from time to time to the starting point often reduces the mean completion time of the process. Although many different resetting models have been studied over the past ten years,…

We study the non-Arrhenius behavior of surface diffusion near the second-order phase transition boundary of an adsorbate layer. In contrast to expectations based on macroscopic thermodynamic effects, we show that this behavior can be…

A new solution to the mono-dimensional diffusion equation for time-variable first kind boundary condition is presented where the time-variable function at the surface is derived proposing a surface saturation model. This solution may be…

We determine how long a diffusing particle spends in a given spatial range before it dies at an absorbing boundary. In one dimension, for a particle that starts at $x_0$ and is absorbed at $x=0$, the average residence time in the range…

In this Topical Review we consider stochastic processes under resetting, which have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. We begin with the simple example of a diffusive particle whose position is reset randomly in time with a…

We revise the encounter-based approach to imperfect diffusion-controlled reactions, which employs the statistics of encounters between a diffusing particle and the reactive region to implement surface reactions. We extend this approach to…

We investigate a class of diffusion-controlled reactions that are initiated at the time instance when a prescribed number $K$ among $N$ particles independently diffusing in a solvent are simultaneously bound to a target region. In the…
