We investigate steady-state current fluctuations in two models of run-and-tumble particles (RTPs) on a ring of $L$ sites, for \textit{arbitrary} tumbling rate $\gamma=\tau_p^{-1}$ and density $\rho$; model I consists of standard hardcore…
Consider detectors waiting for a quantum particle to arrive at a surface $S$ in 3-space. For predicting the probability distribution of the time and place of detection, a rule was proposed in [arXiv:1601.03715], called the absorbing…
We explore the properties of run-and-tumble particles moving in a piecewise-linear "ratchet" potential by deriving analytic results for the system's steady-state probability density, current, entropy production rate, extractable power, and…

Motivated by various recent experimental findings, we propose a dynamical model of intermittently self-propelled particles: active particles that recurrently switch between two modes of motion, namely an active run-state and a turn state,…
Starting from a continuous time random walk (CTRW) model of particles that may evanesce as they walk, our goal is to arrive at macroscopic integro-differential equations for the probability density for a particle to be found at point r at…
In this paper, we investigate the phenomenon of particle rebound in a viscous incompressible fluid environment. We focus on the important case of no-slip boundary conditions, for which it is by now classical that, under certain assumptions,…
Intracellular processes often rely on the timely encounter of mobile reaction partners, including intermittently motor-driven organelles. The underlying cytoskeletal network presents a complex landscape that both directs particle movement…
In this paper, we examine the cause of the border effect observed in many mobility models used to construct simulations of ad hoc networking protocol performance. We specify conditions under which a node mobility model must produce spatial…
We study the situation in which the distribution of temperature a body is due to its interaction with radiation. We consider the boundary value problem for the stationary radiative transfer equation under the assumption of the local…

Fractional Brownian motion is a Gaussian process x(t) with zero mean and two-time correlations <x(t)x(s)> ~ t^{2H} + s^{2H} - |t-s|^{2H}, where H, with 0<H<1 is called the Hurst exponent. For H = 1/2, x(t) is a Brownian motion, while for H…
