We consider a one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle (RTP) confined by an external potential and coupled to a thermal reservoir. Starting from the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation, we derive an explicit expression for the local entropy…

The motile micro-organisms such as E. coli, sperm, or some seaweed are usually modelled by self-propelled particles that move with the run-and-tumble process. Individual-based stochastic models are usually employed to model the aggregation…

Abridged abstract: Inert interactions between randomly moving entities and spatial disorder play a crucial role in quantifying the diffusive properties of a system. These interactions affect only the movement of the entities, and examples…

We investigate the Brownian diffusion of particles in one spatial dimension and in the presence of finite regions within which particles can either evaporate or be reset to a given location. For open boundary conditions, we highlight the…

We study the dynamics of a single inertial run-and-tumble particle on a straight line. The motion of this particle is characterized by two intrinsic time-scales, namely, an inertial and an active time-scale. We show that interplay of these…

This paper presents an event-triggered boundary control strategy for a class of reaction-diffusion PDEs with time-varying reactivity under Robin actuation. The control approach consists of a backstepping full-state feedback boundary…
