In this paper, we study a simple model of a diffusive particle on a line, undergoing a stochastic resetting with rate $r$, via rescaling its current position by a factor $a$, which can be either positive or negative. For $|a|<1$, the…

We study the long-time behavior of underdamped Brownian particle moving through a viscous medium and in a systematic potential, when it is subjected to a space-dependent high-frequency periodic force. When the frequency is very large, much…
