We solve a problem of non-convex stochastic optimisation with help of simulated annealing of Levy flights of a variable stability index. The search of the ground state of an unknown potential is non-local due to big jumps of the Levy…

The Caldeira-Leggett model of quantum Brownian motion is generalized using a generic velocity-dependent coupling. That leads to the description of a set of models able to capture Markovian and non-Markovian versions of Brownian and L\'evy…

The L\'evy walk, a type of random walk characterized by linear step lengths that follow a power-law distribution, is observed in the migratory behaviors of various organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Notably, L\'evy walks with power…

First hitting times (FHTs) describe the time it takes a random "searcher" to find a "target" and are used to study timescales in many applications. FHTs have been well-studied for diffusive search, especially for small targets, which is…

We consider a generalization of a one-dimensional stochastic process known in the physical literature as L\'evy-Lorentz gas. The process describes the motion of a particle on the real line in the presence of a random array of marked points,…

The dynamics of the Hamiltonian mean field model is studied in the context of continuous time random walks. We show that the sojourn times in cells in the momentum space are well described by a L\'evy truncated distribution. Consequently…

Truncated L\'{e}vy flights are random walks in which the arbitrarily large steps of a L\'{e}vy flight are eliminated. Since this makes the variance finite, the central limit theorem applies, and as time increases the probability…

We find analytical solution of pair of stochastic equations with arbitrary forces and multiplicative L\'evy noises in a steady-state nonequilibrium case. This solution shows that L\'evy flights suppress always a quasi-periodical motion…

L\'evy flights constitute a broad class of random walks that occur in many fields of research, from animal foraging in biology, to economy to geophysics. The recent advent of L\'evy glasses allows to study L\'evy flights in controlled way…

For a broad class of the Levy processes the new form (convolution type) of the infinitesimal generators is introduced. It leads to the new notions: a truncated generator, a quasi-potential. The probability of the Levy process remaining…
