An approximate method for studying activation over a fluctuating barrier of potential is proposed. It involves considering separately the slow and fast components of barrier fluctuations, and it applies for any value of their correlation…
In this work we consider a stochastic movement process with random resets to the origin followed by a random residence time there before the walker restarts its motion. First, we study the transport properties of the walker, we derive an…

The time-dependent barrier passage of an anomalous system-reservoir coupling non-equilibrium open environment is studied where the heat bath is modulated by an external noise. The time-dependent barrier passing probability is obtained…
We study the recovery of one-dimensional semipermeable barriers for a stochastic process in a planar domain. The considered process acts like Brownian motion when away from the barriers and is reflected upon contact until a sufficient but…
Anticipating the low energy arrangements of atoms in space is an indispensable scientific task. Modern stochastic approaches to searching for these configurations depend on the optimisation of structures to nearby local minima in the energy…
We investigate the dynamics of a quantum system subjected to a time-dependent and conditional resetting protocol. Namely, we ask: what happens when the unitary evolution of the system is repeatedly interrupted at random time instants with…
In the present work, we study random walks on complex networks subject to stochastic resetting when the resetting probability is node-dependent. Using a renewal approach, we derive the exact expressions of the stationary occupation…

We address the problem of minimizing the expected first-passage time of a Brownian motion with Poissonian resetting, with respect to the resetting rate $r.$ We consider both the one-boundary and the two-boundary cases.We investigate the…
In this paper we deal with the restricted Block Relocation Problem. We present a new lower bound and a heuristic approach for the problem. The proposed lower bound can be computed in polynomial time and it is provably better than some…
We investigate a stochastic search process in one, two, and three dimensions in which $N$ diffusing searchers that all start at $x_0$ seek a target at the origin. Each of the searchers is also reset to its starting point, either with rate…
We theoretically study the tunneling time by investigating a wave packet of Bose-condensed atoms passing through a square barrier. We find that the tunneling time exhibits different scaling laws in different energy regimes. For negative…
We solve the escape problem for the Heston random diffusion model. We obtain exact expressions for the survival probability (which ammounts to solving the complete escape problem) as well as for the mean exit time. We also average the…
We propose a generalization of the stochastic resetting mechanism for a Brownian particle diffusing in a one-dimensional periodic potential: randomly in time, the particle gets reset at the bottom of the potential well it was in. Numerical…
Diffusion and first passage in the presence of stochastic resetting and potential bias have been of recent interest. We study a few models, systematically progressing in their complexity, to understand the usefulness of resetting. In the…
We study an optimal investment problem with multiple entries and forced exits. A closed form solution of the optimisation problem is presented for general underlying diffusion dynamics and a general running payoff function in the case when…
We use an effective Hamiltonian to characterize particle dynamics and find escape rates in a periodically kicked Hamiltonian. We study a model of particles in storage rings that is described by a chaotic symplectic map. Ignoring the…
We make a brief review of the Kramers escape rate theory for the probabilistic motion of a particle in a potential well U(x), and under the influence of classical fluctuation forces. The Kramers theory is extended in order to take into…
We study a pursuit-evasion problem which can be viewed as an extension of the keep-away game. In the game, pursuer(s) will attempt to intersect or catch the evader, while the evader can visit a fixed set of locations, which we denote as the…
