We consider processes of deterministic motions on $k$ copies of the star-like graph $S_k= K_{1,k}$ with $k$ edges which are perturbed by two stochastic mechanisms: one caused by interfaces located at the graphs' centers, the other…
Firstly, we shall introduce the so-called snapping out Walsh's Brownian motion and present its relation with Walsh's Brownian motion. Then the stiff problem related to Walsh's Brownian motion will be described and we shall build a phase…
We elaborate on the theorem saying that as permeability coefficients of snapping-out Brownian motions tend to infinity in such a way that their ratio remains constant, these processes converge to a skew Brownian motion. In particular,…
We provide a detailed description of all possible Feller processes on infinite} star graphs with finite number of edges, processes that while away from the graph's center behave like a one-dimensional Brownian motion. The description can be…
We give a probabilistic representation of a one-dimensional diffusion equation where the solution is discontinuous at $0$ with a jump proportional to its flux. This kind of interface condition is usually seen as a semi-permeable barrier.…
The paper contains the probabilistic analysis of the Brownian motion on the simplest quantum graph, spider: a system of N-half axis connected only at the graph's origin by the simplest (so-called Kirchhoff's) gluing conditions. The limit…
A diffusion spider is a strong Markov process with continuous paths taking values on a graph with one vertex and a finite number of edges (of infinite length). An example is Walsh's Brownian spider where the process on each edge behaves as…
We consider the Brownian ``spider process'', also known as Walsh Brownian motion, first introduced in the epilogue of Walsh 1978. The paper provides the best constant $C_n$ for the inequality $$ E D_\tau\leq C_n \sqrt{E \tau},$$ where…
From the perspective of the theory of operator semigroups, we reflect back on the classical theorem of Portenko devoted to approximation of skew Brownian motion. The theorem says that by concentrating the power of drift of a diffusion…
This paper is concerned with the construction of several stochastic processes in a star graph, that is a non-euclidean structure where some features of the classical modelling fail. We propose a model for trapping phenomena with…
Brownian motions on star graphs in the sense of It\^o-McKean, that is, Walsh processes admitting a generalized boundary behavior including stickiness and jumps and having an angular distribution with finite support, are examined. Their…
We present a new proof of the extended arc-sine law related to Walsh's Brownian motion, known also as Brownian spider. The main argument mimics the scaling property used previously, in particular by D. Williams in the 1-dimensional Brownian…
A classification for Brownian motions on metric graphs, that is, right continuous strong Markov processes which behave like a one-dimensional Brownian motion on the edges and feature effects like Walsh skewness, stickiness and jumps at the…
Local perturbations of a Brownian motion are considered. As a limit we obtain a non-Markov process that behaves as a reflected Brownian motion on the positive half line until its local time at zero reaches some exponential level, then…
We construct Brownian motion on a wide class of metric spaces similar to graphs, and show that its cover time admits an upper bound depending only on the length of the space.
We consider a branching Brownian motion with linear drift in which particles are killed on exiting the interval (0,K) and study the evolution of the process on the event of survival as the width of the interval shrinks to the critical value…
Diffusion through semipermeable structures arises in a wide range of processes in the physical and life sciences. Examples at the microscopic level range from artificial membranes for reverse osmosis to lipid bilayers regulating molecular…
We give a proof of a result on the growth of the number of particles along chosen paths in a branching Brownian motion. The work follows the approach of classical large deviations results, in which paths in $C[0,1]$ are rescaled onto…
We consider the continuous time symmetric random walk with a slow bond on $\mathbb Z$, which rates are equal to $1/2$ for all bonds, except for the bond of vertices $\{-1,0\}$, which associated rate is given by $\alpha n^{-\beta}/2$, where…
A particle moves randomly over the integer points of the real line. Jumps of the particle outside the membrane (a fixed "locally perturbating set") are i.i.d., have zero mean and finite variance, whereas jumps of the particle from the…
