Poisson restart assumes that a stochastic process is interrupted and starts again at random time moments. A number of studies have demonstrated that this strategy may minimize the expected completion time in some classes of random search…

The effect of partial absorption on a diffusive particle which stochastically resets its position with a finite rate $r$ is considered. The particle is absorbed by a target at the origin with absorption `velocity' $a$; as the velocity $a$…

Stochastic resetting has shown promise in enhancing the stability of dynamical systems. Here, we apply this concept to theta neuron networks with partial resetting, where only a fraction of neurons is intermittently reset. We examine both…

We study a stochastic multiplicative process with reset events. It is shown that the model develops a stationary power-law probability distribution for the relevant variable, whose exponent depends on the model parameters. Two qualitatively…

A common theme in stochastic optimization problems is that, theoretically, stochastic algorithms need to "know" relatively rich information about the underlying distributions. This is at odds with most applications, where distributions are…
