We consider a stochastic search model with resetting for an unknown stationary target $a\in\mathbb{R}^d,\ d\ge1$, with known distribution $\mu$. The searcher begins at the origin and performs Brownian motion with diffusion coefficient $D$.…
The first-return time is the time that it takes a random walker to go back to the initial position for the first time. We study the first-return time when random walkers perform fractional kinetics, specifically fractional diffusion, that…

We address the effect of stochastic resetting on diffusion and subdiffusion process. For diffusion we find that MSD relaxes to a constant only when the distribution of reset times possess finite mean and variance. In this case, the leading…
Quantifying how spatial disorder affects the movement of a diffusing particle or agent is fundamental to target search studies. When diffusion occurs on a network, that is on a highly disordered environment, we lack the mathematical tools…

The time of the first occurrence of a threshold crossing event in a stochastic process, known as the first passage time, is of interest in many areas of sciences and engineering. Conventionally, there is an implicit assumption that the…

This paper presents a diffusion process with a novel resetting mechanism in which the amplitude of the process is instantaneously converted to a proportion of its value at random times. This model is described by a Langevin equation with…
We consider high-order stochastic processes $x(t)$ described by the Langevin equation $\frac{{{d^m}x\left( t \right)}}{{d{t^m}}}= \sqrt{2D} \xi(t)$, where $\xi(t)$ is a delta-correlated Gaussian noise with zero mean, and $D$ is the strength…
