We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes on quenched random energy landscapes. We show that the current and the diffusion coefficient differ from those for homogeneous environments. Using the mean-field approximation,…

In the present work, we explore homogenization techniques for a class of switching diffusion processes whose drift and diffusion coefficients, and jump intensities are smooth, spatially periodic functions; we assume full coupling between…

Several models of stock trading [P. Bak et al, Physica A {\bf 246}, 430 (1997)] are analyzed in analogy with one-dimensional, two-species reaction-diffusion-branching processes. Using heuristic and scaling arguments, we show that the…

We analyse how simple local constraints in two dimensions lead a defect to exhibit robust, non-transient, and tunable, subdiffusion. We uncover a rich dynamical phenomenology realised in ice- and dimer-type models. On the microscopic scale…
