We analyze random walk through fractal environments, embedded in 3-dimensional, permeable space. Particles travel freely and are scattered off into random directions when they hit the fractal. The statistical distribution of the flight…

We consider the dynamics of the disordered, one-dimensional, symmetric zero range process in which a particle from an occupied site $k$ hops to its nearest neighbour with a quenched rate $w(k)$. These rates are chosen randomly from the…

Mathematical models of motility are often based on random-walk descriptions of discrete individuals that can move according to certain rules. It is usually the case that large masses concentrated in small regions of space have a great…

The quantum walk is a quantum counterpart of the classical random walk that exhibits nonclassical behaviors and outperforms the classical random walk in various aspects. It has been known that a single particle can be propagated by a…

We calculate the explicit probability distribution function for the flux between sites in a simple discrete time diffusive system composed of independent random walkers. We highlight some of the features of the distribution and we discuss…

We are studying the motion of a random walker in generalized d dimensional continuum with unit step length (up to 10 dimensions) and its projected one dimensional motion numerically. The motion of a random walker in lattice or continuum is…

The statistics of equally weighted random paths (ideal polymer) is studied in $2$ and $3$ dimensional percolating clusters. This is equivalent to diffusion in the presence of a trapping environment. The number of $N$ step walks follows a…

The L\'evy walk process with rests is discussed. The jumping time is governed by an $\alpha$-stable distribution with $\alpha>1$ while a waiting time distribution is Poissonian and involves a position-dependent rate which reflects a…

The iterated random walk is a random process in which a random walker moves on a one-dimensional random walk which is itself taking place on a one-dimensional random walk, and so on. This process is investigated in the continuum limit using…
