A novel paradigm for sorting is introduced, based upon resetting. Using simple examples, we demonstrate that sorting is achieved by resetting the velocity component(s) or orientation of the particles, rather than position. The objects to be…

We study the non-equilibrium steady states and first passage properties of a Brownian particle with position $X$ subject to an external confining potential of the form $V(X)=\mu|X|$, and that is switched on and off stochastically. Applying…

The steady state distribution of the position of a Brownian particle diffusing in logarithmic-harmonic potential with stochastic resetting is obtained analytically. We show that there are two critical conditions that determine the behavior…
