First passage under restart has recently emerged as a conceptual framework to study various stochastic processes under restart mechanism. Emanating from the canonical diffusion problem by Evans and Majumdar, restart has been shown to…
Stochastic resetting has emerged as a useful strategy to reduce the completion time for a broad class of first passage processes. In the canonical setup, one intermittently resets a given system to its initial configuration only to start…

We study the first passage statistics to adsorbing boundaries of a Brownian motion in bounded two-dimensional domains of different shapes and configurations of the adsorbing and reflecting boundaries. From extensive numerical analysis we…
We study the problem of a target search by a Brownian particle subject to stochastic resetting to a pair of sites. The mean search time is minimized by an optimal resetting rate which does not vary smoothly, in contrast with the well-known…
Resetting, in which a system is regularly returned to a given state after a fixed or random duration, has become a useful strategy to optimize the search performance of a system. While earlier theoretical frameworks focused on instantaneous…
Recently, a new formalism describing the anomalous diffusion processes, based on the Onsager-Machlup fluctuation theory, has been suggested \cite{Smain, Spub}. We study particles performing this new type of motion, under the action of…
We study the extreme value statistics of a one-dimensional resetting Brownian motion (RBM) till its first passage through the origin starting from the position $x_0$ ($>0$). By deriving the exit probability of RBM in an interval $\left[0, M…
In this Topical Review we consider stochastic processes under resetting, which have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. We begin with the simple example of a diffusive particle whose position is reset randomly in time with a…
First passage time (FPT) theory is often used to estimate timescales in cellular and molecular biology. While the overwhelming majority of studies have focused on the time it takes a given single Brownian searcher to reach a target,…
The timescales of many physical, chemical, and biological processes are determined by first passage times (FPTs) of diffusion. The overwhelming majority of FPT research studies the time it takes a single diffusive searcher to find a target.…
We consider motion of an overdamped Brownian particle subject to stochastic resetting in one dimension. In contrast to the usual setting where the particle is instantaneously reset to a preferred location (say, the origin), here we consider…
We consider Brownian motion under resetting in higher dimensions for the case when the return of the particle to the origin occurs at a constant speed. We investigate the behavior of the probability density function (PDF) and of the…
We study the effects of an intermittent harmonic potential of strength $\mu = \mu_0 \nu$ -- that switches on and off stochastically at a constant rate $\gamma$, on an overdamped Brownian particle with damping coefficient $\nu$. This can be…
We derive the asymptotic first passage time (FPT) distribution for space-dependent variable-order time-fractional diffusion, where the fractional exponent $\alpha(x)$ varies with position. For any sufficiently smooth $\alpha(x)$ on a finite…
We investigate a moving boundary problem for a Brownian particle on the semi-infinite line in which the boundary moves by a distance proportional to the time between successive collisions of the particle and the boundary. Phenomenologically…
We study the first passage time (FPT) problem for biased continuous time random walks. Using the recently formulated framework of fractional Fokker-Planck equations, we obtain the Laplace transform of the FPT density function when the bias…
We study the dynamics of an overdamped Brownian particle subjected to Poissonian stochastic resetting in a nonthermal bath, characterized by a Poisson white noise and a Gaussian noise. Applying the renewal theory we find an exact analytical…
Stochastic processes offer a fundamentally different paradigm of dynamics than deterministic processes, the most prominent example of the latter being Newton's laws of motion. Here, we discuss in a pedagogical manner a simple and…
The kinetics of a variety of transport-controlled processes can be reduced to the problem of determining the mean time needed to arrive at a given location for the first time, the so called mean first passage time (MFPT) problem. The…
