We consider Brownian motions with one-sided collisions, meaning that each particle is reflected at its right neighbour. For a finite number of particles a Sch\"{u}tz-type formula is derived for the transition probability. We investigate an…

An analysis is presented of a Brownian particle moving on the half-line, subject to a restoring force proportional to its displacement and an absorbing boundary at the origin. When the initial displacement is large, the central moments of…

We study a generalization of the Brownian bridge as a stochastic process that models the position and velocity of inertial particles between the two end-points of a time interval. The particles experience random acceleration and are assumed…

Incorporating boundary conditions into stochastic models of passive or active particle motion is usually implemented at the level of the associated forward or backward Kolmogorov equation, whose solution determines the probability…

We study the mixing properties of a Brownian motion whose movements are hindered by semipermeable barriers. Our setting assumes that the process takes values in a smooth planar domain and that the barriers are one-dimensional closed curves.…

Consider n non-intersecting Brownian motions on $\mathbb{R}$, depending on time $t \in [0,1]$, with $m_i$ particles forced to leave from $a_i$ at time $t=0$, $1\leq i\leq q$, and $n_j$ particles forced to end up at $b_j$ at time $t=1$,…

Although the dynamics of colloids in the vicinity of a solid interface has been widely characterized in the past, experimental studies of Brownian diffusion close to an air-water interface are rare and limited to particle-interface gap…
