The features for the unsteady process of thermal equilibration ("the fast motions") in a one-dimensional harmonic crystal lying in a viscous environment (e.g., a gas) are under investigation. It is assumed that initially the displacements…

We analyze predator-prey dynamics in one dimension in which a Brownian predator adopts a chasing strategy that consists in stochastically resetting its current position to locations previously visited by a diffusive prey. We study three…

Partial resetting, whereby a state variable $x(t)$ is reset at random times to a value $a x (t)$, $0\leq a \leq 1$, generalizes conventional resetting by introducing the resetting strength $a$ as a parameter. Partial resetting generates a…

In this paper we consider a random search process with stochastic resetting and a partially accessible target $\calU$. That is, when the searcher finds the target by attaching to its surface $\partial \calU$ it does not have immediate…
