Many problems in physics, biology, and economics depend upon the duration of time required for a diffusing particle to cross a boundary. As such, calculations of the distribution of first passage time, and in particular the mean first…

A finite difference method is constructed to solve singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems posed on smooth domains. Constraints are imposed on the data so that only regular exponential boundary layers appear in the solution. A…

In this paper we develop a probabilistic model of single-particle diffusion in 1D multi-layered media by constructing a multi-layered version of so-called snapping out Brownian motion (BM). The latter sews together successive rounds of…

Diffusion on a T fractal lattice under the influence of topological biasing fields is studied by finite size scaling methods. This allows to avoid proliferation and singularities which would arise in a renormalization group approach on…

We study reaction-diffusion particle systems with several interaction mechanisms. As the number of particles tends to infinity, the system admits a mean-field limit describing the bulk behaviour. We focus on determining the propagation…

Continuous time random walks are non-Markovian stochastic processes, which are only partly characterized by single-time probability distributions. We derive a closed evolution equation for joint two-point probability density functions of a…

Evaluating the completion time of a random algorithm or a running stochastic process is a valuable tip not only from a purely theoretical, but also pragmatic point of view. In the formal sense, this kind of a task is specified in terms of…
