During a random search, resetting the searcher's position from time to time to the starting point often reduces the mean completion time of the process. Although many different resetting models have been studied over the past ten years,…

We analyze a one-dimensional intermittent random walk on an unbounded domain in the presence of stochastic resetting. In this process, the walker alternates between local intensive search, diffusion, and rapid ballistic relocations in which…

Stochastic processes that are randomly reset to an initial condition serve as a showcase to investigate non-equilibrium steady states. However, all existing results have been restricted to the special case of memoryless resetting protocols.…

We determine the full distribution and moments of the first passage time for a wide class of stochastic search processes in the limit of frequent stochastic resetting. Our results apply to any system whose short-time behavior of the search…

Many biological processes, from cell division to viral lysis, are triggered when an internal stochastic variable reaches a threshold. Here we introduce Branching under First-Passage Resetting, a general framework in which replication events…

We combine the processes of resetting and first-passage to define \emph{first-passage resetting}, where the resetting of a random walk to a fixed position is triggered by a first-passage event of the walk itself. In an infinite domain,…

By periodically returning a search process to a known or random state, random resetting possesses the potential to unveil new trajectories, sidestep potential obstacles, and consequently enhance the efficiency of locating desired targets.…

In this paper, we analyze the mean first passage time (MFPT) for a single Brownian particle to find a stochastically-gated target under the additional condition that the position of the particle is reset to a fixed position $\x_r$ at a rate…

Stochastic resetting has attracted significant attention in recent years due to its wide-ranging applications across physics, biology, and search processes. In most existing studies, however, resetting events are governed by an external…

We consider the mean first passage time (MFPT) for a diffusive particle in a potential landscape with the extra condition that the particle is reset to its original position with some rate r. We study non-smooth and non-convex potentials…

Stochastic restart may drastically reduce the expected run time of a computer algorithm, expedite the completion of a complex search process, or increase the turnover rate of an enzymatic reaction. These diverse first-passage-time (FPT)…

We introduce a new class of first passage time optimization driven by threshold resetting, inspired by many natural processes where crossing a critical limit triggers failure, degradation or transition. In here, search agents are…

First passage in a stochastic process may be influenced by the presence of an external confining potential, as well as "stochastic resetting" in which the process is repeatedly reset back to its initial position. Here we study the interplay…

In this work, we study the dynamics of multiple random walkers on networks subject to a simultaneous resetting protocol, whereby all walkers are synchronously returned to their respective initial nodes. For this collective Markovian…

For many stochastic dynamic systems, the Mean First Passage Time (MFPT) is a useful concept, which gives expected time before a state of interest. This work is an extension of MFPT in several ways. (1) We show that for some systems the…
