Super-diffusion, characterized by a spreading rate $t^{1/\alpha}$ of the probability density function $p(x,t) = t^{-1/\alpha} p \left( t^{-1/\alpha} x , 1 \right)$, where $t$ is time, may be modeled by space-fractional diffusion equations…

In this paper, we consider a homogeneous Markov process \xi(t;\omega) on an ultrametric space Q_p, with distribution density f(x,t), x in Q_p, t in R_+, satisfying the ultrametric diffusion equation df(x,t)/dt =-Df(x,t). We construct and…
Consider a network embedded in the 2D plane, where a particle diffuses along the edges of the network. It is clear that over short length scales a particle moves along a single edge and thus undergoes one-dimensional diffusion. However, on…
We show that the distribution of times for a diffusing particle to first hit an absorber is \emph{independent} of the direction of an external flow field, when we condition on the event that the particle reaches the target for flow away…
The first time a searcher finds a target is called a first passage time (FPT). In many physical, chemical, and biological processes, the searcher is "mortal," which means that the searcher might become inactivated (degrade, die, etc.)…
The first-passage time is proposed as an independent thermodynamic parameter of the statistical distribution that generalizes the Gibbs distribution. The theory does not include the determination of the first passage statistics itself. A…
The first-passage time (FPT), defined as the time a random walker takes to reach a target point in a confining domain, is a key quantity in the theory of stochastic processes. Its importance comes from its crucial role to quantify the…
We investigate the large deviation probabilities of first passage times (FPT) of discrete-time supercritical non-lattice branching random walks (BRWs) in $\mathbb{R}^d$ where $d\geq 1$. The FPT refers to the first time the BRW enters a ball…
We study the time asymptotic propagation of solutions to the reaction-diffusion cooperative systems with fractional diffusion. We prove that the propagation speed is exponential in time, and we find the precise exponent of propagation. This…
Anomalous subdiffusion characterizes transport in diverse physical systems and is especially prevalent inside biological cells. In cell biology, the prevailing model for chemical activation rates has recently changed from the first passage…
The first passage time (FPT) is a generic measure that quantifies when a random quantity reaches a specific state. We consider the FTP distribution in nonlinear stochastic biochemical networks, where obtaining exact solutions of the…

We investigate the long-time behavior of the survival probability of a tagged particle in a single-file diffusion in a finite interval. The boundary conditions are of two types: 1) one boundary is absorbing the second is reflecting, 2) both…
The statistics of the slowest first-passage time among a large population of $N$ searchers is crucial for determining the completion time of many stochastic processes. Classical extreme-value theory predicts that for diffusing particles in…
We study the first passage times of discrete-time branching random walks in ${\mathbb R}^d$ where $d\geq 1$. Here, the genealogy of the particles follows a supercritical Galton-Watson process. We provide asymptotics of the first passage…
We consider first-passage percolation (FPP) on the triangular lattice with vertex weights $(t_v)$ whose common distribution function $F$ satisfies $F(0)=1/2$. This is known as the critical case of FPP because large (critical) zero-weight…
