The noise-enhanced trapping is a surprising phenomenon that has already been studied in chaotic scattering problems where the noise affects the physical variables but not the parameters of the system. Following this research, in this work…

We consider the thermally activated escape of an overdamped Brownian particle over a potential barrier in the presence of periodic driving. A time-dependent path-integral formalism is developed which allows us to derive asymptotically exact…

We consider an overdamped particle with a general physical mechanism that creates noisy active movement (e.g., a run-and-tumble particle or active Brownian particle etc.), that is confined by an external potential. Focusing on the limit in…

Motivated by the experiments on DNA under torsion, we consider the problem of pulling a polymer out of a potential well by a force applied to one of its ends. If the force is less than a critical value, then the process is activated and has…

We consider a system-reservoir model where the reservoir is modulated by an external noise. Both the internal noise of the reservoir and the external noise are stationary, Gaussian and are characterized by arbitrary decaying correlation…

We present a study of the noise driven escape of an overdamped Brownian particle moving in a cubic potential profile with a metastable state. We analyze the role of the initial conditions of the particle on the enhancement of the average…

Noise induced jumping between meta-stable states in a potential depends on the structure of the noise. For an $\alpha$-stable noise, jumping triggered by single extreme events contributes to the transition probability. This is also called…
