We show that the general two-variable Langevin equations with inhomogeneous noise and friction can generate many different forms of power-law distributions. By solving the corresponding stationary Fokker-Planck equation, we can obtain a…
We address the problem of the so-called ``granular gases'', i.e. gases of massive particles in rapid movement undergoing inelastic collisions. We introduce a class of models of driven granular gases for which the stationary state is the…

We investigate the velocity relaxation of a viscous one-dimensional granular gas, that is, one in which neither energy nor momentum is conserved in a collision. Of interest is the distribution of velocities in the gas as it cools, and the…
We find analytical solution of pair of stochastic equations with arbitrary forces and multiplicative L\'evy noises in a steady-state nonequilibrium case. This solution shows that L\'evy flights suppress always a quasi-periodical motion…
We study fluctuating dynamics of a freely movable piston that separates an infinite cylinder into two regions filled with ideal gas particles at the same pressure but different temperatures. To investigate statistical properties of the…
We consider a system of particles subjected to a uniform external force E and undergoing random collisions with "virtual" fixed obstacles, as in the Drude model of conductivity. The system is maintained in a nonequilibrium stationary state…
The Vlasov equation is well known to provide a good description of the dynamics of mean-field systems in the $N \to \infty$ limit. This equation has an infinity of stationary states and the case of {\it homogeneous} states, for which the…
We analyze a specific class of random systems that are driven by a symmetric L\'{e}vy stable noise, where Langevin representation is absent. In view of the L\'{e}vy noise sensitivity to environmental inhomogeneities, the pertinent random…
Sample space reducing (SSR) processes offer a simple analytical way to understand of the origin and ubiquity of power-laws in many path-dependent complex systems. SRR processes show a wide range of applications that range from fragmentation…
We introduce a L\'evy-Lorentz gas in which a light particle is scattered by static point scatterers arranged on a line. We investigate the case where the intervals between scatterers $\{\xi_i \}$ are independent random variables identically…
The standard Levy walk is performed by a particle that moves ballistically between randomly occurring collisions, when the intercollision time is a random variable governed by a power-law distribution. During instantaneous collision events…
Nonthermal velocity distributions with much greater tails than the Maxwellian have been observed for radical atoms in plasmas for a long time. Historically, such velocity distributions have been modeled by a two-temperature Maxwell…
