We develop an efficient sampling method by simulating Langevin dynamics with an artificial force rather than a natural force by using the gradient of the potential energy. The standard technique for sampling following the predetermined…
Activity significantly enhances the escape rate of a Brownian particle over a potential barrier. Whereas constant activity has been extensively studied in the past, little is known about the effect of time-dependent activity on the escape…
Rare events in the first-passage distributions of jump processes are capable of triggering anomalous reactions or series of events. Estimating their probability is particularly important when the jump probabilities have broad-tailed…
These notes are based on the lectures that I gave (virtually) at the Bruneck Summer School in 2021 on first-passage processes and some applications of the basic theory. I begin by defining what is a first-passage process and presenting the…
We investigate the short-time dynamics of a delta-function potential barrier on an initially confined wave-packet. There are mainly two conclusions: A) At short times the probability density of the first particles that passed through the…
In this paper, the recurrent events that can occur more than one over the follow-up time have been modeled by phase-type distributions. We use the finite-state continuous-time Markov process with multi states for patients with recurrent…
The study of relational events, which are interactions occurring between actors over time, has gained significant traction recently. Traditional relational event models typically focus on modelling the occurrence and sequence of events…
We consider the mean first passage time of a random walker moving in a potential landscape on a finite interval, starting and end points being at different potentials. From analytical calculations and Monte Carlo simulations we demonstrate…

We show that the reaction-diffusion process 3A -> 4A, 3A -> 2A exhibits a different type of continuous phase transition from an active into an absorbing phase. Because of the upper critical dimension d_c = 4/3 we expect the phase transition…
We investigate statistics of dynamical exchange events in coarse--grained models of supercooled liquids in spatial dimensions $d=1$, 2, and 3. The models, based upon the concept of dynamical facilitation, capture generic features of…
I give an overview of rare event simulation techniques to generate dynamical pathways across high free energy barriers. The methods on which I will concentrate are the reactive flux approach, transition path sampling, (replica-exchange)…
We use a one-dimensional two layer model with a semi-permeable membrane to study the diffusion of a therapeutic drug delivered from a drug-eluting stent (DES). The rate of drug transfer from the stent coating to the arterial wall is…
Fission transients describe the fission rate as it evolves towards the quasistationary value given by Kramers' formula. The nature of fission transients is dependent on the assumed initial distribution of the compound nuclei along the…
The dynamics near the top of a potential barrier is studied in the temperature region where quantum effects become important. The time evolution of the density matrix of a system that deviates initially from equilibrium in the vicinity of…
Spatiotemporal complexity is induced in a two dimensional nonlinear disordered lattice through the modulational instability of an initially weakly perturbed excitation. In the course of evolution we observe the formation of transient as…
In some settings involving recurrent events, the occurrence of one event may produce a temporary increase in the event intensity; we refer to this phenomenon as a transient carryover effect. This paper provides models and tests for…
For both Levy flight and Levy walk search processes we analyse the full distribution of first-passage and first-hitting (or first-arrival) times. These are, respectively, the times when the particle moves across a point at some given…
