Encounter-based models of diffusion provide a probabilistic framework for analyzing the effects of a partially absorbing reactive surface, in which the probability of absorption depends upon the amount of surface-particle contact time.…

Over a century ago, Einstein formulated a precise mathematical model for describing Brownian motion. While this model adequately explains the diffusion of micron-sized particles in fluids, its limitations become apparent when applied to…

We study a Brownian particle diffusing under a time-modulated stochastic resetting mechanism to a fixed position. The rate of resetting r(t) is a function of the time t since the last reset event. We derive a sufficient condition on r(t)…

Density-dependent diffusion is a widespread phenomenon in nature. We have examined the density-dependent diffusion behavior of some biological processes such as tumor growth and invasion [23]. Here, we extend our previous work by developing…

We consider a quantum particle coupled (with strength $\la$) to a spatial array of independent non-interacting reservoirs in thermal states (heat baths). Under the assumption that the reservoir correlations decay exponentially in time, we…

A self-propelled artificial microswimmer is often modeled as a ballistic Brownian particle moving with constant speed aligned along one of its axis, but changing direction due to random collisions with the environment. Similarly to thermal…

Diffusion is a fundamental physical phenomenon with critical applications in fields such as metallurgy, cell biology, and population dynamics. While standard diffusion is well-understood, anomalous diffusion often requires complex non-local…
