Expanding media are typical in many different fields, e.g. in Biology and Cosmology. In general, a medium expansion (contraction) brings about dramatic changes in the behavior of diffusive transport properties. Here, we focus on such…

Multiple scattering of light by resonant vapor is characterized by Levy-type superdiffusion with a step size distribution $P(x) \propto 1/x^{1+{\alpha}}$, with $0 < {\alpha} < 2$. The Levy parameter ${\alpha}$ was measured from $P(x)$,…

By using lower bound conditions of the L\'evy measure w.r.t. a nice reference measure, the coupling and strong Feller properties are investigated for the Markov semigroup associated with a class of linear SDEs driven by (non-cylindrical)…

L\'evy walk process is one of the most effective models to describe superdiffusion, which underlies some important movement patterns and has been widely observed in the micro and macro dynamics. From the perspective of random walk theory,…

We investigate statistics of lead changes of the maxima of two discrete-time random walks in one dimension. We show that the average number of lead changes grows as $\pi^{-1}\ln(t)$ in the long-time limit. We present theoretical and…

We consider a generalization of a one-dimensional stochastic process known in the physical literature as L\'evy-Lorentz gas. The process describes the motion of a particle on the real line in the presence of a random array of marked points,…

Comb geometry, constituted of a backbone and fingers, is one of the most simple paradigm of a two dimensional structure, where anomalous diffusion can be realized in the framework of Markov processes. However, the intrinsic properties of…

The non-equilibrium random-field Ising model is well studied, yet there are outstanding questions. In two dimensions, power law scaling approaches fail and the critical disorder is difficult to pin down. Additionally, the presence of…
