We establish an invariance principle connecting boundary random walks on $\mathbb N$ with Feller's Brownian motions on $[0,\infty)$. A Feller's Brownian motion is a Feller process on $[0,\infty)$ whose excursions away from the boundary $0$…

We prove a non-standard functional limit theorem for a two dimensional simple random walk on some randomly oriented lattices. This random walk, already known to be transient, has different horizontal and vertical fluctuations leading to…

A random walk scheme, consisting of alternating phases of regular Brownian motion and L\'evy walks, is proposed as a model for run-and-tumble bacterial motion. Within the continuous-time random walk approach we obtain the long-time and…

We introduce a variational theory for processes adapted to the multi-dimensional Brownian motion filtration. The theory provides a differential structure which describes the infinitesimal evolution of Wiener functionals at very small…

Consider $Z^f_t(u)=\int_0^{tu}f(N_s) ds$, $t>0$, $u\in[0,1]$, where $N=(N_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ is a normal process and $f$ is a measurable real-valued function satisfying $Ef(N_0)^2<\infty$ and $Ef(N_0)=0$. If the dependence is sufficiently…

We consider a non-Markovian discrete-time random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ with unbounded memory called the elephant random walk (ERW). We prove a strong invariance principle for the ERW. More specifically, we prove that, under a suitable…

We derive an anomalous, sub-diffusive scaling limit for a one-dimensional version of the Mott random walk. The limiting process can be viewed heuristically as a one-dimensional diffusion with an absolutely continuous speed measure and a…

Consider a family of random ordered graph trees $(T_n)_{n\geq 1}$, where $T_n$ has $n$ vertices. It has previously been established that if the associated search-depth processes converge to the normalised Brownian excursion when rescaled…

We consider random walks with independent but not necessarily identical distributed increments. Assuming that the increments satisfy the well-known Lindeberg condition, we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of first-passage times over…

We investigate the construction of diffusions consisting of infinitely numerous Brownian particles moving in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and interacting via logarithmic functions (two-dimensional Coulomb potentials). These potentials are very strong and…

This paper studies the intermediate time behaviour of a small random perturbation of a periodic cellular flow. Our main result shows that on time scales shorter than the diffusive time scale, the limiting behaviour of trajectories that…

Using random walk simulations we explore diffusive transport through monodisperse sphere packings over a range of packing fractions, $\phi$, in the vicinity of the jamming transition at $\phi_{c}$. Various diffusion properties are computed…

We construct admissible circulant Laplacian matrix functions as generators for strictly increasing random walks on the integer line. These Laplacian matrix functions refer to a certain class of Bernstein functions. The approach has…

A conditioned stochastic process can display a very different behavior from the unconditioned process. In particular, a conditioned process can exhibit non-Gaussian fluctuations even if the unconditioned process is Gaussian. In this work,…

We show that particle transport in a uniform, quantum multi-baker map, is generically ballistic in the long time limit, for any fixed value of Planck's constant. However, for fixed times, the semi-classical limit leads to diffusion. Random…

Motion of particles in many systems exhibits a mixture between periods of random diffusive like events and ballistic like motion. In many cases, such systems exhibit strong anomalous diffusion, where low order moments $< |x(t)|^q >$ with…

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.…

We consider certain noncolliding interacting particle systems driven by Brownian noise. A key example is drifted Brownian motions conditioned not to intersect and related models of eigenvalues of Hermitian random matrices. We establish…

We consider the Bouchaud trap model on the integers in the case that the trap distribution has a slowly varying tail at infinity. Our main result is a functional limit theorem for the model under the annealed law, analogous to the…
