We consider the motion of a discrete random surface interacting by exclusion with a random wall. The heights of the wall at the sites of $\Z^d$ are i.i.d.\ random variables. Fixed the wall configuration, the dynamics is given by the serial…
We solve an adaptive search model where a random walker or L\'evy flight stochastically resets to previously visited sites on a $d$-dimensional lattice containing one trapping site. Due to reinforcement, a phase transition occurs when the…
In this paper, we introduce random walks with absorbing states on simplicial complexes. Given a simplicial complex of dimension $d$, a random walk with an absorbing state is defined which relates to the spectrum of the $k$-dimensional…
We consider branching random walks in $d$-dimensional integer lattice with time-space i.i.d. offspring distributions. This model is known to exhibit a phase transition: If $d \ge 3$ and the environment is "not too random", then, the total…
We consider a generalization of the classical pinning problem for integer-valued random walks conditioned to stay non-negative. More specifically, we take pinning potentials of the form $\sum_{j\geq 0}\epsilon_j N_j$, where $N_j$ is the…
Diffusion in a one dimensional random force field leads to interesting localisation effects, which we study using the equivalence with a directed walk model with traps. We show that although the average dispersion of positions $\bar{< x^2 >…
We study a generalization of the standard trapping problem of random walk theory in which particles move subdiffusively on a one-dimensional lattice. We consider the cases in which the lattice is filled with a one-sided and a two-sided…
A global picture of a random particle movement is given by the convex hull of the visited points. We obtained numerically the probability distributions of the volume and surface of the convex hulls of a selection of three types of…
Semi-flexible manifolds such as fluid membranes or semi-flexible polymers undergo delocalization transitions if they are subject to attractive interactions. We study manifolds with short-ranged interactions by field-theoretic methods based…
We study continuous-time (variable speed) random walks in random environments on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\ge2$, where, at time $t$, the walk at $x$ jumps across edge $(x,y)$ at time-dependent rate $a_t(x,y)$. The rates, which we assume stationary…
The one-dimensional random trap model with a power-law distribution of mean sojourn times exhibits a phenomenon of dynamical localization in the case where diffusion is anomalous: The probability to find two independent walkers at the same…
We present an analytical approach to study simple symmetric random walks (RWs) on a crossing geometry consisting of a plane square lattice crossed by $n_l$ number of lines that all meet each other at a single point (the origin) on the…
We demonstrate the existence of transient two-dimensional surfaces where a random-walking particle escapes to infinity in contrast to localization in standard flat 2D space. We first prove that any rotationally symmetric 2D membrane…
We study the evolution of a random walker on a conservative dynamic random environment composed of independent particles performing simple symmetric random walks, generalizing results of [16] to higher dimensions and more general transition…

In this work we investigate the dynamics of random walk processes on scale-free networks in a short to moderate time scale. We perform extensive simulations for the calculation of the mean squared displacement, the network coverage and the…
We study Markov chains on a lattice in a codimension-one stratified independent random environment, exploiting results established in [2]. First of all the random walk is transient in dimension at least three. Focusing on dimension two,…

We focus on two models of nearest-neighbour random walks on d-dimensional regular hyper-cubic lattices that are usually assumed to be identical - the discrete-time Polya walk, in which the walker steps at each integer moment of time, and…
We analyze a (1+1)-dimension directed random walk model of a polymer dipped in a medium constituted by two immiscible solvents separated by a flat interface. The polymer chain is heterogeneous in the sense that a single monomer may…
