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…
