We consider the simple random walk in i.i.d. nonnegative potentials on the $d$-dimensional cubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ ($d \geq 1$). In this model, the so-called Lyapunov exponent describes the cost of traveling for the simple random walk…
We analyse mobile-immobile transport of particles that switch between the mobile and immobile phases with finite rates. Despite this seemingly simple assumption of Poissonian switching we unveil a rich transport dynamics including…
We study sporadic randomness by means of a non-extensive form of Lyapunov coefficient. We recover from a different perspective the same conclusion as that of an earlier work, namely, that the ordinary Pesin theorem applies (P.Gaspard and…
We study a continuous matrix-valued Anderson-type model. Both leading Lyapunov exponents of this model are proved to be positive and distinct for all ernergies in $(2,+\infty)$ except those in a discrete set, which leads to absence of…
Consider an infinite system \[\partial_tu_t(x)=(\mathscr{L}u_t)(x)+ \sigma\bigl(u_t(x)\bigr)\partial_tB_t(x)\] of interacting It\^{o} diffusions, started at a nonnegative deterministic bounded initial profile. We study local and global…

We consider the random walk on a simple point process on $\Bbb{R}^d$, $d\geq2$, whose jump rates decay exponentially in the $\alpha$-power of jump length. The case $\alpha =1$ corresponds to the phonon-induced variable-range hopping in…
Motivated by various recent experimental findings, we propose a dynamical model of intermittently self-propelled particles: active particles that recurrently switch between two modes of motion, namely an active run-state and a turn state,…
We consider the random walk of a particle in a two-dimensional self-affine random potential of Hurst exponent $H=1/2$ in the presence of an external force $F$. We present numerical results on the statistics of first-passage times that…
A catalytic branching random walk on a multidimensional lattice, with arbitrary finite number of catalysts, is studied in supercritical regime. The dynamics of spatial spread of the particles population is examined, upon normalization. The…
Consider the one-dimensional elliptic operator given by \begin{equation*} (L_\epsilon f)(x) \;=\; b (x) \, f'(x) \,+\, \epsilon\, a (x)\, f''(x) \;, \end{equation*} where the drift $b\colon R \to R$ and the diffusion coefficient $a\colon R…
The nonlinear $\sigma$-model for disordered interacting electrons is studied in spatial dimensions $d>4$. The critical behavior at the metal-insulator transition is determined exactly, and found to be that of a standard…
We study the non-stationary Anderson parabolic problem on the lattice $Z^d$, i.e., the equation \begin{equation}\label{andersonmodel} \begin{aligned} \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} &=\varkappa \mathcal{A}u(t,x)+\xi_{t}(x)u(t,x) u(0,x)…
The main aim of this comment is to emphasize that the conditional Lyapunov exponents play an important role in distinguishing between intermittent and persistent synchronization, when the analytic criteria for asymptotic stability are not…
We study discrete nonlinear parabolic stochastic heat equations of the form, $u_{n+1}(x)-u_n(x)=(\mathcal {L}u_n)(x)+\sigma(u_n(x))\xi_n(x)$, for $n\in {\mathbf{Z}}_+$ and $x\in {\mathbf{Z}}^d$, where $\boldsymbol \xi:=\{\xi_n(x)\}_{n\ge…
