We consider self-propelled particles undergoing run-and-tumble dynamics (as exhibited by E. coli) in one dimension. Building on previous analyses at drift-diffusion level for the one-particle density, we add both interactions and noise,…
We consider front propagation in a reactive Boussinesq system in an infinite vertical strip. We establish nonlinear stability of planar fronts for narrow domains when the Rayleigh number is not too large. Planar fronts are shown to be…
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,…
The irreversible behavior of a highly confined non-Brownian suspension of spherical particles at low Reynolds number in a Newtonian fluid is studied experimentally and numerically. In experiment, the suspension is confined in a thin…
The study of diffusion with preferential returns to places visited in the past has attracted an increased attention in recent years. In these highly non-Markov processes, a standard diffusive particle intermittently resets at a given rate…
We study driven particle systems with excluded volume interactions on a two-lane ladder with periodic boundaries, using Monte Carlo simulation, cluster mean-field theory, and numerical solution of the master equation. Particles in one lane…
We describe the resulting spatiotemporal dynamics when a homogeneous equilibrium loses stability in a spatially extended system. More precisely, we consider reaction-diffusion systems, assuming only that the reaction kinetics undergo a…
For one-dimensional Jump-Drift and Jump-Diffusion processes converging towards some steady state, the large deviations of a long dynamical trajectory are described from two perspectives. Firstly, the joint probability of the empirical…
We consider particles on a one-dimensional lattice whose evolution is governed by nearest-neighbor interactions where particles that have reached size zero are removed from the system. Concentrating on configurations with infinitely many…
We study the large scale behavior of a collection of hard core run and tumble particles on a one dimensional lattice with periodic boundary conditions. Each particle has persistent motion in one direction decided by an associated spin…
Spreading processes on top of active dynamics provide a novel theoretical framework for capturing emerging collective behavior in living systems. I consider run-and-tumble dynamics coupled with coagulation/decoagulation reactions that lead…
The diffusion of finite-size hard-core interacting particles in two- or three-dimensional confined domains is considered in the limit that the confinement dimensions become comparable to the particle's dimensions. The result is a nonlinear…
We study the dynamics of a single inertial run-and-tumble particle on a straight line. The motion of this particle is characterized by two intrinsic time-scales, namely, an inertial and an active time-scale. We show that interplay of these…
We study the shape of the outer envelope of a branching Brownian motion (BBM) in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$. We focus on the extremal particles: those whose norm is within $O(1)$ of the maximal norm amongst the particles alive at time $t$.…
To mimic the complex transport-like collective phenomena in a man-made or natural system, we study an open network junction model of totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with bulk particle attachment and detachment. The stationary…
Stochastic particle--based models are useful tools for describing the collective movement of large crowds of pedestrians in crowded confined environments. Using descriptions based on the simple exclusion process, two populations of…
We simulate a two dimensional model of self-propelled particles confined by a deformable boundary. The particles tend to accumulate near the boundary and the shape of the boundary deforms upon the collisions. We find that there are two…
We study a system of interacting particles in a periodically moving external potential, within the simplest possible description of paradigmatic symmetric exclusion process on a ring. The model describes diffusion of hardcore particles…
We investigate the transport and separation of overdamped particles under the action of a uniform external force in a two-dimensional periodic energy landscape. Exact results are obtained for the deterministic transport in a square lattice…
We discuss the problem of fronts propagating into metastable and unstable states. We examine the time development of the leading edge, discovering a precursor which in the metastable case propagates out ahead of the front at a velocity more…
