This article introduces a novel construction of the two-dimensional fractional Brownian motion (2D fBm) with dependent components. Unlike similar models discussed in the literature, our approach uniquely accommodates the full range of model…

Brownian ratchet has emerged as a promising tool for understanding motion mechanism of molecules and proteins, and dynamically manipulating particles in non-equilibrium thermodynamics state. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a…

We obtain the uniform convergence rate for the Gaussian fluctuation of the radial part of the Brownian motion on a hyperbolic space. We also show that this result is sharp if the dimension of the hyperbolic space is two or general odd. Our…

We propose new equations of motion under the theory of the Brownian motion to connect the states of quantum, diffusion, soliton, and periodic localization. The new equations are nothing but the classical equations of motion with two…

Brownian motors are devices which "rectify" Brownian motion, i.e. they can generate a current of particles out of unbiased fluctuations. Brownian motors are important for the understanding of molecular motors, and are also promising for the…

Stiff forces, which bind objects together or otherwise confine motion, are found widely in soft-matter systems - colloids with short range attractions, ligand-receptor contacts, particles in optical traps, fibres that resist stretching,…

We describe a two-dimensional model for active particles whose self-propulsion speed is not fixed, but varies in time, and whose motion is subject to both translational and rotational diffusion. In the conventional treatment of active…

It has been conjectured since the work of Lalley and Sellke (1987) that the branching Brownian motion seen from its tip (e.g. from its rightmost particle) converges to an invariant point process. Very recently, it emerged that this can be…

Stochastic integration w.r.t. fractional Brownian motion (fBm) has raised strong interest in recent years, motivated in particular by applications in finance and Internet traffic modelling. Since fBm is not a semi-martingale, stochastic…
