We consider a gas of independent Brownian particles on a bounded interval in contact with two particle reservoirs at the endpoints. Due to the Brownian nature of the particles, infinitely many particles enter and leave the system in each…
The escape of particles through a narrow absorbing gate in confined domains is a abundant phenomenon in various systems in physics, chemistry and molecular biophysics. We consider the narrow escape problem in a cellular flow when the two…
We investigate theoretically and experimentally the first passage-time properties of a spherical Brownian particle that is harmonically trapped at thermal equilibrium in a fluid at constant temperature. By using the overdamped version of…
Elastic confinements are an important component of many biological systems and dictate the transport properties of suspended particles under flow. In this chapter, we review the Brownian motion of a particle moving in the vicinity of a…
A heat exchanger can be modeled as a closed domain containing an incompressible fluid. The moving fluid has a temperature distribution obeying the advection-diffusion equation, with zero temperature boundary conditions at the walls.…
We propose an efficient numerical approach to simulate the boundary local time of reflected Brownian motion, as well as the time and position of the associated reaction event on a smooth boundary of a Euclidean domain. This approach…
A recent experimental study reports on measuring the temporal duration and the spatial extent of failed attempts to cross an activation barrier (i.e., "loops") for a folding transition in a single molecule and for a Brownian particle…
Although the dynamics of colloids in the vicinity of a solid interface has been widely characterized in the past, experimental studies of Brownian diffusion close to an air-water interface are rare and limited to particle-interface gap…
The narrow escape problem deals with the calculation of the mean escape time (MET) of a Brownian particle from a bounded domain through a small hole on the domain's boundary. Here we develop a formalism that allows us to evaluate the…
We derive an analytical expression for the propagator and the transition path time distribution of a two-dimensional active Brownian particle crossing a parabolic barrier with absorbing boundary conditions at both sides. By taking those of…
Cells have evolved efficient strategies to probe their surroundings and navigate through complex environments. From metastatic spread in the body to swimming cells in porous materials, escape through narrow constrictions - a key component…
Noise induced Brownian dynamics in underdamped medium is studied numerically to understand the firing time of excitable systems. By considering Brownian particles that move in underdamped medium, we study how the first arrival time behaves…
In this work, we report a new method to simulate active Brownian particles (ABPs) in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Immersed in a fluid, each ABP consists of a head particle and a spherical phantom region of fluid where the flagellum…
The stochastic trajectories of molecules in living cells, as well as the dynamics in many other complex systems, often exhibit memory in their path over long periods of time. In addition, these systems can show dynamic heterogeneities due…
The mean exit time function defined on the $\delta$-tube around any equator $\mathbb{S}^{n-1} \subseteq \mathbb{S}^{n}$ of the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n}$, ($0<\delta<\pi/2$), goes to infinity with the dimension, so that when we consider a…
Molecular Communication (MC) architectures suffer from molecular build-up in the channel if they do not have appropriate reuptake mechanisms. The molecular build-up either leads to intersymbol interference (ISI) or reduces the transmission…
The paper addresses Brownian motion in the logarithmic potential with time-dependent strength, $U(x,t) = g(t) \log(x)$, subject to the absorbing boundary at the origin of coordinates. Such model can represent kinetics of…
We consider a particle diffusing along the links of a general graph possessing some absorbing vertices. The particle, with a spatially-dependent diffusion constant D(x) is subjected to a drift U(x) that is defined in every point of each…
We consider Brownian motion in a circular disk $\Omega$, whose boundary $\p\Omega$ is reflecting, except for a small arc, $\p\Omega_a$, which is absorbing. As $\epsilon=|\partial \Omega_a|/|\partial \Omega|$ decreases to zero the mean time…
Activity significantly enhances the escape rate of a Brownian particle over a potential barrier. Whereas constant activity has been extensively studied in the past, little is known about the effect of time-dependent activity on the escape…
