Discrete space-time resetting model: Application to first-passage and transmission statistics

D Das, L Giuggioli - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the dynamics of lattice random walks with resetting. The walker moving
randomly on a lattice of arbitrary dimensions resets at every time step to a given site with a …

PC Bressloff - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Diffusion through semipermeable interfaces has a wide range of applications, ranging from
molecular transport through biological membranes to reverse osmosis for water purification …

Exact spatiotemporal dynamics of lattice random walks in hexagonal and honeycomb domains

D Marris, S Sarvaharman, L Giuggioli - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
A variety of transport processes in natural and man-made systems are intrinsically random.
To model their stochasticity, lattice random walks have been employed for a long time …

Subdiffusion in the presence of reactive boundaries: a generalized Feynman–Kac approach

T Kay, L Giuggioli - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2023 - Springer
We derive, through subordination techniques, a generalized Feynman–Kac equation in the
form of a time fractional Schrödinger equation. We relate such equation to a functional which …

Extreme value statistics and Arcsine laws of Brownian motion in the presence of a permeable barrier

T Kay, L Giuggioli - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Arcsine laws of Brownian motion are a collection of results describing three
different statistical quantities of one-dimensional Brownian motion: the time at which the …

Controlling Uncertainty of Empirical First-Passage Times in the Small-Sample Regime

R Bebon, A Godec - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We derive general bounds on the probability that the empirical first-passage time τ n≡∑ i=
1 n τ i/n of a reversible ergodic Markov process inferred from a sample of n independent …

Dynamics of lattice random walk within regions composed of different media and interfaces

D Das, L Giuggioli - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the lattice random walk dynamics in a heterogeneous space of two media
separated by an interface and having different diffusivity and bias. Depending on the …

Renewal equations for single-particle diffusion in multilayered media

PC Bressloff - SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2023 - SIAM
Diffusion in heterogeneous media partitioned by semipermeable interfaces has a wide
range of applications in the physical and life sciences, ranging from thermal conduction in …

Misconceptions about quantifying animal encounter and interaction processes

D Das, VM Kenkre, R Nathan… - Frontiers in Ecology and …, 2023 - frontiersin.org
The ability to quantify when and where animals interact is key to the understanding of a
plethora of ecological processes, from the structure of social communities and predator-prey …
