From first-passage times of random walks in confinement to geometry-controlled kinetics
O Bénichou, R Voituriez - Physics Reports, 2014 - Elsevier
We present a general theory which allows one to accurately evaluate the mean first-passage
time (FPT) for regular random walks in bounded domains, and its extensions to related first …

Universal proximity effect in target search kinetics in the few-encounter limit
When does a diffusing particle reach its target for the first time? This first-passage time (FPT)
problem is central to the kinetics of molecular reactions in chemistry and molecular biology …

Anomalous diffusion and nonergodicity for heterogeneous diffusion processes with fractional Gaussian noise
Heterogeneous diffusion processes (HDPs) feature a space-dependent diffusivity of the form
D (x)= D 0| x| α. Such processes yield anomalous diffusion and weak ergodicity breaking …

Guided nuclear exploration increases CTCF target search efficiency
The enormous size of mammalian genomes means that for a DNA-binding protein the
number of nonspecific, off-target sites vastly exceeds the number of specific, cognate sites …

First passage and first hitting times of Lévy flights and Lévy walks
VV Palyulin, G Blackburn, MA Lomholt… - New Journal of …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
For both Lévy flight and Lévy walk search processes we analyse the full distribution of first-
passage and first-hitting (or first-arrival) times. These are, respectively, the times when the …
