Run-and-tumble particle in one-dimensional confining potentials: Steady-state, relaxation, and first-passage properties
We study the dynamics of a one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle subjected to confining
potentials of the type V (x)= α| x| p, with p> 0. The noise that drives the particle dynamics is …
