Stochastic resetting and applications

MR Evans, SN Majumdar… - Journal of Physics A …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
In this topical review we consider stochastic processes under resetting, which have attracted
a lot of attention in recent years. We begin with the simple example of a diffusive particle …

Stochastic models of intracellular transport

PC Bressloff, JM Newby - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2013 - APS
The interior of a living cell is a crowded, heterogenuous, fluctuating environment. Hence, a
major challenge in modeling intracellular transport is to analyze stochastic processes within …

[書籍][B] Stochastic processes in cell biology

PC Bressloff - 2014 - Springer
One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
components of a living cell operate in a highly noisy environment. What are the specific …

Intermittent search strategies

O Bénichou, C Loverdo, M Moreau, R Voituriez - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2011 - APS
This review examines intermittent target search strategies, which combine phases of slow
motion, allowing the searcher to detect the target, and phases of fast motion during which …

First order transition for the optimal search time of Lévy flights with resetting

L Kusmierz, SN Majumdar, S Sabhapandit, G Schehr - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We study analytically an intermittent search process in one dimension. There is an immobile
target at the origin and a searcher undergoes a discrete time jump process starting at x 0≥ …

A toolbox for determining subdiffusive mechanisms

Y Meroz, IM Sokolov - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
Subdiffusive processes have become a field of great interest in the last decades, due to
amounting experimental evidence of subdiffusive behavior in complex systems, and …

Diffusion with optimal resetting

MR Evans, SN Majumdar - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the mean time to absorption by an absorbing target of a diffusive particle with
the addition of a process whereby the particle is reset to its initial position with rate r. We …

First-passage times in complex scale-invariant media

S Condamin, O Bénichou, V Tejedor, R Voituriez… - Nature, 2007 - nature.com
How long does it take a random walker to reach a given target point? This quantity, known
as a first-passage time (FPT), has led to a growing number of theoretical investigations over …

How a protein searches for its site on DNA: the mechanism of facilitated diffusion

L Mirny, M Slutsky, Z Wunderlich, A Tafvizi… - Journal of Physics A …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
A number of vital biological processes rely on fast and precise recognition of a specific DNA
sequence (site) by a protein. How can a protein find its site on a long DNA molecule among …

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 …
