Universal Survival Probability for a -Dimensional Run-and-Tumble Particle

F Mori, P Le Doussal, SN Majumdar, G Schehr - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
We consider an active run-and-tumble particle (RTP) in d dimensions and compute exactly
the probability S (t) that the x component of the position of the RTP does not change sign up …

Optimal active particle navigation meets machine learning (a)

M Nasiri, H Löwen, B Liebchen - Europhysics Letters, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The question of how “smart” active agents, like insects, microorganisms, or future colloidal
robots need to steer to optimally reach or discover a target, such as an odor source, food, or …

Universal properties of a run-and-tumble particle in arbitrary dimension

F Mori, P Le Doussal, SN Majumdar, G Schehr - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
We consider an active run-and-tumble particle (RTP) in d dimensions, starting from the
origin and evolving over a time interval [0, t]. We examine three different models for the …

Escape kinetics of self-propelled particles from a circular cavity

T Debnath, P Chaudhury, T Mukherjee… - The Journal of …, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
We numerically investigate the mean exit time of an inertial active Brownian particle from a
circular cavity with single or multiple exit windows. Our simulation results witness distinct …

Active Brownian particles and run-and-tumble particles separate inside a maze

M Khatami, K Wolff, O Pohl, MR Ejtehadi, H Stark - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com

Flagellar number governs bacterial spreading and transport efficiency

J Najafi, MR Shaebani, T John, F Altegoer, G Bange… - Science …, 2018 - science.org
Peritrichous bacteria synchronize and bundle their flagella to actively swim, while disruption
of the bundle leads to a slow motility phase with a weak propulsion. It is still not known …

Searching for a partially absorbing target by a run-and-tumble particle in a confined space

E Jeon, BG Go, YW Kim - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
A random search of a partially absorbing target by a run-and-tumble particle in a confined
one-dimensional space is investigated. We analytically obtain the mean searching time …

Throughout evolution, bacteria and other microorganisms have learned efficient foraging
strategies that exploit characteristic properties of their unknown environment. While much …

Chiral run-and-tumble walker: Transport and optimizing search

R Mallikarjun, A Pal - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2023 - Elsevier
We study the statistical properties of a non-Markovian chiral run-and-tumble particle (CRTP)
