Exact position distribution of a harmonically confined run-and-tumble particle in two dimensions

NR Smith, P Le Doussal, SN Majumdar, G Schehr - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
We consider an overdamped run-and-tumble particle in two dimensions, with self-propulsion
in an orientation that stochastically rotates by 90∘ at a constant rate, clockwise or …

On some finite-velocity random motions driven by the geometric counting process

A Di Crescenzo, A Iuliano, V Mustaro - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2023 - Springer
We study a stochastic process which describes the dynamics of a particle performing a finite-
velocity random motion whose velocities alternate cyclically. We consider two cases, in …

[HTML][HTML] Random motions in R3 with orthogonal directions

F Cinque, E Orsingher - Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2023 - Elsevier
This paper is devoted to the detailed analysis of three-dimensional motions in R 3 with
orthogonal directions switching at Poisson times and moving with constant speed c> 0. The …

[HTML][HTML] Analysis of fractional Cauchy problems with some probabilistic applications

F Cinque, E Orsingher - Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2024 - Elsevier
In this paper we give an explicit solution to Dzherbashyan-Caputo-fractional Cauchy
problems related to equations with derivatives of order νk, for k non-negative integer and ν> …

Confined run-and-tumble particles with non-Markovian tumbling statistics

O Farago, NR Smith - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
Confined active particles constitute simple, yet realistic, examples of systems that converge
into a nonequilibrium steady state. We investigate a run-and-tumble particle in one spatial …

Optimal run-and-tumble in slit-like confinement

T Pietrangeli, C Ybert, C Cottin-Bizonne… - Physical Review …, 2024 - APS
Run-and-tumble is a basic model of persistent motion and a motility strategy widespread in
micro-organisms and individual cells. In many natural settings, movement occurs in the …

Multidimensional random motions with a natural number of finite velocities

F Cinque, M Cintoli - Advances in Applied Probability, 2024 - cambridge.org
We present a detailed analysis of random motions moving in higher spaces with a natural
number of velocities. In the case of the so-called minimal random dynamics, under some …

A Cyclic Random Motion in Driven by Geometric Counting Processes

A Iuliano, G Verasani - Methodology and Computing in Applied Probability, 2024 - Springer
We consider the random motion of a particle that moves with constant velocity in R 3. The
particle can move along four different directions that are attained cyclically. It follows that the …

Reflection principle for finite-velocity random motions

F Cinque - Journal of Applied Probability, 2023 - cambridge.org
We present a reflection principle for a wide class of symmetric random motions with finite
velocities. We propose a deterministic argument which is then applied to trajectories of …

On a planar random motion with asymptotically correlated components

MM Marchione, E Orsingher - arXiv preprint arXiv:2408.01825, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study a planar random motion $\big (X (t),\, Y (t)\big) $ with orthogonal directions, where
the direction switches are governed by a homogeneous Poisson process. At each Poisson …
