# gst: biased random walks on networks with stochastic resetting.

<< This study explores biased random walk dynamics with stochastic resetting on general networks. (AA) show that the combination of biased random walks and stochastic resetting makes significant contributions by analyzing the search efficiency. (They) derive two analytical expressions for the stationary distribution and the mean first passage time, which are related to the spectral representation of the probability transition matrix of a biased random walk without resetting. These expressions can be used to determine the capacity of a random walker to reach the specific target and probe a finite network. >>

AA << apply the analytical results to two types of networks, pseudofractal scale-free webs and T-fractals, which are constructed through an iterative process. (They) also extend a strategy to explore other complex structure networks or larger networks by leveraging the spectral properties. >>

# gst: apropos of interweavings, linking dispersion and stirring in randomly braiding flows.

     Fig. 5 (a)

<< Many random flows, including 2D unsteady and stagnation-free 3D steady flows, exhibit non-trivial braiding of pathlines as they evolve in time or space. (AA) show that these random flows belong to a pathline braiding 'universality class' that quantitatively links dispersion and chaotic stirring, meaning that the Lyapunov exponent can be estimated from the purely advective transverse dispersivity. (AA) verify this quantitative link for both unsteady 2D and steady 3D random flows. This result uncovers a deep connection between transport and mixing over a broad class of random flows. >>️

# gst: random trajectories in bounded domains


<< ️Can we deduce the total length of a random trajectory by observing only its local path segments within a confined domain? Surprisingly, the answer is yes—for curves randomly placed and oriented in space, whether stochastic or deterministic; generated by ballistic or diffusive dynamics; possibly interrupted by stopping or branching; and in two or more dimensions. More precisely, the mean total length ⟨𝐿⟩ relates to the mean in-domain path length ⟨ℓ⟩ and the mean chord length of the domain ⟨𝜎⟩ via the following simple and universal relation:

              1/⟨ℓ⟩ = 1/⟨𝐿⟩ + 1/⟨𝜎⟩

Here, ⟨𝜎⟩ is a purely geometric quantity, dependent only on the volume-to-surface ratio of the domain. Derived solely from the kinematic formula of integral geometry, the result is independent of step-length statistics, memory, absorption, and branching, making it equally relevant to photons in turbid tissue, active bacteria in microchannels, cosmic rays in molecular clouds, or neutron chains in nuclear reactors. Monte Carlo simulations spanning straight needles, Y shapes, and isotropic random walks in two and and three dimensions confirm the universality and demonstrate how a local measurement of ⟨ℓ⟩ yields ⟨𝐿⟩ without ever tracking the full trajectory. >>

# gst: localization of active particles on random arrays of parallel filaments.


<< ️Quenched disorder in the environment can fundamentally alter transport dynamics in both active and passive systems. (AA) explore how disordered arrays of filaments govern the distribution of intermittently moving particles which switch between diffusive and processive transport. >>

<<️ Motivated by the mixed-polarity arrangements of parallel microtubules observed in mammalian dendrites, (They) show that such arrays tend to result in localization of particles at regions of convergent filament orientation. In the rapid attachment-detachment limit, the disordered system can be described by a noisy one-dimensional effective energy landscape, whose structure is approximated by a random walk. >>

<< ️The depth and width of wells on this landscape are expressed as a function of the transport kinetics and system geometry. Localization is shown to be strongest at intermediate run-lengths, where biased transport persists long enough to sense the quenched filament polarity but not so long as to facilitate escape from local traps. >>

<< ️These (AA) results demonstrate robust localization of particles moving on random filament networks, highlighting the emergent spatial organization that arises from an interplay of active transport and quenched disorder. >>

# behav: souvenir collector's walk; the distribution of the number of steps of a continuous-time random walk ending at a given position.

AA << consider a random walker performing a continuous-time random walk (CTRW) with a symmetric step lengths' distribution possessing a finite second moment and with a power-law waiting time distribution with finite or diverging first moment. The problem (They) pose concerns the distribution of the number of steps of the corresponding CTRW conditioned on the final position of the walker at some long time 𝑡. >>

<< ️For positions within the scaling domain of the probability density function (PDF) of final displacements, the distributions of the number of steps show a considerable amount of universality, and are different in the cases when the corresponding CTRW corresponds to subdiffusion and to normal diffusion. >>

They << ️moreover note that the mean value of the number of steps can be obtained independently and follows from the solution of the Poisson equation whose right-hand side depends on the PDF of displacements only. >>

<< ️This approach works not only in the scaling domain but also in the large deviation domain of the corresponding PDF, where the behavior of the mean number of steps is very sensitive to the details of the waiting time distribution beyond its power-law asymptotics. >>

# gst: apropos of random walks, intermittent random walks under stochastic resetting

AA << analyze a one-dimensional intermittent random walk on an unbounded domain in the presence of stochastic resetting. In this process, the walker alternates between local intensive search, diffusion, and rapid ballistic relocations in which it does not react to the target. >>

AA << demonstrate that Poissonian resetting leads to the existence of a non-equilibrium steady state. (They) calculate the distribution of the first arrival time to a target along with its mean and show the existence of an optimal reset rate. In particular, (..) the initial condition of the walker, i.e., either starting diffusely or relocating, can significantly affect the long-time properties of the search process. >>

# behav: decomposition of anomalous diffusion in two-state random walks.

<< ️Two-state stochastic models, where motion alternates between distinct dynamical modes, are widely observed in complex systems. Here (AA) study the Two-State Random Walk (TSRW), which switches between a continuous-time random walk (CTRW) rest state and a standard Lévy walk (LW) motion state, each with power-law distributed sojourn times. >>

<< ️Using anomalous diffusion decomposition, (They) show that TSRWs exhibit a generic coexistence of Joseph (correlation), Noah (heavy-tailed increments), and Moses (aging) effects. >>

<< ️Strikingly, although classical Lévy walks alone possess only the Joseph effect, both Noah and Moses effects emerge in TSRWs solely due to stochastic switching with the CTRW phase. >>

<< ️(Their) results demonstrate that coupling between dynamical states can fundamentally reshape the mechanisms driving anomalous diffusion, offering a minimal yet powerful framework for transport in heterogeneous and intermittently switching environments. >>

# gst: quantum walk on a random comb.

<< ️(AA) study continuous time quantum walk on a random comb graph with infinite teeth. Due to localization effects along the spine, the walk cannot go to infinity in the spine direction, while it can escape to infinity along the teeth of the comb. Starting from an initial vertex the walk has a nonzero probability to stay trapped in a finite region. These results are obtained by studying the spectrum and eigenstates of the random Hamiltonian for the graph and analysing its properties. (They) use both analytic and numerical methods many of which come from the theory of Anderson localization in one dimension. >>

# gst: randomness with constraints: constructing minimal models for high-dimensional biology.


<< ️Biologists and physicists have a rich tradition of modeling living systems with simple models composed of a few interacting components. Despite the remarkable success of this approach, it remains unclear how to use such finely tuned models to study complex biological systems composed of numerous heterogeneous, interacting components. >>

<< ️One possible strategy for taming this biological complexity is to embrace the idea that many biological behaviors we observe are ``typical'' and can be modeled using random systems that respect biologically-motivated constraints. Here, (AA) review recent works showing how this approach can be used to make close connection with experiments in biological systems ranging from neuroscience to ecology and evolution and beyond. Collectively, these works suggest that the ``random-with-constraints'' paradigm represents a promising new modeling strategy for capturing experimentally observed dynamical and statistical features in high-dimensional biological data and provides a powerful minimal modeling philosophy for biology. >>

# gst: apropos of absorbing targets, persistence exponents of self-interacting random walks


<< The persistence exponent, which characterizes the long-time decay of the survival probability of stochastic processes in the presence of an absorbing target, plays a key role in quantifying the dynamics of fluctuating systems. Determining this exponent for non-Markovian processes is known to be a difficult task, and exact results remain scarce despite sustained efforts. >> 

In their Letter, AA << consider the fundamental class of self-interacting random walks (SIRWs), which display long-range memory effects that result from the interaction of the random walker at time 𝑡 with the territory already visited at earlier times 𝑡′ <𝑡. (AA)  compute exactly the persistence exponent for all physically relevant SIRWs. As a byproduct, (They) also determine the splitting probability of these processes. >>

<< Besides their intrinsic theoretical interest, these results provide a quantitative characterization of the exploration process of SIRWs, which are involved in fields as diverse as foraging theory, cell biology, and nonreversible Monte Carlo methods. >>

# gst: apropos of ambiguous scenarios, very persistent random walkers reveal transitions in landscape topology

AA << study the typical behavior of random walkers on the microcanonical configuration space of mean-field disordered systems. Passive walks have an ergodicity-breaking transition at precisely the energy density associated with the dynamical glass transition, but persistent walks remain ergodic at lower energies. >>

<< In models where the energy landscape is thoroughly understood, (They) show that, in the limit of infinite persistence time, the ergodicity-breaking transition coincides with a transition in the topology of microcanonical configuration space. (They) conjecture that this correspondence generalizes to other models, and use it to determine the topological transition energy in situations where the landscape properties are ambiguous. >>

# gst: apropos of weakly coupled oscillators, a new approach to depict about their spontaneous stochastic activities

<<  Many systems in physics, chemistry and biology exhibit oscillations with a pronounced random component. Such stochastic oscillations can emerge via different mechanisms, for example linear dynamics of a stable focus with fluctuations, limit-cycle systems perturbed by noise, or excitable systems in which random inputs lead to a train of pulses. Despite their diverse origins, the phenomenology of random oscillations can be strikingly similar. >>


<< Here (AA) introduce a nonlinear transformation of stochastic oscillators to a new complex-valued function Q∗1(x) that greatly simplifies and unifies the mathematical description of the oscillator's spontaneous activity, its response to an external time-dependent perturbation, and the correlation statistics of different oscillators that are weakly coupled. >>

<< ️(AA) study the dynamics of a single-particle wave packet on a one-dimensional lattice subject to periodic random phase kicks with finite spatial correlation length. This stroboscopic setting provides a controllable model of dephasing in driven quantum systems. >>

<< ️Using a momentum-space formulation, (They) show that the evolution is governed by an accumulated phase whose structure determines the spreading of the wave packet. (They) find that the phase kicks strongly suppress ballistic transport and induce diffusion at long times. (They) derive an explicit analytical expression for the diffusion coefficient as a function of the correlation length, in excellent agreement with numerical simulations. >>

# gst: discontinuous transition to chaos in a canonical random neural network


AA << study a paradigmatic random recurrent neural network introduced by Sompolinsky, Crisanti, and Sommers (SCS). In the infinite size limit, this system exhibits a direct transition from a homogeneous rest state to chaotic behavior, with the Lyapunov exponent gradually increasing from zero. (AA)  generalize the SCS model considering odd saturating nonlinear transfer functions, beyond the usual choice 𝜙⁡(𝑥)=tanh⁡𝑥. A discontinuous transition to chaos occurs whenever the slope of 𝜙 at 0 is a local minimum [i.e., for 𝜙′′′⁢(0)>0]. Chaos appears out of the blue, by an attractor-repeller fold. Accordingly, the Lyapunov exponent stays away from zero at the birth of chaos. >>

# gst: random interaction in active matter models; critical changes in Vicsek's scenario.


<< Randomness plays a key role in the order transition of active matter but has not yet been explicitly considered in pairwise interaction connection. In this paper, (AA) introduce the perception rate 𝑃 into the Vicsek model as the probability of the interaction connections and model the connections as superposition states. (They) show that with increasing 𝑃, the polar order number undergoes an order transition and then saturation. >>

<< The order transition is a first-order phase transition with band formation, and the effect of 𝑃 is different from density. The change of the order number is linked with the interaction structure. The order transition, order saturation, and phase separation correspond to different critical changes in the local interaction number. >>

<< The global interaction structure is further analyzed as a network. The decrease of 𝑃 is comparable to random edge removal, under which the network experiences modal transitions near the critical points of the order number, and the network exhibits surprising robustness.  (AA) results suggest that random interaction can be a new important factor in active matter models, with potential applications in robotic swarms and social activities. >>

# gst: random walk to describe a interplay between the inter-chain hopping and the intra-chain hopping in amorphous Polyimide nanofibers

AA << report the observation of a crossover of heat conduction behavior from three dimensions (3D) to quasi-one dimension (1D) in Polyimide(PI) nanofibers at a given temperature. A theoretical model based on the random walk theory has been proposed to quantitatively describe the interplay between the inter-chain hopping and the intra-chain hopping in nanofibers.
