Control protocols for harmonically confined run-and-tumble particles
Marco Baldovin, Alessandro Manacorda
Run-and-tumble particles constitute one of the simplest models of self-propelled active matter, and provide an ideal playground to the understanding of out-of-equilibrium systems.…
How target distributions shape optimal stochastic resetting
Gregorio García-Valladares, Antonio Prados, Alessandro Manacorda +1
We investigate the search of a target with a given spatial distribution in a finite one-dimensional domain. The searcher follows Brownian dynamics and is always reset to its initia…
Optimal Control of an Electromechanical Energy Harvester
Dario Lucente, Alessandro Manacorda, Andrea Plati +2
Many techniques originally developed in the context of deterministic control theory have been recently applied to the quest for optimal protocols in stochastic processes. Given a s…
Diffusive oscillators capture the pulsating states of deformable particles
Alessandro Manacorda, Étienne Fodor
We study a model of diffusive oscillators whose internal states are subject to a periodic drive. These models are inspired by the dynamics of deformable particles with pulsating si…
Optimal resetting strategies for search processes in heterogeneous environments
Gregorio García-Valladares, Carlos A. Plata, Antonio Prados +1
In many physical situations, there appears the problem of reaching a single target that is spatially distributed. Here we analyse how stochastic resetting, also spatially distribut…
Introduction to the dynamics of disordered systems: equilibrium and gradient descent
Giampaolo Folena, Alessandro Manacorda, Francesco Zamponi
This manuscript contains the lecture notes of the short courses given by one of us (F.Z.) at the summer school "Fundamental Problems in Statistical Physics XV", held in Brunico, It…
