Optimal Evasion from a Resetting Searcher

Ami Taitelbaum, Matan Shporer, Shlomi Reuveni +1

Returning to a familiar location can help a searcher find its target---but how should the target move to avoid being found? We address this question for a resetting Brownian search…

First Passage in the Presence of Jump Rate Fluctuations: A Transition from Infinite to Finite Mean

Bara Levit, Shlomi Reuveni

A simple symmetric random walk on a one-dimensional lattice is guaranteed to reach any target site, yet its mean first-passage time diverges. Here, we show that stochastic fluctuat…

Transcription rate dynamics and RNA copy number noise: General relations and data-driven predictions

Amara McCune, Ido Golding, Shlomi Reuveni +1

Stochastic models of gene expression typically begin with a microscopic model of transcription and propagate its statistics to the RNA distribution. Here we develop a doubly stocha…

Localization Delocalization Transition in Diffusion with Adaptive Resetting

Tommer D. Keidar, Shlomi Reuveni

Stochastic resetting can localize diffusion and generate nonequilibrium steady states, but the conditions under which spatially dependent resetting produces localization remain unc…

Stochastic Resetting: A Non-Equilibrium Framework for Prediction, Inference and Design

Tommer D. Keidar, Sagi Meir, Nir Sherf +4

Stochastic resetting has evolved from a simple model of diffusive search acceleration into a general framework for predicting, inferring, and controlling stochastic dynamics far fr…

Wave Resistance for Stochastic Motion at Interfaces

Maxence Arutkin, Shlomi Reuveni, Elie Raphael

Wave resistance is the drag generated by the wave radiation that a source moving at a fluid interface sustains. Under stochastic trajectories, the mean drag is controlled by the en…

Pushing-Induced Arrest Across Lattices and Dimensions

Itamar Shitrit, Ofek Lauber Bonomo, Shlomi Reuveni

Tracer-media interactions can give rise to transport phenomena beyond classical models; e.g., obstacle pushing can eliminate percolation. We demonstrate that the existing "snowplow…

Pushy Random Walk: A Minimal Model for Transport in Deformable Media

Ofek Lauber Bonomo, Itamar Shitrit, Shlomi Reuveni +1

We introduce the pushy random walk, where a walker can push multiple obstacles, thereby penetrating large distances in environments with finite obstacle density. This process provi…

More Bang for the Buck: Improving the Inference of Large Language Models at a Fixed Budget using Reset and Discard (ReD)

Sagi Meir, Tommer D. Keidar, Noam Levi +2

The performance of large language models (LLMs) on verifiable tasks is usually measured by pass@k, the probability of answering a question correctly at least once in k trials. At a…

Diffusion with doubly stochastic resetting

Maxence Arutkin, Shlomi Reuveni

Diffusion with stochastic resetting, instantaneous returns of a diffusing particle to a reference point, creates a stationary probability distribution. The paradigm is extended her…

Smart Resetting: An Energy-Efficient Strategy for Stochastic Search Processes

Ofir Tal-Friedman, Tommer D. Keidar, Shlomi Reuveni +1

Stochastic resetting, a method for accelerating target search in random processes, often incurs temporal and energetic costs. For a diffusing particle, a lower bound exists for the…

Sokoban percolation on the Bethe lattice

Ofek Lauber Bonomo, Itamar Shitrit, Shlomi Reuveni

`With persistence, a drop of water hollows out the stone' goes the ancient Greek proverb. Yet, canonical percolation models do not account for interactions between a moving tracer…
