Exact results and instabilities in the harmonic approximation of active crystals

Connor Roberts, Gunnar Pruessner

Condensates of active particles such as cells form almost-crystalline lattices which play a central role in many biological systems. Typically, their properties have been determine…

Conditional splitting probabilities for hidden-state inference in drift-diffusive processes

Emir Sezik, Jacob Knight, Henry Alston +4

Splitting probabilities quantify the likelihood of particular outcomes out of a set of mutually-exclusive possibilities for stochastic processes and play a central role in first-pa…

Stochastic cloaking: concealing a region from diffusive particles

Connor Roberts, Ziluo Zhang, Helder Rojas +4

We introduce "stochastic cloaking," where a region of space is concealed from an ensemble of diffusing particles whose individual trajectories are governed by a stochastic (Langevi…

Ratchet-mediated resetting: Current, efficiency, and exact solution

Connor Roberts, Emir Sezik, Eloise Lardet

We model an overdamped Brownian particle that is subject to resetting facilitated by a ratchet potential on a spatially periodic domain. This asymmetric potential switches on with…

Run-and-tumble motion in a linear ratchet potential: Analytic solution, power extraction, and first-passage properties

Connor Roberts, Zigan Zhen

We explore the properties of run-and-tumble particles moving in a piecewise-linear "ratchet" potential by deriving analytic results for the system's steady-state probability densit…

Optimal power extraction from active particles with hidden states

Luca Cocconi, Jacob Knight, Connor Roberts

We identify generic protocols achieving optimal power extraction from a single active particle subject to continuous feedback control under the assumption that its spatial trajecto…

Exact solution of a boundary tumbling particle system in one dimension

Connor Roberts, Gunnar Pruessner

We derive the fully time-dependent solution to a run-and-tumble model for a particle which has tumbling restricted to the boundaries of a one-dimensional interval. This is achieved…
