Extreme Narrow Escape: shortest paths for the first particles to escape through a small window

Kanishka Basnayake, Akim Hubl, Zeev Schuss +1

What is the path associated with the fastest Brownian particle that reaches a narrow window located on the boundary of a domain? Although the distribution of the fastest arrival ti…

The case of escape probability as linear in short time

Avi Marchewka, Zeev Schuss

We derive rigorously the short-time escape probability of a quantum particle from its compactly supported initial state, which has a discontinuous derivative at the boundary of the…

Do cells sense time by number of divisions?

Zeev Schuss, Kimsy Tor, David Holcman

Do biological cells sense time by the number of their divisions, a process that ends at senescence? We consider the question "can the cell's perception of time be expressed through…

Asymptotics of extreme statistics of escape time in 1,2 and 3-dimensional diffusions

Kanishka Basnayake, Claire Guerrier, Zeev Schuss +1

The first of identical independently distributed (i.i.d.) Brownian trajectories that arrives to a small target, sets the time scale of activation, which in general is much fast…

Geometrical effects on nonlinear electrodiffusion in cell physiology

Jerome Cartailler, Zeev Schuss, David Holcman

We report here new electrical laws, derived from nonlinear electro-diffusion theory, about the effect of the local geometrical structure, such as curvature, on the electrical prope…

Electrostatics of non-neutral biological microdomains

Jerome Cartailler, Zeev Schuss, David Holcman

Voltage and charge distributions in cellular microdomains regulate communications, excitability, and signal transduction. We report here new electrical laws in a cell, which follow…
