The one-dimensional overdamped Brownian motion in a symmetric periodic potential modulated by external time-reversible noise is analyzed. The calculation of the effective diffusion coefficient is reduced to the mean first passage time problem. We derive general equations to calculate the...

Studies on thermal diffusion of lattice solitons in Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU)-like lattices were recently generalized to the case of dispersive long-range interactions (LRI) of the Kac-Baker form. The variance of the soliton position shows a stronger than linear time-dependence (superdiffusion) as...

We study the stationary probability density of a Brownian particle in a potential with a single-well subject to the purely additive thermal and dichotomous noise sources. We find situations where bimodality of stationary densities emerges due to presence of dichotomous noise. The solutions are...

In complex systems such as turbulent flows and financial markets, the dynamics in long and short time-lags, signaled by Gaussian and fat-tailed statistics, respectively, calls for a unified description. To address this issue we analyze a real dataset, namely, price fluctuations, in a wide range...

The most frequently used in physical application diffusive (based on the Fokker-Planck equation) model leans upon the assumption of small jumps of a macroscopic variable for each given realization of the stochastic process. This imposes restrictions on the description of the phase transition...

The present study generalizes the model of extended stochastic systems with a field-dependent kinetic coefficient [M. Ibanes, J. Garcia-Ojalvo, R. Toral, J.M. Sancho, Phys. Rev. Lett. <Emphasis Type="Bold">87, 020601 (2001)] to systems with symmetric and asymmetric bistable potentials. It is found that in systems...</emphasis>
