A number of random processes in various fields of science is described by phenomenological equations containing a stochastic force, the best known example being the Langevin equation (LE) for the Brownian motion (BM) of particles. Long ago Vladimirsky (1942) proposed a simple method for solving such equations. The method, based on the classical Gibbs statistics, consists in converting the stochastic LE into a deterministic one, and is applicable to linear equations with any kind of memory. When the memory effects are taken into account in the description of the BM, the mean square displacement of the particle at long times can exhibit an anomalous (different from that in the Einstein theory) time dependence. In the present paper we show how some general properties of such anomalous BM can be easily derived using the Vladimirsky approach. The method can be effectively used in solving many of the problems currently considered in the literature. We apply it to the description of the BM when the memory kernel in the Volterra-type integro-differential LE exponentially decreases with the time. The problem of the hydrodynamic BM of a charged particle in an external magnetic field is also solved.

A Brownian particle in an ideal quantum gas is considered. The mean square displacement (MSD) is derived. The Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac distribution, other than the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, provides a different stochastic force compared wit h the classical Brownian motion. The MSD, which depends on the thermal wavelength and the density of medium particles, reflects the quantum effect on the Brownian particle explicitly. The result shows that the MSD in an ideal Bose gas is shorter than that in a Fermi gas. The behavior of the quantum Brownian particle recovers the classical Brownian particle as the temperature raises. At low temperatures, the quantum effect becomes obvious. For example, there is a random motion of the Brownian particle due to the fermionic exchange interaction even the temperature is near the absolute zero.
We develop a Split Reactive Brownian Dynamics (SRBD) algorithm for particle simulations of reaction-diffusion systems based on the Doi or volume reactivity model, in which pairs of particles react with a specified Poisson rate if they are closer than a chosen reactive distance. In our Doi model, we ensure that the microscopic reaction rules for various association and disassociation reactions are consistent with detailed balance (time reversibility) at thermodynamic equilibrium. The SRBD algorithm uses Strang splitting in time to separate reaction and diffusion, and solves both the diffusion-only and reaction-only subproblems exactly, even at high packing densities. To efficiently process reactions without uncontrolled approximations, SRBD employs an event-driven algorithm that processes reactions in a time-ordered sequence over the duration of the time step. A grid of cells with size larger than all of the reactive distances is used to schedule and process the reactions, but unlike traditional grid-based methods such as Reaction-Diffusion Master Equation (RDME) algorithms, the results of SRBD are statistically independent of the size of the grid used to accelerate the processing of reactions. We use the SRBD algorithm to compute the effective macroscopic reaction rate for both reaction- and diffusion-limited irreversible association in three dimensions. We also study long-time tails in the time correlation functions for reversible association at thermodynamic equilibrium. Finally, we compare different particle and continuum methods on a model exhibiting a Turing-like instability and pattern formation. We find that for models in which particles diffuse off lattice, such as the Doi model, reactions lead to a spurious enhancement of the effective diffusion coefficients.

We find the exact winding number distribution of Riemann-Liouville fractional Brownian motion for large times in two dimensions using the propagator of a free particle. The distribution is similar to the Brownian motion case and it is of Cauchy type. In addition we find the winding number distribution of fractal time process, i.e., time fractional Fokker-Planck equation, in the presence of finite size winding center.
Brownian motion has played important roles in many different fields of science since its origin was first explained by Albert Einstein in 1905. Einsteins theory of Brownian motion, however, is only applicable at long time scales. At short time scales , Brownian motion of a suspended particle is not completely random, due to the inertia of the particle and the surrounding fluid. Moreover, the thermal force exerted on a particle suspended in a liquid is not a white noise, but is colored. Recent experimental developments in optical trapping and detection have made this new regime of Brownian motion accessible. This review summarizes related theories and recent experiments on Brownian motion at short time scales, with a focus on the measurement of the instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle in a gas and the observation of the transition from ballistic to diffusive Brownian motion in a liquid.

Mortality introduces an intrinsic time scale into the scale-invariant Brownian motion. This fact has important consequences for different statistics of Brownian motion. Here we are telling three short stories, where spontaneous death, such as radioac tive decay, puts a natural limit to lifetime achievements of a Brownian particle. In story 1 we determine the probability distribution of a mortal Brownian particle (MBP) reaching a specified point in space at the time of its death. In story 2 we determine the probability distribution of the area $A=int_0^{T} x(t) dt$ of a MBP on the line. Story 3 addresses the distribution of the winding angle of a MBP wandering around a reflecting disk in the plane. In stories 1 and 2 the probability distributions exhibit integrable singularities at zero values of the position and the area, respectively. In story 3 a singularity at zero winding angle appears only in the limit of very high mortality. A different integrable singularity appears at a nonzero winding angle. It is inherited from the recently uncovered singularity of the short-time large-deviation function of the winding angle for immortal Brownian motion.
