The time of the first occurrence of a threshold crossing event in a stochastic process, known as the first passage time, is of interest in many areas of sciences and engineering. Conventionally, there is an implicit assumption that the notional sensor monitoring the threshold crossing event is always active. In many realistic scenarios, the sensor monitoring the stochastic process works intermittently. Then, the relevant quantity of interest is the $textit{first detection time}$, which denotes the time when the sensor detects the threshold crossing event for the first time. In this work, a birth-death process monitored by a random intermittent sensor is studied, for which the first detection time distribution is obtained. In general, it is shown that the first detection time is related to, and is obtainable from, the first passage time distribution. Our analytical results display an excellent agreement with simulations. Further, this framework is demonstrated in several applications -- the SIS compartmental and logistic models, and birth-death processes with resetting. Finally, we solve the practically relevant problem of inferring the first passage time distribution from the first detection time.

We investigate classic diffusion with the added feature that a diffusing particle is reset to its starting point each time the particle reaches a specified threshold. In an infinite domain, this process is non-stationary and its probability distribut
ion exhibits rich features. In a finite domain, we define a non-trivial optimization in which a cost is incurred whenever the particle is reset and a reward is obtained while the particle stays near the reset point. We derive the condition to optimize the net gain in this system, namely, the reward minus the cost.
We study the kinetics for the search of an immobile target by randomly moving searchers that detect it only upon encounter. The searchers perform intermittent random walks on a one-dimensional lattice. Each searcher can step on a nearest neighbor sit
e with probability alpha, or go off lattice with probability 1 - alpha to move in a random direction until it lands back on the lattice at a fixed distance L away from the departure point. Considering alpha and L as optimization parameters, we seek to enhance the chances of successful detection by minimizing the probability P_N that the target remains undetected up to the maximal search time N. We show that even in this simple model a number of very efficient search strategies can lead to a decrease of P_N by orders of magnitude upon appropriate choices of alpha and L. We demonstrate that, in general, such optimal intermittent strategies are much more efficient than Brownian searches and are as efficient as search algorithms based on random walks with heavy-tailed Cauchy jump-length distributions. In addition, such intermittent strategies appear to be more advantageous than Levy-based ones in that they lead to more thorough exploration of visited regions in space and thus lend themselves to parallelization of the search processes.
We study the effects of an intermittent harmonic potential of strength $mu = mu_0 u$ -- that switches on and off stochastically at a constant rate $gamma$, on an overdamped Brownian particle with damping coefficient $ u$. This can be thought of as a
realistic model for realisation of stochastic resetting. We show that this dynamics admits a stationary solution in all parameter regimes and compute the full time dependent variance for the position distribution and find the characteristic relaxation time. We find the exact non-equilibrium stationary state distributions in the limits -- (i) $gammallmu_0 $ which shows a non-trivial distribution, in addition as $mu_0toinfty$, we get back the result for resetting with refractory period; (ii) $gammaggmu_0$ where the particle relaxes to a Boltzmann distribution of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with half the strength of the original potential and (iii) intermediate $gamma=2nmu_0$ for $n=1, 2$. The mean first passage time (MFPT) to find a target exhibits an optimisation with the switching rate, however unlike instantaneous resetting the MFPT does not diverge but reaches a stationary value at large rates. MFPT also shows similar behavior with respect to the potential strength. Our results can be verified in experiments on colloids using optical tweezers.
In noisy environments such as the cell, many processes involve target sites that are often hidden or inactive, and thus not always available for reaction with diffusing entities. To understand reaction kinetics in these situations, we study the first
hitting time statistics of a Brownian particle searching for a target site that switches stochastically between visible and hidden phases. At high crypticity, an unexpected rate limited power-law regime emerges for the first hitting time density, which markedly differs from the classic $t^{-3/2}$ scaling for steady targets. Our problem admits an asymptotic mapping onto a mixed, or Robin, boundary condition. Similar results are obtained with non-Markov targets and particles diffusing anomalously.
We study the non-Markovian random continuous processes described by the Mori-Zwanzig equation. As a starting point, we use the Markovian Gaussian Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and introduce an integral memory term depending on the past of the process in
to expression for the higher-order transition probability function and stochastic differential equation. We show that the proposed processes can be considered as continuous-time interpolations of discrete-time higher-order autoregressive sequences. An equation connecting the memory function (the kernel of integral term) and the two-point correlation function is obtained. A condition for stationarity of the process is established. We suggest a method to generate stationary continuous stochastic processes with prescribed pair correlation function. As illustration, some examples of numerical simulation of the processes with non-local memory are presented.
