Please consider the case where I have 'N' rods of length L (and width W) placed on a one- or two-dimensional surface with dimensions [0, A] in 1D, and [ [0, A], [0, B] ] in 2D. For the two-dimensiona …

While I like Michael Lugo's answer better, I thought I might as well put up the solution I sketched out for myself for the one-dimensional case: The probability that the walker visits a particular po …

Please imagine a discrete random walk on a one-dimensional lattice. The lattice consists of a set of $L$ positions, $(x_0, x_1, ..., x_L) \in L$, where $x_0$ is the initial position of the walk (as w …

The following paper: Bhattacharyya, P., and B. K. Chakrabarti. The mean distance to the nth neighbour in a uniform distribution of random points: an application of probability theory. Eur J. Phys. 29 …

Imagine that I have a random walk on an $N$-dimensional integer lattice, $Z^N$, of finite dimensions, $(d_1, ..., d_N)$, where boundaries are fully reflecting and the walker is initialized at some poi …

Please imagine that we have an ordinary 2-sphere, of radius $r_{sphere}$, and some three-dimensional polygon that has all of its points fixed at positions strictly internal to the sphere's surface. A …

Please imagine that one populates a finite line of unit length, or circle with unit length contour (to avoid edge-effects), with $N$ one-dimensional 'rods' such that their LHS-ends, at positions $(p_1 …

Please consider a random walk on a finite N-dimensional lattice with vectors $(x_1, ..., x_N)$. We define the origin to be $(0, ..., 0)$ and the target to be at the point in the lattice furthest away …

Let's say I have a Brownian particle of some radius $r_b$ and coefficient of diffusion $D$, freely moving about in a toroidal/doughnut-shaped chamber with inner and outer radius $R_{inner}$ and $R_{ou …

To ask this question in a (hopefully) more direct way: Please imagine that I take a freely moving ball in 3-space and create a 'cage' around it by defining a set of impassible coordinates, $S_c$ (i.e …

Let's say I have a point-like Brownian particle undergoing two-dimensional diffusion on an infinite plane with the caveat is that the particle can never return to a coordinate that it previously visit …

We have a multiset $S$ of size $t$ with $r$ distinct elements, where $t$ is much larger than $r$. We want to reconstruct an ordering $s_1, s_2, ... s_t$ of the elements of $S$ given the values of $t$ …
