Zusammenfassung

The main objectives are the study of rate-dominated processes as they occur for (i) neuronal firing and (ii) the translocation of biomolecules through nanopores, nanotubes, and ion channels. Both topics have in common, that they are typically driven by time-dependent, noise-activated nonlinear escape events. During the first project period stochastic methods as well as analytical and numerical techniques were applied to the dynamics of physical and biophysical systems near and far from equilibrium. Now, further research on escape events driven by noise is envisaged. The study requires...
