Abstract:
A stochastic process with movement, return, and rest phases is considered in this paper. For the movement phase, the particles move following the dynamics of the Gaussian process or the ballistic type of Lévy walk, and the time of each movement is random. For the return phase, the particles will move back to the origin with a constant velocity or acceleration or under the action of a harmonic force after each movement, so that this phase can also be treated as a noninstantaneous resetting. After each return, a rest with a random time at the origin follows. The asymptotic behaviors of the mean-squared displacements with different kinds of movement dynamics, returning, and random resting time are discussed. The stationary distributions are also considered when the process is localized. In addition, the mean first passage time is considered when the dynamic of the movement phase is Brownian motion.

In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
