ABSTRACT

We investigate a one-dimensional model of active motion, which takes into account the effects of persistent self-propulsion through a memory function in a dissipative-like term of the generalized Langevin equation for particle swimming velocity. The proposed model is a generalization of the active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model introduced by G. Szamel [Phys. Rev. E 90, 012111 (2014)10.1103/PhysRevE.90.012111]. We focus on two different kinds of memory which arise in many natural systems: an exponential decay and a power law, supplemented with additive colored noise. We provide analytical expressions for the velocity autocorrelation function and the mean-squared displacement, which are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations. For both models, damped oscillatory solutions emerge due to the competition between the memory of the system and the persistence of velocity fluctuations. In particular, for a power-law model with fractional Brownian noise, we show that long-time active subdiffusion occurs with increasing long-term memory.
