We experimentally, numerically and theoretically study the optimal mean time needed by a Brownian particle, freely diffusing either in one or two dimensions, to reach, within a tolerance radius R tol, a target at a distance L from an initial position in the presence of resetting. The reset position is Gaussian distributed with width σ. We derived and tested two resetting protocols, one with a periodic and one with random (Poissonian) resetting times. We computed and measured the full first…

During a random search, resetting the searcher’s position from time to time to the starting point often reduces the mean completion time of the process. Although many different resetting models have

Deterministic resetting typically leads to a lower search cost than in stochastic resetting, and several unexpected feature arise for searchers when the resetting is deterministic, including the search time being independent of $T$ for $1/T\to 0$ and the search cost being independentof $N$ over a suitable range of $N$.
