We study a pair of independent searchers competing for a target under restarts and find that introduction of restarts tends to enhance the search efficiency of an already efficient searcher. As a result, the difference between the search probabilities of the individual searchers increases when the system is subject to restarts. This result holds true independent of the identity of individual searchers or the specific details of the distribution of restart times.

Implications beyond biology/biophysics are in engineering and medicine, with a particular focus on microrheology and on targeted drug delivery. Here, we examine via extensive computer simulations the dynamics of SPPs in deformable gellike structures responsive to thermal fluctuations.

Specifically, we consider the aged versions of the ensemble mean-squared displacement (MSD) and the time-averaged MSD (TAMSD), along with the aging factor. Our results are favorably compared with simulations results.
