First passage time for $g$--subdiffusion process of vanishing particles

Statistical Mechanics 2022-09-14 v1

Abstract

Subdiffusion equation and molecule survival equation, both with Caputo fractional time derivatives with respect to another functions g1g_1 and g2g_2, respectively, are used to describe diffusion of a molecule that can disappear at any time with a constant probability. The process can be interpreted as ``ordinary'' subdiffusion and ``ordinary'' molecule survival process in which timescales are changed by the functions g1g_1 and g2g_2. We derive the first-passage time distribution for the process. The mutual influence of subdiffusion and molecule vanishing processes can be included in the model when the functions g1g_1 and g2g_2 are related to each other. As an example, we consider the processes in which subdiffusion and molecule survival are highly related, which corresponds to the case of g1g2g_1\equiv g_2.
