Abstract

We consider a model of the reaction X+Y2XX+Y\to 2X on the integer lattice in which YY particles do not move while XX particles move as independent continuous time, simple symmetric random walks. YY particles are transformed instantaneously to XX particles upon contact. We start with a fixed number a1a\ge 1 of YY particles at each site to the right of the origin, and define a class of configurations of the XX particles to the left of the origin having a finite l1l^1 norm with a specified exponential weight. Starting from any configuration of XX particles to the left of the origin within such a class, we prove a central limit theorem for the position of the rightmost visited site of the XX particles.
