Abstract

We analyze the two-species reaction-diffusion system including trapping reaction A+BAA + B \to A as well as coagulation/annihilation reactions A+A(A,0)A + A \to (A,0) where particles of both species are performing L\'evy flights with control parameter 0<σ<20 < \sigma < 2, known to lead to superdiffusive behaviour. The density, as well as the correlation function for target particles BB in such systems, are known to scale with nontrivial universal exponents at space dimension ddcd \leq d_{c}. Applying the renormalization group formalism we calculate these exponents in a case of superdiffusion below the critical dimension dc=σd_c=\sigma. The numerical simulations in one-dimensional case are performed as well. The quantitative estimates for the decay exponent of the density of survived particles BB are in good agreement with our analytical results. In particular, it is found that the surviving probability of the target particles in a superdiffusive regime is higher than that in a system with ordinary diffusion.
