Three-velocity coalescing ballistic annihilation

Probability 2023-05-22 v3

Abstract

Three-velocity ballistic annihilation is an interacting system in which stationary, left-, and right-moving particles are placed at random throughout the real line and mutually annihilate upon colliding. We introduce a coalescing variant in which collisions may generate new particles. For a symmetric three-parameter family of such systems, we compute the survival probability of stationary particles at a given initial density. This allows us to describe a phase-transition for stationary particle survival.
