Using the quasistatic approximation, we show that in a subdiffusion--reaction system the reaction front $x_{f}$ evolves in time according to the formula $x_{f} \sim t^{\alpha/2}$, with $\alpha$ being the subdiffusion parameter. The result…
In a continuous time random walk (CTRW), each random jump follows a random waiting time. CTRW scaling limits are time-changed processes that model anomalous diffusion. The outer process describes particle jumps, and the non-Markovian inner…
In this paper we deal with anomalous diffusions induced by Continuous Time Random Walks - CTRW in $\mathbb{R}^n$. A particle moves in $\mathbb{R}^n$ in such a way that the probability density function $u(\cdot,t)$ of finding it in region…
One-dimensional reaction-diffusion systems are mapped through a similarity transformation onto integrable (and a priori non-stochastic) quantum chains. Time-dependent properties of these chemical models can then be found exactly. The…
Problems involving the capture of a moving entity by a trap occur in a variety of physical situations, the moving entity being an electron, an excitation, an atom, a molecule, a biological object such as a receptor cluster, a cell, or even…
We study the dynamics of a system made up of particles of two different species undergoing irreversible quadratic autocatalytic reactions: $A + B \to 2A$. We especially focus on the reaction velocity and on the average time at which the…
