We discuss a reaction-diffusion model in one dimension subjected to an external driving force. Each lattice site may be occupied by at most one particle. The particles hop with asymmetric rates (the sum of which is one) to the right or left…

The diffusion, "explosion" and "evaporation" of dimers and the subsequent coalescence are treated in a formal way by identifying and solving the differential equations deduced from the respective behaviors of dimers in the different cases.…

The persistence properties of a set of random walkers obeying the A+B -> 0 reaction, with equal initial density of particles and homogeneous initial conditions, is studied using two definitions of persistence. The probability, P(t), that an…

We study diffusion-controlled two-species annihilation with a finite number of particles. In this stochastic process, particles move diffusively, and when two particles of opposite type come into contact, the two annihilate. We focus on the…

One-dimensional reaction-diffusion models A+A -> 0, A+A -> A, and $A+B -> 0, where in the latter case like particles coagulate on encounters and move as clusters, are solved exactly with anisotropic hopping rates and assuming synchronous…

We consider a system of annihilating particles where particles start from the points of a Poisson process on the line, move at constant i.i.d. speeds symmetrically distributed in {-1,0,+1} and annihilate upon collision. We prove that…
