It is well-known that 0 is the absorbing state for a branching system. Each particle in the system lives a random long time and gives a random number of new particles at its death time. It stops when the system has no particle. This paper…
The phase transitions of the recently introduced 2A -> 3A, 4A -> 0 reaction-diffusion model (G.Odor, PRE 69 036112 (2004)) are explored in two dimensions. This model exhibits site occupation restriction and explicit diffusion of isolated…
We review some of the theory relevant to passage times of one-dimensional L\'evy processes out of bounded regions, highlighting results that are useful in physical phenomena modelled by heavy-tailed L\'evy flights. The process is…
We present evidence that relativistic shocks propagating in unmagnetized plasmas can self-consistently accelerate particles. We use long-term two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations to study the well-developed shock structure in…
In this work, the transition between diffusion-limited and ballistic aggregation models was revisited using a model in which biased random walks simulate the particle trajectories. The bias is controlled by a parameter $\lambda$, which…
In this paper, we study the speed of extinction of continuous state branching processes in subcritical L\'evy environments. More precisely, when the associated L\'evy process to the environment drifts to $-\infty$ and, under a suitable…
We study equilibrium properties of a catalytically-activated annihilation $A + A \to 0$ reaction taking place on a one-dimensional chain of length $N$ ($N \to \infty$) in which some segments (placed at random, with mean concentration $p$)…
We consider a branching random walk with an absorbing barrier, where the step of the associated one-dimensional random walk is in the domain of attraction of an $\alpha$-stable law with $1<\alpha<2$. We shall prove that there is a barrier…
A quantitative model of the mobility of functionalized particles at the interface is pivotal to understanding important systems in biology and nanotechnology. In this work, we investigate the emerging dynamics of particles anchored through…
We study a recently introduced ladder model which undergoes a transition between an active and an infinitely degenerate absorbing phase. In some cases the critical behaviour of the model is the same as that of the branching annihilating…
The standard Levy walk is performed by a particle that moves ballistically between randomly occurring collisions, when the intercollision time is a random variable governed by a power-law distribution. During instantaneous collision events…
We consider the trapping reaction A + B -> B in space dimension d<=2. By formally eliminating the B particles from the problem we derive an effective dynamics for the A particles from which the survival probability of a given A particle and…
We study a particle system with hopping (random walk) dynamics on the integer lattice $\mathbb Z^d$. The particles can exist in two states, active or inactive (sleeping); only the former can hop. The dynamics conserves the number of…
Annihilation processes, where the reacting particles are influenced by some external advective field, are one of the simplest examples of nonlinear statistical systems. This type of processes can be observed in miscellaneous chemical,…
We consider the asymptotic behavior of the (one dimensional) two-species annihilation reaction A + B --> 0, where both species have a uniform drift in the same direction and like species have a hard core exclusion. Extensive numerical…
We investigate the quantum reaction-diffusion dynamics of fermionic particles which coherently hop in a one-dimensional lattice and undergo annihilation reactions. The latter are modelled as dissipative processes which involve losses of…
We study the effect of an external driving force on a simple stochastic reaction-diffusion system in one dimension. In our model each lattice site may be occupied by at most one particle. These particles hop with rates $(1\pm\eta)/2$ to the…
We study the frog model with death on the biregular tree $\mathbb{T}_{d_1,d_2}$. Initially, there is a random number of awake and sleeping particles located on the vertices of the tree. Each awake particle moves as a discrete-time…
We investigate a class of reaction processes in which particles move ballistically and react upon colliding. We show that correlations between velocities of colliding particles play a crucial role in the long time behavior. In the…
In this paper, we study critical and subcritical branching $\alpha$-stable processes, $\alpha \in (0, 2)$. We obtain the exact asymptotic behaviors of the tails of the maximal positions of all subcritical branching $\alpha$-stable processes…
