We study a model for a random walk of two classes of particles (A and B). Where both species are present in the same site, the motion of A's takes precedence over that of B's. The model was originally proposed and analyzed in Maragakis et…
We study diffusion-limited coalescence, A+A<-->A, in one dimension, in the presence of a diffusing trap. The system may be regarded as a generalization of von Smoluchowski's model for reaction rates, in that: (a) it includes reactions…
We consider the survival probability of a particle in the presence of a finite number of diffusing traps in one dimension. Since the general solution for this quantity is not known when the number of traps is greater than two, we devise a…

We study the trapping reaction-diffusion problem in a symmetric double well potential in one dimension with a static trap located at the middle of the central barrier of the double well. The effect of competition between the confinement and…
We study a generalization of the standard trapping problem of random walk theory in which particles move subdiffusively on a one-dimensional lattice. We consider the cases in which the lattice is filled with a one-sided and a two-sided…
Extensive simulations are performed of the diffusion-limited reaction A$+$B$\to 0$ in one dimension, with initially separated reagents. The reaction rate profile, and the probability distributions of the separation and midpoint of the…
We discuss non-reversible Markov-chain Monte Carlo algorithms that, for particle systems, rigorously sample the positional Boltzmann distribution and that have faster than physical dynamics. These algorithms all feature a non-thermal…
We have previously discussed the one-dimensional multitrap system of finite range and found the somewhat unexpected result that the larger is the number of imperfect traps the higher is the transmission through them. We discuss in this work…
We calculate the survival probability of an immobile target surrounded by a sea of uncorrelated diffusive or subdiffusive evanescent traps, i.e., traps that disappear in the course of their motion. Our calculation is based on a fractional…
We calculate the efficiency of a rejection-free dynamic Monte Carlo method for $d$-dimensional off-lattice homogeneous particles interacting through a repulsive power-law potential $r^{-p}$. Theoretically we find the algorithmic efficiency…
In this paper we study the kinetics of diffusion-limited, pseudo-first-order A + B -> B reactions in situations in which the particles' intrinsic reactivities vary randomly in time. That is, we suppose that the particles are bearing "gates"…
We study a one-dimensional two-component Fermi gas in a harmonic trapping potential using finite temperature lattice quantum Monte Carlo methods. We are able to compute observables in the canonical ensemble via an efficient projective…
We look for similarity transformations which yield mappings between different one-dimensional reaction-diffusion processes. In this way results obtained for special systems can be generalized to equivalent reaction-diffusion models. The…
We study a two-species reaction-diffusion model where A+A->0, A+B->0 and B+B->0, with annihilation rates lambda0, delta0 > lambda0 and lambda0, respectively. The initial particle configuration is taken to be randomly mixed with mean…
We find an exact series solution for the steady-state probability distribution of a harmonically trapped active Brownian particle in two dimensions, in the presence of translational diffusion. This series solution allows us to efficiently…
Monte Carlo optimizations of Number Partitioning and of Diophantine approximations are microscopic realizations of `Trap Model' dynamics. This offers a fresh look at the physics behind this model, and points at other situations in which it…

We investigate the A+B=0 bimolecular chemical reaction taking place in low-dimensional spaces when the mobilities of the two reacting species are not equal. While the case of different reactant mobilities has been previously reported as not…
The survival problem for a diffusing particle moving among random traps is considered. We introduce a simple argument to derive the quenched asymptotics of the survival probability from the Lifshitz tail effect for the associated operator.…
