Reaction networks are often used to model interacting species in fields such as biochemistry and ecology. When the counts of the species are sufficiently large, the dynamics of their concentrations are typically modeled via a system of…
We review some old and prove some new results on the survival probability of a random walk among a Poisson system of moving traps on Z^d, which can also be interpreted as the solution of a parabolic Anderson model with a random…

In self-assembly processes, kinetic trapping effects often hinder the formation of thermodynamically stable ordered states. In a model of viral capsid assembly and in the phase transformation of a lattice gas, we show how simulations in a…
We consider one-dimensional discrete-time random walks (RWs) in the presence of finite size traps of length $\ell$ over which the RWs can jump. We study the survival probability of such RWs when the traps are periodically distributed and…

The prevalent scheme of a diffusion-mediated bimolecular reaction $A+B\rightarrow P$ is an adaptation of that proposed by Briggs and Haldane for enzyme action [{\em Biochem J.\/}, 19:338--339, 1925]. The purpose of this Note is to explain,…
We present fully nonlinear dissipative fluid dynamics simulations of a trapped two-dimensional Fermi gas at unitarity using a Lattice Boltzmann algorithm. We are able to simulate non-harmonic trapping potentials, temperature-dependent…
We consider a reaction-diffusion process with retardation. The particles, immersed in traps initially, remain inactive until another particle is annihilated spontaneously with a rate $\lambda$ at a certain point $\vec x$. In that case the…
A wide variety of physical, chemical, and biological processes involve diffusive particles interacting with surfaces containing reactive patches. The theory of boundary homogenization seeks to encapsulate the effective reactivity of such a…
The properties of a particle diffusing on a one-dimensional lattice where at each site a random barrier and a random trap act simultaneously on the particle are investigated by numerical and analytical techniques. The combined effect of…
We study the behavior of the chemical reactions $A+A\to A+S$ and $A+A\to S+S$ (where the reactive species $A$ and the inert species $S$ are both assumed to be immobile) embedded on Bethe lattices of arbitrary coordination number $z$ and on…
We obtain an asymptotic normality result that reveals the precise asymptotic behavior of the maximum likelihood estimators of parameters for a very general class of linear mixed models containing cross random effects. In achieving the…
The efficiency of an encounter-controlled two-channel reaction between two independently-mobile reactants on a lattice is characterized by the mean number $\rt$ of steps to reaction. The two reactants are distinguished by their mass with…
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 develop an extension of the well-known BCS-theory to systems with trapped fermions. The theory fully includes the quantized energy levels in the trap. The key ingredient is to model the attractive interaction between two atoms by a…
