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 consider the trapping reaction A + B -> B in space dimension d=1, where the A and B particles have diffusion constants D_A, D_B respectively. We calculate the probability, Q(t), that a given A particle has not yet reacted at time t.…
We study a variation of the trapping reaction, A+B->A, in which both the traps (A) and the particles (B) undergo diffusion, and the traps upon meeting react according to A+A->0 or A. This two-species reaction-diffusion system is known to…
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…

Reaction dynamics involving subdiffusive species is an interesting topic with only few known results, especially when the motion of different species is characterized by different anomalous diffusion exponents. Here we study the reaction…
We analyze the two-species reaction-diffusion system including trapping reaction $A + B \to A$ as well as coagulation/annihilation reactions $A + A \to (A,0)$ where particles of both species are performing L\'evy flights with control…
We calculate the exact asymptotic survival probability, Q, of a one-dimensional Brownian particle, initially located located at the point x in (-L,L), in the presence of two moving absorbing boundaries located at \pm(L+ct). The result is…

We present a stochastic lattice theory describing the kinetic behavior of trapping reactions $A + B \to B$, in which both the $A$ and $B$ particles perform an independent stochastic motion on a regular hypercubic lattice. Upon an encounter…
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 survival probability P_S(t) up to time t of a tracer particle moving along a deterministic trajectory in a continuous d-dimensional space in the presence of diffusing but mutually noninteracting traps. In particular, for a…
A number of results for reactions involving subdiffusive species all with the same anomalous exponent gamma have recently appeared in the literature and can often be understood in terms of a subordination principle whereby time t in…
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 analyze a trapping reaction with a single penetrable trap, in a one dimensional lattice, where both species (particles and trap) are mobile and have a drift velocity. We obtain the density as seen from a reference system attached to the…
While there are many well-known and extensively tested results involving diffusion-limited binary reactions, reactions involving subdiffusive reactant species are far less understood. Subdiffusive motion is characterized by a mean square…
We study the long-time tails of the survival probability $P(t)$ of an $A$ particle diffusing in $d$-dimensional media in the presence of a concentration $\rho$ of traps $B$ that move sub-diffusively, such that the mean square displacement…
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…
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…
"All misfortune of man comes from the fact that he does not stay peacefully in his room", has once asserted Blaise Pascal. In the present paper we evoke this statement as the "Pascal principle" in regard to the problem of survival of an "A"…
