The persistence exponent, theta, is defined by N_F sim t^theta, where t is the time since the start of the coarsening process and the "no-flip fraction", N_F, is the number of points that have not seen a change of "color" since t=0. Here we…

We study diffusion-controlled single-species annihilation with sparse initial conditions. In this random process, particles undergo Brownian motion, and when two particles meet, both disappear. We focus on sparse initial conditions where…

We use a boolean cellular automaton model to describe the diffusion limited dynamics of the irreversible reaction A+A->A+S on a 1D lattice. We derive a set of equations for the dynamics of the empty interval probabilities from which…

We consider random Schr\"odinger equations on $\bZ^d$ for $d\ge 3$ with identically distributed random potential. Denote by $\lambda$ the coupling constant and $\psi_t$ the solution with initial data $\psi_0$. The space and time variables…

Diffusion-coagulation can be simply described by a dynamic where particles perform a random walk on a lattice and coalesce with probability unity when meeting on the same site. Such processes display non-equilibrium properties with strong…

This paper is concerned with a type of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation, which arises from the population dynamics. The equation includes a certain type reaction term $u^\alpha(1- \sigma \int_{\R^n}u^\beta dx)$ of dimension $n \ge 1$…

We propose a model for aggregation where particles are continuously growing by heterogeneous condensation in one dimension and solve it exactly. We show that the particle size spectra exhibit transition to dynamic scaling $c(x,t)\sim…

Many nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) display a coarsening dynamics, i.e., an emerging pattern whose typical length scale $L$ increases with time. The so-called coarsening exponent $n$ characterizes the time dependence of the…
