Many cellular and subcellular biological processes can be described in terms of diffusing and chemically reacting species (e.g. enzymes). Such reaction-diffusion processes can be mathematically modelled using either deterministic…
A popular approach to modeling bimolecular reactions between diffusing molecules is through the use of reactive boundary conditions. One common model is the Smoluchowski partial absorption condition, which uses a Robin boundary condition in…

This chapter aims at emphasizing the crucial role of partial reactivity of a catalytic surface or a target molecule in diffusion-controlled reactions. We discuss various microscopic mechanisms that lead to imperfect reactions, the Robin…
We revise the encounter-based approach to imperfect diffusion-controlled reactions, which employs the statistics of encounters between a diffusing particle and the reactive region to implement surface reactions. We extend this approach to…

Reaction-diffusion equations are one of the most common partial differential equations used to model physical phenomenon. They arise as the combination of two physical processes: a driving force $f(u)$ that depends on the state variable $u$…
Consider a finite system of diffusing particles coupled through a reactive boundary. Each particle is reflected, but may react with the boundary according to a killing mechanism which depends on the current reactivity of the boundary and…

We investigate anomalous diffusion processes governed by the fractional Langevin equation and confined to a finite or semi-infinite interval by reflecting potential barriers. As the random and damping forces in the fractional Langevin…
We consider a special type of fast reaction-diffusion systems in which the coefficients of the reaction terms of the two substances are much larger than those of the diffusion terms while the diffusive motion to the substrate is negligible.…
