Diffusion-limited annihilating systems and the increasing convex order

Probability 2022-08-05 v2

Abstract

We consider diffusion-limited annihilating systems with mobile AA-particles and stationary BB-particles placed throughout a graph. Mutual annihilation occurs whenever an AA-particle meets a BB-particle. Such systems, when ran in discrete time, are also referred to as parking processes. We show for a broad family of graphs and random walk kernels that augmenting either the size or variability of the initial placements of particles increases the total occupation time by AA-particles of a given subset of the graph. A corollary is that the same phenomenon occurs with the total lifespan of all particles in internal diffusion-limited aggregation.
