The probability of an encounter of two Brownian particles before escape
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the probability of meeting of two Brownian particles before one of them exits a finite interval. We obtain an explicit expression for the probability as a function of the initial distance between the two particles using the Weierstrass elliptic function. We also find the law of the meeting location. Brownian simulations show the accuracy of our analysis. Finally, we discuss some applications to the probability that a double-strand DNA break repairs in confined environments. PACS number: See endnote 2

Preparation of MCM-41 nanofluid and an investigation of Brownian movement of the nanoparticles on the nanofluid conductivity
In this investigation the silicate nano structure of MCM-41 has been used for the production of nanofluid. The particles have negligible heat conductivity and therefore by their dispersion in a base fluid like water, it is possible to study the increase of heat conductivity due to the Brownian motion effects. In this work a suitable apparatus for the measurement of heat conductivity has been bu...
متن کاملFractional Brownian motion in presence of two fixed adsorbing boundaries
Abstract. We study the long-time asymptotics of the probability Pt that the Riemann-Liouville fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index H does not escape from a fixed interval [−L, L] up to time t. We show that for any H ∈]0, 1], for both subdiffusion and superdiffusion regimes, this probability obeys ln(Pt) ∼ −t2H/L2, i.e. may decay slower than exponential (subdiffusion) or faster than expon...
متن کاملThe Effects of Different SDE Calculus on Dynamics of Nano-Aerosols Motion in Two Phase Flow Systems
Langevin equation for a nano-particle suspended in a laminar fluid flow was analytically studied. The Brownian motion generated from molecular bombardment was taken as a Wiener stochastic process and approximated by a Gaussian white noise. Euler-Maruyama method was used to solve the Langevin equation numerically. The accuracy of Brownian simulation was checked by performing a series of simulati...
متن کاملEscape rate of active particles in the effective equilibrium approach.
The escape rate of a Brownian particle over a potential barrier is accurately described by the Kramers theory. A quantitative theory explicitly taking the activity of Brownian particles into account has been lacking due to the inherently out-of-equilibrium nature of these particles. Using an effective equilibrium approach [Farage et al., Phys. Rev. E 91, 042310 (2015)PLEEE81539-375510.1103/Phys...
متن کاملActive Brownian particles and run-and-tumble particles separate inside a maze
A diverse range of natural and artificial self-propelled particles are known and are used nowadays. Among them, active Brownian particles (ABPs) and run-and-tumble particles (RTPs) are two important classes. We numerically study non-interacting ABPs and RTPs strongly confined to different maze geometries in two dimensions. We demonstrate that by means of geometrical confinement alone, ABPs are ...
