چکیده

Consider the system of particles on Z where particles are of two types, A and B, and execute simple random walks in continuous time. Particles do not interact with their own type, but when a type A particle meets a type B particle, both disappear. Initially, particles are assumed to be distributed according to homogeneous Poisson random fields, with equal intensities for the two types. This system serves as a model for the chemical reaction A+ B → inert. In [BrLe91a], the densities of the two types of particles were shown to decay asymptotically like 1/t for d < 4 and 1/t for d ≥ 4, as t → ∞. This change in behavior from low to high dimensions corresponds to a change in spatial structure. In d < 4, particle types segregate, with only one type present locally. After suitable rescaling, the process converges to a limit, with density given by a Gaussian process. In d > 4, both particle types are, at large times, present locally in concentrations not depending on the type, location or realization. In d = 4, both particle types are present locally, but with varying concentrations. Here, we analyze this behavior in d < 4; the behavior for d ≥ 4 will be handled in a future work [BrLe99].

Spatial Structure in Diffusion-Limited Two-Particle Reactions

We analyze the limiting behavior of the densities pA(t) and pu(t), and the random spatial structure ~(t) = (s ~B(t)), for the diffusion-controlled chemical reaction A + B ~ i n e r t . For equal initial densities pA(0)=p~(0) there is a change in behavior from d~<4, where pA(t )=ps( t )~C/ t a/4, to d~>4, where pA(t)=pB(t)~C/t as t ~ *o; the term C depends on the initial densities and changes wi...

Asymptotic Behavior of Densities for Two-Particle Annihilating Random Walks

Consider the system of particles on Z a where particles are of two types A and B--and execute simple random walks in continuous time. Particles do not interact with their own type, but when an A-particle meets a B-particle, both disappear, i.e., are annihilated. This system serves as a model for the chemical reaction A + B ~ inert. We analyze the limiting behavior of the densities pA(t) and pB(...

Erratum : Renormalization Group Study of the A - I - B O Diffusion - Limited Reaction 1

In recent years much progress has been made in applying field-theoretic renormalization-group methods to models of diffusion-limited chemical reactions. One such example was a study by the present authors of the A + B--* ~ annihilation reaction with random initial conditions and equal particle densities. III Our purpose here is to correct a mistake contained in this worked and to revise the con...
