Brownian walkers within subdiffusing territorial boundaries.

چکیده
Inspired by the collective phenomenon of territorial emergence, whereby animals move and interact through the scent marks they deposit, we study the dynamics of a 1D Brownian walker in a random environment consisting of confining boundaries that are themselves diffusing anomalously. We show how to reduce, in certain parameter regimes, the non-Markovian, many-body problem of territoriality to the analytically tractable one-body problem studied here. The mean square displacement (MSD) of the 1D Brownian walker within subdiffusing boundaries is calculated exactly and generalizes well known results when the boundaries are immobile. Furthermore, under certain conditions, if the boundary dynamics are strongly subdiffusive, we show the appearance of an interesting nonmonotonicity in the time dependence of the MSD, giving rise to transient negative diffusion.

Statistical Description of Contact-Interacting Brownian Walkers on the Line
The distribution of interval lengths between Brownian walkers on the line is investigated. The walkers are independent until collision; at collision, the left walker disappears, and the right walker survives with probability p. This problem arises in the context of diffusion-limited reactions and also in the scaling limit of the voter model. A systematic expansion in correlation between neighbo...
متن کاملDistribution of the time at which N vicious walkers reach their maximal height.
We study the extreme statistics of N nonintersecting Brownian motions (vicious walkers) over a unit time interval in one dimension. Using path-integral techniques we compute exactly the joint distribution of the maximum M and of the time τ(M) at which this maximum is reached. We focus in particular on nonintersecting Brownian bridges ("watermelons without wall") and nonintersecting Brownian exc...
متن کاملFunctional central limit theorems for vicious walkers
We consider the diffusion scaling limit of the vicious walker model that is a system of nonintersecting random walks. We prove a functional central limit theorem for the model and derive two types of nonintersecting Brownian motions, in which the nonintersecting condition is imposed in a finite time interval (0, T ] for the first type and in an infinite time interval (0,∞) for the second type, ...
متن کاملTowards Territorial Privacy in Smart Environments
Territorial privacy is an old concept for privacy of the personal space dating back to the 19th century. Despite its former relevance, territorial privacy has been neglected in recent years, while privacy research and legislation mainly focused on the issue of information privacy. However, with the prospect of smart and ubiquitous environments, territorial privacy deserves new attention. Walls,...

The major factors of insecurity in the East, away from the security of geopolitical area were because of the formation of political management in the nineteenth century colonial style. The security factor in the vast region of the East that encompasses at least three countries of Iran and Afghanistan and Pakistan is very important and highly effective. It reached its peak colonial Anglo-Russian...
