The slow diffusion limit for the survival probability in reactive diffusion equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the Smoluchowski equation with a coordinate-dependent reactivity and obtain asymptotic expansions for the survival probability and the mean lifetime as power series in the diffusion constant. The coefficients in this expansion may depend on both temporal and spatial variables. Using the present results together with the previously derived expansion for the fast diffusion limit, we are able to obtain useful Pad6 approximations for the dependence of the mean lifetime on the diffusion coefficient.

Diffusion-mediated geminate reactions under excluded volume interactions.
In this paper, influence of crowding by inert particles on the geminate reaction kinetics is theoretically investigated. Time evolution equations for the survival probability of a geminate pair are derived from the master equation taking into account the correlation among all diffusing particles, and the results are compared with those obtained by Monte Carlo simulations. In general, excluded v...
متن کاملDiffusion Process for GX/G/M Queuing System with Balking and Reneging
In the present investigation transient, G x/G/m queuing model with balking and reneging has been studied. The diffusion process with elementary return boundary has been used for modeling purpose. The probability density function (p. d. f.) for the number of customers in the system has been obtained. In special case, the steady state results that tally with those of Kimura and Ohsone have been e...
متن کاملPositivity-preserving nonstandard finite difference Schemes for simulation of advection-diffusion reaction equations
Systems in which reaction terms are coupled to diffusion and advection transports arise in a wide range of chemical engineering applications, physics, biology and environmental. In these cases, the components of the unknown can denote concentrations or population sizes which represent quantities and they need to remain positive. Classical finite difference schemes may produce numerical drawback...
متن کاملPullback D-attractors for non-autonomous partly dissipative reaction-diffusion equations in unbounded domains
At present paper, we establish the existence of pullback $mathcal{D}$-attractor for the process associated with non-autonomous partly dissipative reaction-diffusion equation in $L^2(mathbb{R}^n)times L^2(mathbb{R}^n)$. In order to do this, by energy equation method we show that the process, which possesses a pullback $mathcal{D}$-absorbing set, is pullback $widehat{D}_0$-asymptotically compact.
متن کاملDiffusive dynamics on potential energy surfaces: Nonequilibrium CO binding to heme proteins
Theory and practice of reaction dynamics on two-dimensional potential energy surfaces is investigated. Nonequilibrium multidimensional barrier crossing, occurring when the initial density is located near the ridgeline separating reactants and products, is treated by solving the time-dependent Smoluchowski equation as a function of diffusion anisotropy. For a locally separable potential, and slo...
