The survival probability of a moving particle (A) with randomly moving traps (B) is lower than or equal to that of an immobile particle (A) under similar trapping conditions. This holds for various dimensions and random walk types.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Physics
  • Chemical Kinetics
  • Stochastic Processes

Background:

  • Understanding particle dynamics in complex environments is crucial for fields like reaction-diffusion systems.
  • Lattice random walks model particle movement, while randomly moving traps introduce dynamic complexity.
  • Survival probability quantifies the likelihood of a particle persisting over time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the long-time behavior of a particle's survival probability.
  • To compare the survival probability of a mobile particle with a mobile target to that of a mobile particle with an immobile target.
  • To investigate the influence of trapping reaction completeness on survival probability.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the survival probability P(A)(t) for a particle A undergoing a lattice random walk.

  • Consideration of randomly moving traps B.
  • Examination of both perfect and imperfect trapping reactions.
  • Generalization across arbitrary spatial dimensions (d) and various random walk types.

    • Main Results:

    • The survival probability P(A)(t) of a mobile particle A is always less than or equal to the survival probability of an immobile particle A.
    • This inequality holds true for both perfect and imperfect trapping reactions.
    • The findings are applicable to arbitrary spatial dimensions (d) and a general class of random walks.

    Conclusions:

    • Mobile traps significantly reduce particle survival probability compared to immobile traps.
    • The nature of the trapping reaction (perfect vs. imperfect) does not alter this fundamental relationship.
    • The study provides insights into the long-time dynamics of interacting particles in disordered systems.
