Two types of mutually annihilating particles
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 2016
Abstract
We consider two types of particles performing simple random walks on the integers. When two particles of different types collide they are immediately annihilated. All particles of one type are started off to the left of the origin, and all particles of the other type are started off to the right of the origin. We determine the asymptotic rate of annihilations and the fluctuations, around this rate, of the numbers annihilated at large times.
