Slow time evolution of two-time-scale reaction-diffusion systems: The physical origin of nondiffusive transport

We study, from a mesoscopic point of view, the slow time-scale dynamics of a mixture of chemicals in which there is a chemical reaction that occurs much faster than all other processes, including diffusion. For a simple paradigmatic model reaction, it is possible to find a reduced set of dynamical e...
