Separation versus diffusion in a two species system

We consider a finite number of particles that move in Z as independent random walks. The particles are of two species that we call a and b. The rightmost a-particle becomes a b-particle at constant rate, while the leftmost b-particle becomes a-particle at the same rate, independently. We prove that...

Sumario:We consider a finite number of particles that move in Z as independent random walks. The particles are of two species that we call a and b. The rightmost a-particle becomes a b-particle at constant rate, while the leftmost b-particle becomes a-particle at the same rate, independently. We prove that in the hydrodynamic limit the evolution is described by a nonlinear system of two PDE’s with free boundaries. © Brazilian Statistical Association, 2015.
