In order to obtain the corresponding dual processes, the Doi-Peliti formalism is employed. Conventional numerical evaluation enables us to obtain the transition probabilities from a fixed initial state; on the other hand, the duality relation gives us a useful method to calculate the transition probabilities to a fixed final state. Furthermore, it is clarified that the transition probabilities for various rate constants can be evaluated from only one numerical evaluation of extended dual stochastic processes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-24T00:58:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "transition probabilities", "duality-based calculations", "extended dual stochastic processes", "conventional numerical evaluation enables", "corresponding dual birth-death processes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150907193O" } } }
