We consider the cases in which the lattice is filled with a one-sided and a two-sided random distribution of static absorbing traps with concentration c. The survival probability Phi(t) that the random walker is not trapped by time t is obtained exactly in both versions of the problem through a fractional diffusion approach. Comparison with simulation results is made", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-11-10T11:31:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "exact results", "subdiffusive particles", "fractional diffusion approach", "random walk theory", "survival probability phi" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
