The initial particle configuration is taken to be randomly mixed with mean densities nA(0) > nB(0), and with the two species A and B diffusing with the same diffusion constant. A field-theoretic renormalization group analysis suggests that, contrary to expectation, the large-time density of the minority species decays at the same rate as the majority when d<=2. Monte Carlo data supports the field theory prediction in d=1, while in d=2 the logarithmically slow convergence to the large-time asymptotics makes a numerical test difficult.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2000-06-09T12:16:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-species reaction-diffusion system", "equal diffusion constants", "anomalous density decay", "large times", "field-theoretic renormalization group analysis" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
