We study the kinetics of diffusion-controlled A+B→B reactions, in which both species are moving randomly on a d-dimensional lattice and react upon encounters, provided that both species are in reactive states. Particles’ reactivity fluctuates randomly between active and passive forms. We...

The stochastic kinetics of a bistable chemical reaction is studied in the birth and death formalism. An elementary perturbation technique allows to estimate the first two nontrivial eigenvalues μ1 and μ2 of the evolution matrix and the corresponding engenvectors. This shows that once a...

An exact equation describing the stochastic motion of a droplet of neighbouring equal mass hard points with velocities ±c, immerzed in a hard point fluid, is derived. The derivation generalizes Resibois' idea originally applied to the study of self-diffusion. The explicit solution for a...

The relations between information, entropy and energy, which are well known in equilibrium thermodynamics, are not clear far from equilibrium. Moreover, the usual expression of the classical thermodynamic potentials is only valid near equilibrium. In previous publications, we showed for a...
