In this paper, we compute the probability that a segment of random position and of constant length intersects a side of a regular lattice with circular sections obstacles. In particular, we obtain the formula of a probability already computed by Caristi and Stoka, as well as the formula of the...

Healthy and sick individuals (A and B particles) diffuse independently with diffusion constants DA and DB. Sick individuals upon encounter infect healthy ones (at rate k), but may also spontaneously recover (at rate 1/τ). The propagation of the epidemic therefore couples to the fluctuations in...
