We calculate the asymptotic form of the expected number of distinct sites visited by N random walkers moving independently in one dimension. It is shown that to lowest order and at long times, the leading term in the asymptotic result is that found for the random walk of a single biased...

Asymptotic forms for the expected number of distinct sites visited by an n-step random walk, being calculable for many random walks, have been used in a number of analyses of physical models. We describe three recent extensions of the problem, the first replacing the single random walker by...

We study the reaction front for the diffusion-reaction system A + B → C with initially separated reactants. We present analytical results for the form of the front and the exponents that characterize its width and height asymptotically, which appear to hold in d ⩾ 2. We also present...
