Run-and-tumble particles in slit geometry as a splitting probability problem
arXiv:2410.06393 · doi:10.1063/5.0233462
Abstract
Run-and-tumble particles confined between two walls seem like a simple enough problem to possess analytical tractability. Yet up to date, no satisfactory analysis is available for dimensions higher than one. This work contributes to the theoretical understanding of this system by reinterpreting it as a splitting probability problem. Such reinterpretation permits us to formulate the problem as the integral equation, rather than a more standard differential equation based on the Fokker-Planck equation. In addition to providing an analogy with another phenomenon, the reinterpretation permits a new type of analysis, yields useful results, and offers some analytical tractability.
