Solution of a one-dimensional stochastic model with branching and coagulation reactions

Abstract

We solve an one-dimensional stochastic model of interacting particles on a chain. Particles can have branching and coagulation reactions, they can also appear on an empty site and disappear spontaneously. This model which can be viewed as an epidemic model and/or as a generalization of the {\it voter} model, is treated analytically beyond the {\it conventional} solvable situations. With help of a suitably chosen {\it string function}, which is simply related to the density and the non-instantaneous two-point correlation functions of the particles, exact expressions of the density and of the non-instantaneous two-point correlation functions, as well as the relaxation spectrum are obtained on a finite and periodic lattice.
