Speed fluctuations of a stochastic Huxley-Zel'dovich front

Evgeniy Khain, Baruch Meerson, Pavel V. Sasorov

The empirical speed of travelling reaction-diffusion fronts fluctuates due to the intrinsic shot noise of the reactions and diffusion. Here we study the long-time front speed fluct…

Finite-time blowup of a Brownian particle in a repulsive potential

P. L. Krapivsky, Baruch Meerson

We consider a Brownian particle performing an overdamped motion in a power-law repulsive potential. If the potential grows with the distance faster than quadratically, the particle…
