Diffusion-controlled reactions with time-dependent surface reactivity

Denis S. Grebenkov, Yilin Ye

We investigate diffusion-controlled reactions on a reactive surface with time-dependent reactivity. Starting from a conventional formulation via diffusion equation with Robin bound…

Minimizing capture time with many small traps in heterogeneous media

Denis S. Grebenkov, Theodore Kolokolnikov

We study the problem of optimally placing a large number of small absorbing traps to minimize the mean first-passage time (MFPT) of particles diffusing in a heterogeneous medium wi…

Encounter Propagator for Multiple Targets: A Dirichlet-to-Neumann Spectral Formalism

Denis S. Grebenkov

We develop an encounter-based formulation of restricted diffusion in a bounded domain with multiple targets, resolving separately the boundary local time accumulated on each target…

Survival in a partially reactive wedge

Denis S. Grebenkov

We investigate the power-law decay of the survival probability of a Brownian particle diffusing in an infinite planar wedge whose two sides are partially reactive and described by…

Comparison inequalities for Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps

Denis S. Grebenkov, Michael Levitin, Karl-Mikael Perfekt +1

We prove comparison inequalities for Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps corresponding to different non-positive Helmholtz parameters. For convex domains our bounds are sharp, and the result…

Asymptotic Analysis of the Narrow Escape and Berg-Purcell problems on general three-dimensional domains with reactive boundary patches

A. E. Lindsay, A. J. Bernoff, D. S. Grebenkov +2

We present an asymptotic analysis of two diffusive capture problems in general smooth closed three-dimensional geometries with multiple small reactive boundary patches of arbitrary…

Surviving the Attack of the Clones

Denis S. Grebenkov

We consider a population dynamics model in which each diffusing particle that hits a catalytic surface can split into two independent copies (clones). The particles of such a growi…

Diffusion-Driven Surface Autocatalysis in Exterior Domains

Denis S. Grebenkov

We study the collective dynamics of independent particles that diffuse outside a spherical surface, on which they are replicated with a prescribed catalytic rate. In spatial dimens…

Population dynamics of surface-mediated autocatalytic processes

Denis S. Grebenkov, Yilin Ye

We investigate the population dynamics of surface-mediated autocatalytic processes, in which particles diffuse in a complex environment towards surface regions where they can be ei…

Spectral properties of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the Helmholtz equation

Denis S. Grebenkov, Michael Levitin, Iosif Polterovich

The study of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map and the associated Steklov problem for the Laplace equation has been a central topic in spectral geometry over the past decade. In this su…

Reaction-Diffusion Processes with Surface Autocatalysis

Denis S. Grebenkov

Autocatalytic processes underlie diverse systems in which replication is triggered at interfaces, including heterogeneous catalysis on solid substrates, enzyme activity at membrane…

A unifying approach to diffusive transport in annealed heterogeneous media

Yann Lanoiselée, Denis S. Grebenkov, Gianni Pagnini

We introduce the concept of Randomly Modulated Gaussian Processes as a unifying framework for elaborating, analyzing and classifying anomalous diffusion models in annealed heteroge…
