The Effective Reactivity for Capturing Brownian Motion by Partially Reactive Patches on a Spherical Surface
Denis S. Grebenkov, Michael J. Ward
We analyze the trapping of diffusing ligands, modeled as Brownian particles, by a sphere that has partially reactive boundary patches, each of small area and arbitrary shape, o…

Competition of small targets in planar domains: from Dirichlet to Robin and Steklov boundary condition
Denis S. Grebenkov, Michael J. Ward
We consider steady-state diffusion in a bounded planar domain with multiple small targets on a smooth boundary. Using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, we investigate th…
