Kinetic pinning and biological antifreezes
Leonard M. Sander, Alexei V. Tkachenko
Biological antifreezes protect cold-water organisms from freezing. An example are the antifreeze proteins (AFPs) that attach to the surface of ice crystals and arrest growth. The m…
Growth by Random Walker Sampling, and Scaling of the Dielectric Breakdown Model
Ellak Somfai, Nicholas R. Goold, Robin C. Ball +2
Random walkers absorbing on a boundary sample the Harmonic Measure linearly and independently: we discuss how the recurrence times between impacts enable non-linear moments of the…
Extinction times for birth-death processes: exact results, continuum asymptotics, and the failure of the Fokker-Planck approximation
Charles R. Doering, Khachik V. Sargsyan, Leonard M. Sander
We consider extinction times for a class of birth-death processes commonly found in applications, where there is a control parameter which determines whether the population quickly…
