Abstract

The dynamical behaviour of particles which undergo diffusion with annihilation is modelled by a parabolic (Fokker–Planck) equation. Fundamental, closed-form solutions of this equation, identified with transition densities of the underlying stochastic process, are calculated by utilizing specific methods of probability measures on functional spaces and evolution semigroups.
