Abstract

If particles are dropped randomly on a lattice, with a placement being cancelled if the site in question or a nearest neighbor is already occupied, an ensemble of restricted random walks is created. We seek the time dependence of the expected occupation of a given site. It is shown that this problem reduces to one of enumerating walks from the given site in which a move can only be made to a previously occupied site or one of its nearest neighbors.
