Dynamics of Phase Boundary with Particle Annihilation

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Infinitely many particles of two types ("plus" and "minus") jump randomly along the one-dimensional lattice Zε=εZ\mathbf{Z}_{\varepsilon}=\varepsilon\mathbf{Z}. Annihillations occur when two particles of different time occupy the same site. Assuming that at time t=0t=0 all "minus" particles are placed on the left of the origin and all "plus" particles are on the right of it, we study evolution of βε(t)β_\varepsilon(t), the boundary between two types. We prove that in large density limit ε→0ε\to 0 the boundary βε(t)β_\varepsilon(t) converges to a deterministic limit. This particle system can be interpreted as a microscopic model of price formation on economic markets with large number of players.
