Exit probability and first passage time of a lazy Pearson walker: Scaling behaviour

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

The motion of a lazy Pearson walker is studied with different probability (pp) of jump in two and three dimensions. The probability of exit (PeP_e) from a zone of radius rer_e, is studied as a function of rer_e with different values of jump probability pp. The exit probability PeP_e is found to scale as Pepα=F(repβ){P_e}p^α=F({r_e}p^β), which is obtained by method of data collapse. The first passage time (t1t_1) i.e., the time required for first exit from a zone is studied. The probability distribution (P(t1)P(t_1)) of first passage time was studied for different values of jump probability (pp). The probability distribution of first passage time was found to scale as P(t1)pγ=G(t1pδ){P(t_1)}p^γ = G({t_1}p^δ). Where, FF and GG are two scaling functions and αα, ββ, γγ and δδ are some exponents. In both the dimensions, it is found that, α=0α= 0, β=−1/2β=-1/2, γ=−1γ=-1 and δ=1δ=1.
