Reaction-Diffusion dynamics in presence of active barrier: Pinhole sink

Abstract

In this article, we give a semi-analytic expression for survival probability when particles are diffusing in an active potential well. There is no analytic solution available in the literature, due to the requirement of inverse Laplace transform of the propagator, when a sink is placed at the uphill of the parabolic potential even in case of the localized sink. We also explain some of the physical aspects by using our solution.
