摘要:
We consider a system of independent one-dimensional random walkers where new particles are added at the origin at fixed rate whenever there is no older particle present at the origin. A Poisson ansatz leads to a semi-linear lattice heat equation and predicts that starting from the empty configuration the total number of particles grows as c root t logt. We confirm this prediction and also describe the asymptotic macroscopic profile of the particle configuration.
