Solution formula for the general birth-death chemical diffusion master equation (2302.10700v1)

Abstract: We propose a solution formula for chemical diffusion master equations of birth and death type. These equations, proposed and formalized in the paper [5], aim at incorporating the spatial diffusion of molecules into the description provided by the classical chemical master equation. We start from the general approach developed in [20] and perform a more detailed analysis of the representation found there. This leads to a solution formula for birth-death chemical diffusion master equations which is expressed in terms of the solution to the reaction-diffusion partial differential equation associated with the system under investigation. Such representation also reveals a striking analogy with the solution to the classical birth-death chemical master equations. The solutions of our findings are also illustrated for several examples.
