Law of large numbers and central limit theorem for linear chemical reactions with diffusion (Q1113183)

The models of chemical reaction which take into account the spatial inhomogeneity and the diffusion phenomena are classically of two kinds. The deterministic models are described in terms of partial differential equations, and the stochastic models, based on a space-discretization, are described in terms of space-time jump Markov processes. The object of this paper is to relate these two kinds of models by a law of large numbers, and to prove a functional central limit theorem.
