Kinetics of first passage in a cone
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We study statistics of first passage inside a cone in arbitrary spatial dimension. The probability that a diffusing particle avoids the cone boundary decays algebraically with time. The decay exponent depends on two variables: the opening angle of the cone and the spatial dimension. In four dimensions, we find an explicit expression for the exponent, and in general, we obtain it as a root of a transcendental equation involving associated Legendre functions. At large dimensions, the decay exponent depends on a single scaling variable, while roots of the parabolic cylinder function specify the scaling function. Consequently, the exponent is of order one only if the cone surface is very close to a plane. We also perform asymptotic analysis for extremely thin and extremely wide cones.
