Title: Anisotropic diffusion in media with absorbing traps (application to the Keller–Dykhne theorem)

Journal Article · · Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

Anisotropic diffusion in multidimensional media with absorbing traps is investigated. It is shown that the diffusion asymptotic forms of the survival probability over long time intervals are determined by a new effective diffusion coefficient. Exact expressions derived for the effective diffusion coefficient generalize the well-known Dykhne–Keller 2D results to the 3D case. In other words, the dynamic diffusion approach is used for obtaining a generalization of the Dykhne–Keller theorem to the 3D case.
