Correlation functions for diffusion-limited annihilation, A+A→0 -: art. no. 062102

The full hierarchy of multiple-point correlation functions for diffusion-limited annihilation, A + A --> 0, is obtained analytically and explicitly, following the method of intervals. In the long-time asymptotic limit, the correlation functions of annihilation are identical to those of coalescence, A + A --> A, despite differences between the two models in other statistical measures, such as the interparticle distribution function.
