Abstract

A class of two-species (three-states) bimolecular diffusion-limited models of classical particles with hard-core reacting and diffusing in a hypercubic lattice of arbitrary dimension is investigated. The manifolds on which the equations of motion of the correlation functions close, are determined explicitly. This property allows to solve for the density and the two-point (two-time) correlation functions in arbitrary dimension for both, a translation invariant class and another one where translation invariance is broken. Systems with correlated as well as uncorrelated, yet random initial states can also be treated exactly by this approach. We discuss the asymptotic behavior of density and correlation functions in the various cases. The dynamics studied is very rich.
