Abstract:Persistence, defined as the probability that a fluctuating signal has not reached a threshold up to a given observation time, plays a crucial role in the theory of random processes 1,2 . It quantifies the kinetics of processes as varied as phase ordering, reaction diffusion or interface relaxation dynamics. The fact that persistence can decay algebraically with time with non trivial exponents has triggered a number of experimental 3-7 and theoretical 8-18 studies. However, general analytical methods to calcula… Show more
