Abstract

The kinetics of a diffusing particle near a reversible trap may be described by an extension of the Feynman-Kac equation to the case of reversible binding, which can occur within a finite reaction sphere. We obtain the Greens function solution for the Laplace transform of this equation when the particle is initially either bound or unbound. We study the solution in the time-domain by either inverting the Laplace transform numerically or propagating the partial differential equation in the time-domain. We show that integrals of this solution over the reaction sphere agree with previously obtained solutions.
