I did find and consider this solution after posting my question. I disagree with the way this solution treats the evolution of the problem. Me and a college each wrote a small program to simulate this process and both of us independently found that the probability diverges to either all...

Homework Statement A 1-D lattice consists of a linear array of N particles (N>>1) interacting via spring-like nearest neighbor forces. The normal node frequencies are given by \omega_n=\omega_0\sqrt{\,\,2-2\cos\left(2\pi n/N\right)} where \omega_0 is a constant and n an integer ranging...

Homework Statement 500 blue and 500 orange bacteria are placed in a growth medium. Each bacterium divides every hour. A predator eats exactly 1000 bacteria per hour irrespective of color. a) What is the ultimate probability distribution for the colors of bacteria in the growth medium? b) How...
