Monotonicity, convexity and limiting value of Lyapunov exponents for the voter model

At least 18 years old · documented by

Let λp(κ)\lambda_p(\kappa) be the ppth Lyapunov exponent of the voter-model catalyst, where κ∈[0,∞)\kappa\in[0,\infty) is the reactant diffusion constant, p∈Np\in\mathbb{N}, and ρ∈(0,1)\rho\in(0,1) and γ>0\gamma>0 are model parameters.

Voter-model Lyapunov-exponent conjecture. On [0,∞)[0,\infty), κ↦λp(κ)\kappa\mapsto\lambda_p(\kappa) is strictly decreasing and convex, with

lim⁡κ→∞λp(κ)=ργ.\lim_{\kappa\to\infty}\lambda_p(\kappa)=\rho\gamma.

The paper notes that the analogous properties are known for the independent simple random walk and simple exclusion process catalysts. Their validity for the voter model is left as a conjecture.
