From single-particle stochastic kinetics to macroscopic reaction rates: fastest first-passage time of N random walkers

We consider the first-passage problem for N identical independent particles that are initially released uniformly in a finite domain Ω and then diffuse toward a reactive area Γ, which can be part of the outer boundary of Ω or a reaction centre in the interior of Ω. For both cases of perfect and part...
