The Local Time Distribution of a Particle Diffusing on a Graph

arXiv:cond-mat/0209119 · doi:10.1088/0305-4470/35/47/102

Abstract

We study the local time distribution of a Brownian particle diffusing along the links on a graph. In particular, we derive an analytic expression of its Laplace transform in terms of the Green's function on the graph. We show that the asymptotic behavior of this distribution has non-Gaussian tails characterized by a nontrivial large deviation function.
