โฆ Synopsis
We study the effect of a field on the span of a particle diffusing on a line, i.e., the length covered by a Brownian particle which moves on a line for time t in the presence of a constant field. This is the one-dimensional analog of the Wiener sausage volume. Exact expressions are found for the probability density for the span together with the first two moments. Our results indicate that at very short times the dominant effect is diffusion while at very long times the field plays the dominant role.

We study the limiting behavior of the solution of with a Neumann boundary condition or an appropriate Dirichlet condition. The analysis is based on "energy methods". We assume that the initial data has a "transition layer structure", i.e., u' = f 1 except near finitely many transition points. We sh
