Abstract:

Information transmission by diffusing particles is crucial in many biophysical and artificial systems. The factors that make a diffusive model an optimal choice in a given context remain elusive and vital in narrowing the search space for context-specific applications. This study explores a class of diffusion-reaction paradigms on different performance objectives. Precisely, we compare the robustness, characteristic length scale, and stochastic variability of the competing transport models considering the mesoscopic and microscopic views of the transport, asking whether the entrapment of diffusing molecules improves the reliability of the diffusive transport models.
