Abstract: | Summary A particle is considered which moves in d according to a Brownian motion with drifth0. The space is assumed to contain random traps. The probability of survival of the particle up to timeT decays exponentially asT with a positive decay rate . is shown to be a non-analytic function of |h|. For small |h| the decay rate is given by (h)=1/2|h|2; but if |h| exceeds a certain critical value, (h) depends also on the parameters describing trapping. Upper and lower bounds for (h) are given, which imply the asymptotic linearity of (h) for large |h|. The critical point marks a transition from localized to delocalized behavior. A variational formula for the decay rate is given on the level of generalized processes, which elucidates the mathematical mechanism behind observations made earlier by Grassberger and Procaccia on the basis of computer simulations.Supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft |
