Diffusion on a Sphere with Localized Traps: Mean First Passage Time, Eigenvalue Asymptotics, and Fekete Points

Diffusion on a Sphere with Localized Traps: Mean First Passage Time, Eigenvalue Asymptotics, and Fekete Points

A common scenario in cellular signal transduction is that a diffusing surface-bound molecule must arrive at a localized signaling region on the cell membrane before the signaling cascade can be completed. The question then arises of how quickly such signaling molecules can arrive at newly formed signaling regions. Here, we …
