Large-deviation simulation of the Brownian Bee model — •Hartmut Schoon and Alexander K. Hartmann — Institut für Physik, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, 26111 Oldenburg, Germany

The Brownian Bee model is a version of Branching Brownian motion, evolving into a nonequilibrium steady state. The model consists of N particles performing independent Brownian motion. Every particle has the ability to randomly branch and create a new particle at the same position. At those branching events the farthest particle from its origin will be deleted, resulting in a conservation of the particle count. Berestycki et al. [1] showed that at long times the particles form a spherical steady state with radius l₀ which depends on the spatial dimension d. Meerson and Sasorov [2] investigated the probability P(l, N, T) of the maximum distance l of a particle from the origin within a very large time interval 0<t<T. They concluded, that this probability follows a large-deviation form −lnP(l, N, T) ≃ NTR_d(l). Asymptotics for the rate function R_d(l) were provided for l≪ l₀ and l ≫ l₀ and a full analytical solution is given for d=1. We implemented Brownian Bees numerically and computed P(l, N, T) by a large-deviation simulation [3] for various dimensionalities d which allowed us to obtain the distribution down to exponential small probability densities like P ∼ 10⁻¹⁰⁰.
