Question
This physicist names a theory that predicts an effective rate equation for a two-particle annihilating random walk. That theory named for this physicist calculates the flux at a particle’s surface to give a stochastic balance equation for diffusion-limited cluster aggregation. One equation named for this physicist, which is a specific case of the Kolmogorov-forward equation, features a position-dependent force and constant (*) diffusion coefficient and is the simplest drift–diffusion equation. A 1912 paper by this physicist introduced the concept of rectifying fluctuations to generate work, which Feynman later popularized as a “ratchet-and-pawl” system. The fluctuation–dissipation theorem for a memoryless system yields the equation “D equals mu times T,” which is named for Einstein and this physicist. For 10 points, name this pioneering Polish statistical physicist. ■END■
