Abstract
The reaction-diffusion processes occur in systems comprising particles, atoms or molecules of various types which diffuse and can react with each other. However, we will study only systems constituted by particles of a single type. Thus the possible reaction involve the annihilation or creation of particles of the same type. The particles are located on the sites of a regular lattice, moving at random from one site to another, and capable of react when next to each other. We will restrict to the case in which each site can be occupied by at most one particle.
