1.4.4.3 Some computations on particle distribution

At equilibrium, that is, under the invariant law, the c01-math-0972 are uniform on c01-math-0973 and hence, the c01-math-0974 for c01-math-0975 are i.i.d. uniform on c01-math-0976. The strong law of large numbers and the central limit theorem then yield that

equation

Hence, as c01-math-0978 goes to infinity, the instantaneous proportion of molecules in each compartment converges to c01-math-0979 with fluctuations of order c01-math-0980. For instance,

equation

and as a numerical illustration, as , the choice and yields that and hence

For an arbitrary initial law, ...
