Bad convergence of 1D Greens functions

[TheJoris]

Issue partly solved, see below.

1D Greens Functions converge badly when drawing a new center of mass (drawR) after a SINGLE_REACTION or a IV_REACTION with a large domain size L. Where L is large as in L^2/(D t) >> 1. Both these events can return very small dt's (for a small IV domain or large dissociation constant).

Because for D t << L^2, the particle "doesn't see" the absorbing boundary and we can use the free 1D greens function. So, just as with the 3D functions, we could use different greens functions for particles far away from the boundary(s).

sounds good!

Yes, see pdf document with all the green's functions.

Issue Solved: The 1DAbsAbs::drawR function now checks if H*sqrt(2Dt) < (L - r0 - vt); or is it likely for the particle positioned at r0 with a drift v, to reach the right boundary at L in a time t. We use a cutoff H.

If the particle is many (now set at H = 6) standard deviations away from both of the boundaries, it draws a new position from the free greens function.

Things to do is:

• Test this approximation.
• Solve convergence issues is 1DRadAbs::drawTime/flux_tot/prob_r
