Abstract
A closed-form expression is obtained for the time evolution of the ter ritory covered by N independently diffusing particles starting from th e origin in one-dimension, with and without bias. For the latter case, the transcendental-approximation derived is essentially exact for any number of particles. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
