Abstract
We present in this paper a theoretical study for the survival probabil ity of a system of independent walkers in the presence of a dynamic tr ap by using the multistate continuous-time random-walk approach. The r esults presented are exact for any switching-time probability density controlling the dynamic of the trap, in the one-dimensional case witho ut bias. The influence of a non-Markovian dynamic for the trap is pres ented and a comparison with a finite relaxation model is established f or the long-time limit.
