Abstract
We study the kinetics of two-species annihilation A + B --> 0, with di chotomic and continuous initial velocity distributions in one dimensio n. For a discrete model, the concentration and the domain size are fou nd to change as C(A) (t) approximately t-0.497 and v(AB)(t)approximate ly t0.088, respectively; the decay of concentration is accounted for b y a simple analysis. For a continuous model, a scaling relation for th e exponents, which describe the decay kinetics and spatial structure o f the system, is found to hold in one dimension.
