Abstract

Erdos and Ney introduced a discrete time annihilating particle model on the integer lattice and conjectured that, starting from an initial state of a particle at each lattice site except the origin, the probability a particle ever hits the origin is 1. This paper proves this conjecture for the continuous time version of their model.
