The funnel trap paradox

Please always quote using this URN: urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-14765
  • In this article, an illustrative example is given for the coarse-graining of a Markov process which leads to a shift in the statistical weights of a two-states-system. The example is based on a 2D-funnel trap. The funnel trap is constructed in such a way, that the area inside and outside of the trap is identical. However, observing the flight of the insect as a Markov process, the probability for being “in the trap” is higher. This example can be transferred to several kinds of processes (like receptor-ligandbinding processes in chemistry) and describes the influence of “re-entering events”.
