where we have defined
and
, according to (22), is given by
A simple algebraic manipulation yields, for
:
where
. We can then define the rescaled diffusion coefficient:
In certain cases there are conserved quantities in the system that allow
to write
as a function of
. In particular, this is the case for the situation previously discussed
in the literature in which the fast reaction is of the form
. Then, the original set of evolution equations (1)-(3)
read:
so that the quantity
remains constant during the whole evolution. Thus, we conclude that
also remains constant. Setting
and using Eq. (51), which in this
case reads
, we obtain that
. Therefore, the rescaled diffusion coefficient (57)
can be rewritten as:
which, in the limit of
reduces to the values obtained in
.
