An exactly solvable predator prey model with resetting [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
We study a simple model of a diffusing particle (the prey) that on encounter with one of a swarm of diffusing predators can either perish or be reset to its original position at the origin. We show that the survival probability of the prey up to time $t$ decays algebraically as ${\}sim t{\textasciicircum}\{-{\}theta(p, {\}gamma)\}$ where the exponent ${\}theta$ depends continuously on two parameters of the model, with $p$ denoting the probability that a prey survives upon encounter with a predator and ${\}gamma = D_A/(D_A+D_B)$ where $D_A$ and $D_B$ are the diffusion constants of the prey and the predator respectively. We also compute exactly the probability distribution $P(N{\textbar}t_c)$ of the total number of encounters till the capture time $t_c$ and show that it exhibits an anomalous large deviation form $P(N{\textbar}t_c){\}sim t_c{\textasciicircum}\{- {\}Phi{\}left({\}frac\{N\}\{{\}ln t_c\}=z{\}right)\}$ for large $t_c$. The rate function ${\}Phi(z)$ is computed explicitly. Numerical simulations are in excellent agreement with our analytical results.
