AbstractWe study the behavior of three “vicious” random walkers which diffuse freely in one dimension witharbitrary diffusivitiesb12,b22,b32, except that their paths may not cross. The full distribution function is calculated exactly in the continuum limit; the exponent ψ3 governing the decay of the probability
$$R_n^{(3)} sim 1/n^{psi _3 } $$
of a simultaneousreunion of all three walkers aftern steps is found to varycontinuously according to
$$psi _3 = 1 + pi /cos ^{ - 1} left{ {b_2^2 /left[ {(b_1^2 + b_2^2 )(b_2^2 + b_3^2 )}
ight]^{1/2} }
ight}$$
. This variation has consequences for various interfacial wetting transitions in (1+1) dimensions. It may also be related heuristically to the marginality of direct interface-wall interactions decaying asW0/l2 in the intermediate fluctuation regime of (1+1)-dimensional wetting, where exponents varying continuously withW0 have recently been found.
