On fully practical finite element approximations of degenerate Cahn-Hilliard systems

John W. Barrett, James F. Blowey, Harald Garcke (2001)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We consider a model for phase separation of a multi-component alloy with non-smooth free energy and a degenerate mobility matrix. In addition to showing well-posedness and stability bounds for our approximation, we prove convergence in one space dimension. Furthermore an iterative scheme for solving the resulting nonlinear discrete system is analysed. We discuss also how our approximation has to be modified in order to be applicable to a logarithmic free energy. Finally numerical experiments with...

On numerical solution to the problem of reactor kinetics with delayed neutrons by Monte Carlo method

Jan Kyncl (1994)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, the linear problem of reactor kinetics with delayed neutrons is studied whose formulation is based on the integral transport equation. Besides the proof of existence and uniqueness of the solution, a special random process and random variables for numerical elaboration of the problem by Monte Carlo method are presented. It is proved that these variables give an unbiased estimate of the solution and that their expectations and variances are finite.

On quenched and annealed critical curves of random pinning model with finite range correlations

Julien Poisat (2013)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

This paper focuses on directed polymers pinned at a disordered and correlated interface. We assume that the disorder sequence is a q -order moving average and show that the critical curve of the annealed model can be expressed in terms of the Perron–Frobenius eigenvalue of an explicit transfer matrix, which generalizes the annealed bound of the critical curve for i.i.d. disorder. We provide explicit values of the annealed critical curve for q = 1 and q = 2 and a weak disorder asymptotic in the general case....
