Minimizers of the Lawrence–Doniach energy in the small-coupling limit : finite width samples in a parallel field
Miura opers and critical points of master functions
Critical points of a master function associated to a simple Lie algebra come in families called the populations [11]. We prove that a population is isomorphic to the flag variety of the Langlands dual Lie algebra . The proof is based on the correspondence between critical points and differential operators called the Miura opers. For a Miura oper D, associated with a critical point of a population, we show that all solutions of the differential equation DY=0 can be written explicitly in terms...
Mixed methods for the approximation of liquid crystal flows
The numerical solution of the flow of a liquid crystal governed by a particular instance of the Ericksen–Leslie equations is considered. Convergence results for this system rely crucially upon energy estimates which involve norms of the director field. We show how a mixed method may be used to eliminate the need for Hermite finite elements and establish convergence of the method.
Mixed Methods for the Approximation of Liquid Crystal Flows
The numerical solution of the flow of a liquid crystal governed by a particular instance of the Ericksen–Leslie equations is considered. Convergence results for this system rely crucially upon energy estimates which involve H2(Ω) norms of the director field. We show how a mixed method may be used to eliminate the need for Hermite finite elements and establish convergence of the method.
Mixing time for the Ising model : a uniform lower bound for all graphs
Consider Glauber dynamics for the Ising model on a graph of n vertices. Hayes and Sinclair showed that the mixing time for this dynamics is at least nlog n/f(Δ), where Δ is the maximum degree and f(Δ) = Θ(Δlog2Δ). Their result applies to more general spin systems, and in that generality, they showed that some dependence on Δ is necessary. In this paper, we focus on the ferromagnetic Ising model and prove that the mixing time of Glauber dynamics on any n-vertex graph is at least (1/4 + o(1))nlog n....

Modeling Morphogenesis in silico and in vitro: Towards Quantitative, Predictive, Cell-based Modeling
Cell-based, mathematical models help make sense of morphogenesis—i.e. cells organizing into shape and pattern—by capturing cell behavior in simple, purely descriptive models. Cell-based models then predict the tissue-level patterns the cells produce collectively. The first step in a cell-based modeling approach is to isolate sub-processes, e.g. the patterning capabilities of one or a few cell types in cell cultures. Cell-based models can then identify the mechanisms responsible for patterning in...

Modelling of Cancer Growth, Evolution and Invasion: Bridging Scales and Models
Since cancer is a complex phenomenon that incorporates events occurring on different length and time scales, therefore multiscale models are needed if we hope to adequately address cancer specific questions. In this paper we present three different multiscale individual-cell-based models, each motivated by cancer-related problems emerging from each of the spatial scales: extracellular, cellular or subcellular, but also incorporating relevant information from other levels. We apply these hybrid...

Moderate deviations for a Curie–Weiss model with dynamical external field
In the present paper we prove moderate deviations for a Curie–Weiss model with external magnetic field generated by a dynamical system, as introduced by Dombry and Guillotin-Plantard in [C. Dombry and N. Guillotin-Plantard, Markov Process. Related Fields 15 (2009) 1–30]. The results extend those already obtained for the Curie–Weiss model without external field by Eichelsbacher and Löwe in [P. Eichelsbacher and M. Löwe, Markov Process. Related Fields 10 (2004) 345–366]. The Curie–Weiss model with...
Molecular motors and stochastic networks
Molecular motors are nano- or colloidal machines that keep the living cell in a highly ordered, stationary state far from equilibrium. This self-organized order is sustained by the energy transduction of the motors, which couple exergonic or 'downhill' processes to endergonic or 'uphill' processes. A particularly interesting case is provided by the chemomechanical coupling of cytoskeletal motors which use the chemical energy released during ATP hydrolysis in order to generate mechanical forces and...
Molecular Simulation in the Canonical Ensemble and Beyond
In this paper, we discuss advanced thermostatting techniques for sampling molecular systems in the canonical ensemble. We first survey work on dynamical thermostatting methods, including the Nosé-Poincaré method, and generalized bath methods which introduce a more complicated extended model to obtain better ergodicity. We describe a general controlled temperature model, projective thermostatting molecular dynamics (PTMD) and demonstrate that it flexibly accommodates existing alternative thermostatting...

Motion of spiral-shaped polygonal curves by nonlinear crystalline motion with a rotating tip motion
We consider a motion of spiral-shaped piecewise linear curves governed by a crystalline curvature flow with a driving force and a tip motion which is a simple model of a step motion of a crystal surface. We extend our previous result on global existence of a spiral-shaped solution to a linear crystalline motion for a power type nonlinear crystalline motion with a given rotating tip motion. We show that self-intersection of the solution curves never occurs and also show that facet extinction never...
