Simulating Kinetic Processes in Time and Space on a Lattice

J. P. Gill, K. M. Shaw, B. L. Rountree, C. E. Kehl, H. J. Chiel (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We have developed a chemical kinetics simulation that can be used as both an educational and research tool. The simulator is designed as an accessible, open-source project that can be run on a laptop with a student-friendly interface. The application can potentially be scaled to run in parallel for large simulations. The simulation has been successfully used in a classroom setting for teaching basic electrochemical properties. We have shown that...

Singularities, defects and chaos in organized fluids

Roland Ribotta, Ahmed Belaidi, Alain Joets (2003)

Banach Center Publications

The singularities occurring in any sort of ordering are known in physics as defects. In an organized fluid defects may occur both at microscopic (molecular) and at macroscopic scales when hydrodynamic ordered structures are developed. Such a fluid system serves as a model for the study of the evolution towards a strong disorder (chaos) and it is found that the singularities play an important role in the nature of the chaos. Moreover both types of defects become coupled at the onset of turbulence....

SLE et invariance conforme

Jean Bertoin (2003/2004)

Séminaire Bourbaki

Les processus de Schramm-Loewner (SLE) induisent des courbes aléatoires du plan complexe, qui vérifient une propriété d’invariance conforme. Ce sont des outils fondamentaux pour la compréhension du comportement asymptotique en régime critique de certains modèles discrets intervenant en physique statistique ; ils ont permis notamment d’établir rigoureusement certaines conjectures importantes dans ce domaine.

Slowdown estimates and central limit theorem for random walks in random environment

Alain-Sol Sznitman (2000)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

This work is concerned with asymptotic properties of multi-dimensional random walks in random environment. Under Kalikow’s condition, we show a central limit theorem for random walks in random environment on ℤ d , when d > 2 . We also derive tail estimates on the probability of slowdowns. These latter estimates are of special interest due to the natural interplay between slowdowns and the presence of traps in the medium. The tail behavior of the renewal time constructed in [25] plays an important role in...

Smallness problem for quantum affine algebras and quiver varieties

David Hernandez (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

The geometric small property (Borho-MacPherson [2]) of projective morphisms implies a description of their singularities in terms of intersection homology. In this paper we solve the smallness problem raised by Nakajima [37, 35] for certain resolutions of quiver varieties [37] (analogs of the Springer resolution): for Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules of simply-laced quantum affine algebras, we characterize explicitly the Drinfeld polynomials corresponding to the small resolutions. We use an elimination...

Soft local times and decoupling of random interlacements

Serguei Popov, Augusto Teixeira (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

In this paper we establish a decoupling feature of the random interlacement process ℐ u ⊂ ℤ d at level u , d ≥ 3 . Roughly speaking, we show that observations of ℐ u restricted to two disjoint subsets A 1 and A 2 of ℤ d are approximately independent, once we add a sprinkling to the process ℐ u by slightly increasing the parameter u . Our results differ from previous ones in that we allow the mutual distance between the sets A 1 and A 2 to be much smaller than their diameters. We then provide an important application of this...

Solutions to the XXX type Bethe ansatz equations and flag varieties

E. Mukhin, A. Varchenko (2003)

Open Mathematics

We consider a version of the A N Bethe equation of XXX type and introduce a reporduction procedure constructing new solutions of this equation from a given one. The set of all solutions obtained from a given one is called a population. We show that a population is isomorphic to the sl N+1 flag variety and that the populations are in one-to-one correspondence with intersection points of suitable Schubert cycles in a Grassmanian variety. We also obtain similar results for the root systems B N and...

Solving the Cahn-Hilliard variational inequality with a semi-smooth Newton method

Luise Blank, Martin Butz, Harald Garcke (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The Cahn-Hilliard variational inequality is a non-standard parabolic variational inequality of fourth order for which straightforward numerical approaches cannot be applied. We propose a primal-dual active set method which can be interpreted as a semi-smooth Newton method as solution technique for the discretized Cahn-Hilliard variational inequality. A (semi-)implicit Euler discretization is used in time and a piecewise linear finite element discretization of splitting type is used in space leading...
