Around 3D Boltzmann non linear operator without angular cutoff, a new formulation

Radjesvarane Alexandre (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We propose a new formulation of the 3D Boltzmann non linear operator, without assuming Grad's angular cutoff hypothesis, and for intermolecular laws behaving as 1/, with . It involves natural pseudo differential operators, under a form which is analogous to the Landau operator. It may be used in the study of the associated equations, and more precisely in the non homogeneous framework.

A Variational Problem Modelling Behavior of Unorthodox Silicon Crystals

J. Hannon, M. Marcus, Victor J. Mizel (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

Controlling growth at crystalline surfaces requires a detailed and quantitative understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters governing mass transport. Many of these parameters can be determined by analyzing the isothermal wandering of steps at a vicinal [“step-terrace”] type surface [for a recent review see [4]]. In the case of crystals one finds that these meanderings develop larger amplitudes as the equilibrium temperature is raised (as is consistent with the statistical...

A multi-D model for Raman amplification

Mathieu Colin, Thierry Colin (2011)

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

Similarity:

In this paper, we continue the study of the Raman amplification in plasmas that we initiated in [Colin and Colin, 17 (2004) 297–330; Colin and Colin, 193 (2006) 535–562]. We point out that the Raman instability gives rise to three components. The first one is collinear to the incident laser pulse and counter propagates. In 2-D, the two other ones make a non-zero angle with the initial pulse and propagate forward. Furthermore they are symmetric with respect to the direction of propagation...

Interface model coupling via prescribed local flux balance

Annalisa Ambroso, Christophe Chalons, Frédéric Coquel, Thomas Galié (2014)

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

Similarity:

This paper deals with the non-conservative coupling of two one-dimensional barotropic Euler systems at an interface at = 0. The closure pressure laws differ in the domains < 0 and > 0, and a Dirac source term concentrated at = 0 models singular pressure losses. We propose two numerical methods. The first one relies on ghost state reconstructions at the interface while the second is based on a suitable relaxation framework. Both methods satisfy a well-balanced property...

The Kaṭapayādi system of numerical notation and its spread outside Kerala

Sreeramula Rajeswara Sarma (2012)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Similarity:

While the study of the transmission of scientific ideas from and to India has its own importance, it is also necessary to examine the transmission of ideas within India, from one region to another, from Sanskrit to regional languages and vice versa. This paper attempts to map the spread of the system of numerical notation, widely popular in Kerala, to other parts of India, and shows that this very useful tool of mathematical notation, though well known in northern India, was rarely...

On the binding of polarons in a mean-field quantum crystal

Mathieu Lewin, Nicolas Rougerie (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We consider a multi-polaron model obtained by coupling the many-body Schrödinger equation for interacting electrons with the energy functional of a mean-field crystal with a localized defect, obtaining a highly non linear many-body problem. The physical picture is that the electrons constitute a charge defect in an otherwise perfect periodic crystal. A remarkable feature of such a system is the possibility to form a bound state of electrons via their interaction with the polarizable...

Derivation of Langevin dynamics in a nonzero background flow field

Matthew Dobson, Frédéric Legoll, Tony Lelièvre, Gabriel Stoltz (2013)

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

Similarity:

We propose a derivation of a nonequilibrium Langevin dynamics for a large particle immersed in a background flow field. A single large particle is placed in an ideal gas heat bath composed of point particles that are distributed consistently with the background flow field and that interact with the large particle through elastic collisions. In the limit of small bath atom mass, the large particle dynamics converges in law to a stochastic dynamics. This derivation follows the ideas of...

Transition de dépiégeage élastique de vortex supraconducteurs

Enrick Olive, Nicolas Di Scala, Yves Lansac, Yaouen Fily, Jean-Claude Soret (2012)

ESAIM: Proceedings

Similarity:

We present 2D numerical simulation results of superconductor vortex lattices driven over a random disorder. The vortex dynamics at the depinning threshold is studied at zero temperature in the case of weak disorder. The dynamics is elastic and the depinning transition is analysed in the framework of a second order phase transition where the velocity response to the driving force behaves like  ~ ( −  ...

The continuous Coupled Cluster formulation for the electronic Schrödinger equation

Thorsten Rohwedder (2013)

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

Similarity:

Nowadays, the Coupled Cluster (CC) method is the probably most widely used high precision method for the solution of the main equation of electronic structure calculation, the . Traditionally, the equations of CC are formulated as a nonlinear approximation of a Galerkin solution of the electronic Schrödinger equation, within a given discrete subspace. Unfortunately, this concept prohibits the direct application of concepts of nonlinear numerical analysis to obtain existence and uniqueness...

Convolutive decomposition and fast summation methods for discrete-velocity approximations of the Boltzmann equation

Clément Mouhot, Lorenzo Pareschi, Thomas Rey (2013)

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

Similarity:

Discrete-velocity approximations represent a popular way for computing the Boltzmann collision operator. The direct numerical evaluation of such methods involve a prohibitive cost, typically ( ) where is the dimension of the velocity space. In this paper, following the ideas introduced in [C. Mouhot and L. Pareschi, 339 (2004) 71–76, C. Mouhot and L. Pareschi, 75 (2006) 1833–1852], we derive fast summation techniques for the evaluation of discrete-velocity schemes which...

Analysis of an Asymptotic Preserving Scheme for Relaxation Systems

Francis Filbet, Amélie Rambaud (2013)

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

Similarity:

We consider an asymptotic preserving numerical scheme initially proposed by F. Filbet and S. Jin [229 (2010)] and G. Dimarco and L. Pareschi [49 (2011) 2057–2077] in the context of nonlinear and stiff kinetic equations. Here, we propose a convergence analysis of such a scheme for the approximation of a system of transport equations with a nonlinear source term, for which the asymptotic limit is given by a conservation law. We investigate the convergence of the approximate solution ( ...
