The mean-field limit for the dynamics of large particle systems

François Golse (2003)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

This short course explains how the usual mean-field evolution PDEs in Statistical Physics - such as the Vlasov-Poisson, Schrödinger-Poisson or time-dependent Hartree-Fock equations - are rigorously derived from first principles, i.e. from the fundamental microscopic models that govern the evolution of large, interacting particle systems.

Technicalities in the calculation of the 3rd post-Newtonian dynamics

Piotr Jaranowski (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Dynamics of a point-particle system interacting gravitationally according to the general theory of relativity can be analyzed within the canonical formalism of Arnowitt, Deser, and Misner. To describe the property of being a point particle one can employ Dirac delta distribution in the energy-momentum tensor of the system. We report some mathematical difficulties which arise in deriving the 3rd post-Newtonian Hamilton's function for such a system. We also offer ways to overcome partially...

Geometrical methods in hydrodynamics

Adrian Constantin (2001)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

We describe some recent results on a specific nonlinear hydrodynamical problem where the geometric approach gives insight into a variety of aspects.
