Hypocoercive Diffusion Operators

Cédric Villani (2007)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

In many problems coming from mathematical physics, the association of a degenerate diffusion operator with a conservative operator may lead to dissipation in all variables and convergence to equilibrium. One can draw an analogy with the well-studied phenomenon of hypoellipticity in regularity theory, and actually both phenomena have been studied together. Now a distinctive theory of ``hypocoercivity'' is starting to emerge, with already some striking results, and several challenging...

Exponential convergence to equilibrium Lyapounov functionals for reaction-diffusion equations arising from non reversible chemical kinetics

Marzia Bisi, Laurent Desvillettes, Giampiero Spiga (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:


We show that the entropy method, that has been used successfully in order to prove exponential convergence towards equilibrium with explicit constants in many contexts, among which reaction-diffusion systems coming out of reversible chemistry, can also be used when one considers a reaction-diffusion system corresponding to an irreversible mechanism of dissociation/recombination, for which no natural entropy is available.


Homogenization and Diffusion Asymptotics of the Linear Boltzmann Equation

Thierry Goudon, Antoine Mellet (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We investigate the diffusion limit for general conservative Boltzmann equations with oscillating coefficients. Oscillations have a frequency of the same order as the inverse of the mean free path, and the coefficients may depend on both slow and fast variables. Passing to the limit, we are led to an effective drift-diffusion equation. We also describe the diffusive behaviour when the equilibrium function has a non-vanishing flux.

A solution of nonlinear diffusion problems by semilinear reaction-diffusion systems

Hideki Murakawa (2009)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This paper deals with nonlinear diffusion problems involving degenerate parabolic problems, such as the Stefan problem and the porous medium equation, and cross-diffusion systems in population ecology. The degeneracy of the diffusion and the effect of cross-diffusion, that is, nonlinearities of the diffusion, complicate its analysis. In order to avoid the nonlinearities, we propose a reaction-diffusion system with solutions that approximate those of the nonlinear diffusion problems....

Fast optical tracking of diffusion in time-dependent environment of brain extracellular space

Hrabě, Jan

Similarity:

An improved version of the Integrative Optical Imaging (IOI) method for diffusion measurements in a geometrically complex environment of the brain extracellular space has been developed. We present a theory for this Fast Optical Tracking Of Diffusion (FOTOD) which incorporates a time-dependent effective diffusion coefficient in homogeneous anisotropic media with time-dependent nonspecific linear clearance. FOTOD can be used to measure rapid changes in extracellular diffusion permeability...

Lyapunov Functions for Weak Solutions of Reaction-Diffusion Equations with Discontinuous Interaction Functions and its Applications

Mark O. Gluzman, Nataliia V. Gorban, Pavlo O. Kasyanov (2015)

Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

Similarity:

In this paper we investigate additional regularity properties for global and trajectory attractors of all globally defined weak solutions of semi-linear parabolic differential reaction-diffusion equations with discontinuous nonlinearities, when initial data uτ ∈ L2(Ω). The main contributions in this paper are: (i) sufficient conditions for the existence of a Lyapunov function for all weak solutions of autonomous differential reaction-diffusion equations with discontinuous and multivalued...
