Homogenization results for a linear dynamics in random Glauber type environment

Cédric Bernardin (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We consider an energy conserving linear dynamics that we perturb by a Glauber dynamics with random site dependent intensity. We prove hydrodynamic limits for this non-reversible system in random media. The diffusion coefficient turns out to depend on the random field only by its statistics. The diffusion coefficient defined through the Green–Kubo formula is also studied and its convergence to some homogenized diffusion coefficient is proved.

Central Limit Theorem for Diffusion Processes in an Anisotropic Random Environment

Ernest Nieznaj (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We prove the central limit theorem for symmetric diffusion processes with non-zero drift in a random environment. The case of zero drift has been investigated in e.g. [18], [7]. In addition we show that the covariance matrix of the limiting Gaussian random vector corresponding to the diffusion with drift converges, as the drift vanishes, to the covariance of the homogenized diffusion with zero drift.

Superdiffusivity for directed polymer in corelated random environment

Hubert Lacoin (2010)

Actes des rencontres du CIRM

Similarity:

The directed polymer in random environment models the behavior of a polymer chain in a solution with impurities. It is a particular case of random walk in random environment. In 1 + 1 dimensional environment is has been shown by Petermann that this random walk is superdiffusive. We show superdiffusivity properties are reinforced were there are long ranged correlation in the environment and that super diffusivity also occurs in higher dimensions.

On the Origin of Chaos in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky Reaction in Closed and Unstirred Reactors

M. A. Budroni, M. Rustici, E. Tiezzi (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

We investigate the origin of deterministic chaos in the Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction carried out in closed and unstirred reactors (CURs). In detail, we develop a model on the idea that hydrodynamic instabilities play a driving role in the transition to chaotic dynamics. A set of partial differential equations were derived by coupling the two variable Oregonator–diffusion system to the Navier–Stokes equations. This approach allows us to shed light on the correlation between chemical...

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...

Regularity of the effective diffusivity of random diffusion with respect to anisotropy coefficient

M. Cudna, T. Komorowski (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We show that the effective diffusivity of a random diffusion with a drift is a continuous function of the drift coefficient. In fact, in the case of a homogeneous and isotropic random environment the function is C ∞ smooth outside the origin. We provide a one-dimensional example which shows that the diffusivity coefficient need not be differentiable at 0.

On the number of stationary patterns in reaction-diffusion systems

Rybář, Vojtěch, Vejchodský, Tomáš

Similarity:

We study systems of two nonlinear reaction-diffusion partial differential equations undergoing diffusion driven instability. Such systems may have spatially inhomogeneous stationary solutions called Turing patterns. These solutions are typically non-unique and it is not clear how many of them exists. Since there are no analytical results available, we look for the number of distinct stationary solutions numerically. As a typical example, we investigate the reaction-diffusion system designed...
