Focusing of spherical nonlinear pulses in R1+3. II. Nonlinear caustic.

Rémi Carles, Jeffrey Rauch (2004)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We study spherical pulse like families of solutions to semilinear wave equattions in space time of dimension 1+3 as the pulses focus at a point and emerge outgoing. We emphasize the scales for which the incoming and outgoing waves behave linearly but the nonlinearity has a strong effect at the focus. The focus crossing is described by a scattering operator for the semilinear equation, which broadens the pulses. The relative errors in our approximate solutions are small in the L∞ norm.

Fokker-Planck equation in bounded domain

Laurent Chupin (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the existence and the uniqueness of a solution  ϕ to the linear Fokker-Planck equation - Δ ϕ + div ( ϕ F ) = f in a bounded domain of  d when F is a “confinement” vector field. This field acting for instance like the inverse of the distance to the boundary. An illustration of the obtained results is given within the framework of fluid mechanics and polymer flows.

Formal passage from kinetic theory to incompressible Navier–Stokes equations for a mixture of gases

Marzia Bisi, Laurent Desvillettes (2014)

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

We present in this paper the formal passage from a kinetic model to the incompressible Navier−Stokes equations for a mixture of monoatomic gases with different masses. The starting point of this derivation is the collection of coupled Boltzmann equations for the mixture of gases. The diffusion coefficients for the concentrations of the species, as well as the ones appearing in the equations for velocity and temperature, are explicitly computed under the Maxwell molecule assumption in terms of the...

Formulazione intrinseca del problema di Cauchy in relatività generale

Giorgio Ferrarese (1988)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Viene stabilita una formulazione intrinseca del problema di Cauchy in Relatività generale, per uno spazio-tempo riemanniano descritto da un mezzo continuo globale e non-polare. In termini di variabili proprie: metrica, velocità angolare e di deformazione, densità di pura materia, flusso termico e temperatura. Vengono altresì precisate le condizioni iniziali per i dati di Cauchy su una assegnata superficie spaziale σ 3 ; condizioni in involuzione nel senso d'E. Cartan, le quali mettono in evidenza,...

Fractional Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov type Equations and their Associated Stochastic Differential Equations

Hahn, Marjorie, Umarov, Sabir (2011)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

MSC 2010: 26A33, 35R11, 35R60, 35Q84, 60H10 Dedicated to 80-th anniversary of Professor Rudolf GorenfloThere is a well-known relationship between the Itô stochastic differential equations (SDEs) and the associated partial differential equations called Fokker-Planck equations, also called Kolmogorov equations. The Brownian motion plays the role of the basic driving process for SDEs. This paper provides fractional generalizations of the triple relationship between the driving process, corresponding...
