Convergence results and sharp estimates for the voter model interfaces.
We study convergence of solutions to stationary states in an astrophysical model of evolution of clouds of self-gravitating particles.
We consider a simple random walk of length N, denoted by (Si)i∈{1, …, N}, and we define (wi)i≥1 a sequence of centered i.i.d. random variables. For K∈ℕ we define ((γi−K, …, γiK))i≥1 an i.i.d sequence of random vectors. We set β∈ℝ, λ≥0 and h≥0, and transform the measure on the set of random walk trajectories with the hamiltonian λ∑i=1N(wi+h)sign(Si)+β∑j=−KK∑i=1Nγij1{Si=j}. This transformed path measure describes an hydrophobic(philic) copolymer interacting with a layer of width 2K around an interface...
The aim of this paper is to provide the correctors associated to the homogenization of a parabolic problem describing the heat transfer. The results here complete the earlier study in [Jose, Rev. Roumaine Math. Pures Appl.54 (2009) 189–222] on the asymptotic behaviour of a problem in a domain with two components separated by an ε-periodic interface. The physical model established in [Carslaw and Jaeger, The Clarendon Press, Oxford (1947)] prescribes on the interface the condition that the flux...
We analyze the charge and spin distributions induced in an interacting electron system confined inside a semiconductor quantum wire with spin orbit interaction in the presence of an external magnetic field. The wire, assumed to be infinitely long, is obtained through lateral confinement in three different materials: GaAs, InAs, and InSb. The spin-orbit coupling, linear in the electron momentum is of both Rashba and Dresselhaus type. Within the Hartree-Fock approximation the many-body Hamiltonian...
This paper is concerned with the coupling of two models for the propagation of particles in scattering media. The first model is a linear transport equation of Boltzmann type posed in the phase space (position and velocity). It accurately describes the physics but is very expensive to solve. The second model is a diffusion equation posed in the physical space. It is only valid in areas of high scattering, weak absorption, and smooth physical coefficients, but its numerical solution is much cheaper...

Attractiveness is a fundamental tool to study interacting particle systems and the basic coupling construction is a usual route to prove this property, as for instance in simple exclusion. The derived markovian coupled process (ξt, ζt)t≥0 satisfies: (A) if ξ0≤ζ0 (coordinate-wise), then for all t≥0, ξt≤ζt a.s. In this paper, we consider generalized misanthrope models which are conservative particle systems on ℤd such that, in each transition, k particles may jump from a site x to another site y,...
