Special Perturbations of Gibbs States
This paper is concerned with the analysis and implementation of spectral Galerkin methods for a class of Fokker-Planck equations that arises from the kinetic theory of dilute polymers. A relevant feature of the class of equations under consideration from the viewpoint of mathematical analysis and numerical approximation is the presence of an unbounded drift coefficient, involving a smooth convex potential that is equal to along the boundary of the computational domain .

We give an accurate asymptotic estimate for the gap of the generator of a particular interacting particle system. The model we consider may be informally described as follows. A certain number of charged particles moves on the segment [1,L] according to a Markovian law. One unitary charge, positive or negative, jumps from a site k to another site k'=k+1 or k'=k-1 at a rate which depends on the charge at site k and at site k'. The total charge of the system is preserved by the dynamics, in...
In this paper we introduce numerical schemes for a one-dimensional kinetic model of the Boltzmann equation with dissipative collisions and variable coefficient of restitution. In particular, we study the numerical passage of the Boltzmann equation with singular kernel to nonlinear friction equations in the so-called quasi elastic limit. To this aim we introduce a Fourier spectral method for the Boltzmann equation [25, 26] and show that the kernel modes that define the spectral method have the correct...

We study various statistics related to the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of random Hamiltonians in the localized regime. Consider a random Hamiltonian at an energy in the localized phase. Assume the density of states function is not too flat near . Restrict it to some large cube . Consider now , a small energy interval centered at that asymptotically contains infintely many eigenvalues when the volume of the cube grows to infinity. We prove that, with probability one in the large volume...
We discuss spectral and scattering theory of the discrete laplacian limited to a half-space. The interesting properties of such operators stem from the imposed boundary condition and are related to certain phenomena in surface physics.
The aim of this work is to introduce and to analyze new algorithms for solving the transport neutronique equation in 2D geometry. These algorithms present the duplicate favors to be, on the one hand faster than some classic algorithms and easily to be implemented and naturally deviced for parallelisation on the other hand. They are based on a splitting of the collision operator holding amount of caracteristics of the transport operator. Some numerical results are given at the end of this work. ...
