Tail estimates for homogenization theorems in random media

Daniel Boivin (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Consider a random environment in d given by i.i.d. conductances. In this work, we obtain tail estimates for the fluctuations about the mean for the following characteristics of the environment: the effective conductance between opposite faces of a cube, the diffusion matrices of periodized environments and the spectral gap of the random walk in a finite cube.

The atomic and molecular nature of matter.

Charles L. Fefferman (1985)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

The purpose of this article is to show that electrons and protons, interacting by Coulomb forces and governed by quantum statistical mechanics at suitable temperature and density, form a gas of Hydrogen atoms or molecules.

The Child–Langmuir limit for semiconductors : a numerical validation

María-José Cáceres, José-Antonio Carrillo, Pierre Degond (2002)

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

The Boltzmann–Poisson system modeling the electron flow in semiconductors is used to discuss the validity of the Child–Langmuir asymptotics. The scattering kernel is approximated by a simple relaxation time operator. The Child–Langmuir limit gives an approximation of the current-voltage characteristic curves by means of a scaling procedure in which the ballistic velocity is much larger that the thermal one. We discuss the validity of the Child–Langmuir regime by performing detailed numerical comparisons...
