Theory of Dilute Binary Granular Gas Mixtures

D. Serero, S. H. Noskowicz, I. Goldhirsch (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

A computer-aided method for accurately carrying out the Chapman-Enskog expansion of the Boltzmann equation, including its inelastic variant, is presented and employed to derive a hydrodynamic description of a dilute binary mixture of smooth inelastic spheres. Constitutive relations, formally valid for all physical values of the coefficients of restitution, are calculated by carrying out the pertinent Chapman-Enskog expansion to sufficient high orders in the Sonine polynomials to ensure numerical...

Transfer matrices and transport for Schrödinger operators

François Germinet, Alexander Kiselev, Serguei Tcheremchantsev (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We provide a general lower bound on the dynamics of one dimensional Schrödinger operators in terms of transfer matrices. In particular it yields a non trivial lower bound on the transport exponents as soon as the norm of transfer matrices does not grow faster than polynomially on a set of energies of full Lebesgue measure, and regardless of the nature of the spectrum. Applications to Hamiltonians with a) sparse, b) quasi-periodic, c) random decaying potential are provided....

Trend to equilibrium and particle approximation for a weakly selfconsistent Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation

François Bolley, Arnaud Guillin, Florent Malrieu (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider a Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation governing the evolution of the density of interacting and diffusive matter in the space of positions and velocities. We use a probabilistic interpretation to obtain convergence towards equilibrium in Wasserstein distance with an explicit exponential rate. We also prove a propagation of chaos property for an associated particle system, and give rates on the approximation of the solution by the particle system. Finally, a transportation inequality...

Tunnel effect and symmetries for non-selfadjoint operators

Michael Hitrik (2013)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

We study low lying eigenvalues for non-selfadjoint semiclassical differential operators, where symmetries play an important role. In the case of the Kramers-Fokker-Planck operator, we show how the presence of certain supersymmetric and 𝒫𝒯 -symmetric structures leads to precise results concerning the reality and the size of the exponentially small eigenvalues in the semiclassical (here the low temperature) limit. This analysis also applies sometimes to chains of oscillators coupled to two heat baths,...
