A stochastic phase-field model determined from molecular dynamics

Erik von Schwerin, Anders Szepessy (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The dynamics of dendritic growth of a crystal in an undercooled melt is determined by macroscopic diffusion-convection of heat and by capillary forces acting on the nanometer scale of the solid-liquid interface width. Its modelling is useful for instance in processing techniques based on casting. The phase-field method is widely used to study evolution of such microstructural phase transformations on a continuum level; it couples the energy equation to a phenomenological Allen-Cahn/Ginzburg-Landau equation...

About steady transport equation I – L p -approach in domains with smooth boundaries

Antonín Novotný (1996)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We investigate the steady transport equation λ z + w · ∇ z + a z = f , λ > 0 in various domains (bounded or unbounded) with smooth noncompact boundaries. The functions w , a are supposed to be small in appropriate norms. The solution is studied in spaces of Sobolev type (classical Sobolev spaces, Sobolev spaces with weights, homogeneous Sobolev spaces, dual spaces to Sobolev spaces). The particular stress is put onto the problem to extend the results to as less regular vector fields w , a , as possible (conserving the requirement of...

Adaptive finite element relaxation schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws

Christos Arvanitis, Theodoros Katsaounis, Charalambos Makridakis (2001)

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

We propose and study semidiscrete and fully discrete finite element schemes based on appropriate relaxation models for systems of Hyperbolic Conservation Laws. These schemes are using piecewise polynomials of arbitrary degree and their consistency error is of high order. The methods are combined with an adaptive strategy that yields fine mesh in shock regions and coarser mesh in the smooth parts of the solution. The computational performance of these methods is demonstrated by considering scalar...

Ageing in the parabolic Anderson model

Peter Mörters, Marcel Ortgiese, Nadia Sidorova (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

The parabolic Anderson model is the Cauchy problem for the heat equation with a random potential. We consider this model in a setting which is continuous in time and discrete in space, and focus on time-constant, independent and identically distributed potentials with polynomial tails at infinity. We are concerned with the long-term temporal dynamics of this system. Our main result is that the periods, in which the profile of the solutions remains nearly constant, are increasing linearly over time,...

An analysis of noise propagation in the multiscale simulation of coarse Fokker-Planck equations

Yves Frederix, Giovanni Samaey, Dirk Roose (2011)

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

We consider multiscale systems for which only a fine-scale model describing the evolution of individuals (atoms, molecules, bacteria, agents) is given, while we are interested in the evolution of the population density on coarse space and time scales. Typically, this evolution is described by a coarse Fokker-Planck equation. In this paper, we consider a numerical procedure to compute the solution of this Fokker-Planck equation directly on the coarse level, based on the estimation of the unknown...

An analysis of quantum Fokker-Planck models: a Wigner function approach.

Anton Arnold, José L. López, Peter A. Markowich, Juan Soler (2004)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

The analysis of dissipative transport equations within the framework of open quantum systems with Fokker-Planck-type scattering is carried out from the perspective of a Wigner function approach. In particular, the well-posedness of the self-consistent whole-space problem in 3D is analyzed: existence of solutions, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior in time, where we adopt the viewpoint of mild solutions in this paper. Also, the admissibility of a density matrix formulation in Lindblad form with Fokker-Planck...

Analysis of an Asymptotic Preserving Scheme for Relaxation Systems

Francis Filbet, Amélie Rambaud (2013)

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

We consider an asymptotic preserving numerical scheme initially proposed by F. Filbet and S. Jin [J. Comput. Phys. 229 (2010)] and G. Dimarco and L. Pareschi [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 49 (2011) 2057–2077] in the context of nonlinear and stiff kinetic equations. Here, we propose a convergence analysis of such a scheme for the approximation of a system of transport equations with a nonlinear source term, for which the asymptotic limit is given by a conservation law. We investigate the convergence of the...

Annealed upper tails for the energy of a charged polymer

Amine Asselah (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We study the upper tails for the energy of a randomly charged symmetric and transient random walk. We assume that only charges on the same site interact pairwise. We consider annealed estimates, that is when we average over both randomness, in dimension three or more. We obtain a large deviation principle, and an explicit rate function for a large class of charge distributions.

Anomalous heat-kernel decay for random walk among bounded random conductances

N. Berger, M. Biskup, C. E. Hoffman, G. Kozma (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We consider the nearest-neighbor simple random walk on ℤd, d≥2, driven by a field of bounded random conductances ωxy∈[0, 1]. The conductance law is i.i.d. subject to the condition that the probability of ωxy>0 exceeds the threshold for bond percolation on ℤd. For environments in which the origin is connected to infinity by bonds with positive conductances, we study the decay of the 2n-step return probability 𝖯 ω 2 n ( 0 , 0 ) . We prove that 𝖯 ω 2 n ( 0 , 0 ) is bounded by a random constant timesn−d/2 in d=2, 3, while it...
