Ergodicity of PCA: equivalence between spatial and temporal mixing conditions.
We prove quenched hydrodynamic limit under hyperbolic time scaling for bounded attractive particle systems on in random ergodic environment. Our result is a strong law of large numbers, that we illustrate with various examples.
We give an elementary proof for the uniqueness of absolutely continuous invariant measures for expanding random dynamical systems and study their mixing properties.
We study the existence and nonexistence in the large of radial solutions to a parabolic-elliptic system with natural (no-flux) boundary conditions describing the gravitational interaction of particles. The blow-up of solutions defined in the n-dimensional ball with large initial data is connected with the nonexistence of radial stationary solutions with a large mass.
We study the existence of stationary and evolution solutions to a parabolic-elliptic system with natural (no-flux) boundary conditions describing the gravitational interaction of particles.
We study the existence of solutions to a nonlinear parabolic equation describing the temporal evolution of a cloud of self-gravitating particles with a given external potential. The initial data are in spaces of (generalized) pseudomeasures. We prove existence of local and global-in-time solutions, and also a kind of stability of global solutions.
We study a free energy computation procedure, introduced in [Darve and Pohorille, J. Chem. Phys.115 (2001) 9169–9183; Hénin and Chipot, J. Chem. Phys.121 (2004) 2904–2914], which relies on the long-time behavior of a nonlinear stochastic differential equation. This nonlinearity comes from a conditional expectation computed with respect to one coordinate of the solution. The long-time convergence of the solutions to this equation has been proved in [Lelièvre et al., Nonlinearity21 (2008) 1155–1181],...
We consider the spatially inhomogeneous Bekker-Döring infinite-dimensional kinetic system describing the evolution of coagulating and fragmenting particles under the influence of convection and diffusion. The simultaneous consideration of opposite coagulating and fragmenting processes causes many additional difficulties in the investigation of spatially inhomogeneous problems, where the space variable changes differently for distinct particle sizes. To overcome these difficulties, we use a modified...
We construct a Galerkin finite element method for the numerical approximation of weak solutions to a general class of coupled FENE-type finitely extensible nonlinear elastic dumbbell models that arise from the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of polymeric liquids with noninteracting polymer chains. The class of models involves the unsteady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝd, d = 2 or 3, for the velocity...
