A new perspective on some approximations used in neutron transport modeling

Hanuš, Milan (2013)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

In this contribution, we will use the Maxwell-Cartesian spherical harmonics (introduced in [1,2]) to derive a system of partial differential equations governing transport of neutrons within an interacting medium. This system forms an alternative to the well known P N approximation, which is based on the expansion of the directional dependence into tesseral spherical harmonics ([3,p.197]). In comparison with this latter set of equations, the Maxwell-Cartesian system posesses a much more regular structure,...

A non elliptic spectral problem related to the analysis of superconducting micro-strip lines

Anne-Sophie Bonnet-Bendhia, Karim Ramdani (2002)

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

This paper is devoted to the spectral analysis of a non elliptic operator A , deriving from the study of superconducting micro-strip lines. Once a sufficient condition for the self-adjointness of operator A has been derived, we determine its continuous spectrum. Then, we show that A is unbounded from below and that it has a sequence of negative eigenvalues tending to - ∞ . Using the Min-Max principle, a characterization of its positive eigenvalues is given. Thanks to this characterization, some conditions...

A nonlocal singular perturbation problem with periodic well potential

Matthias Kurzke (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

For a one-dimensional nonlocal nonconvex singular perturbation problem with a noncoercive periodic well potential, we prove a Γ -convergence theorem and show compactness up to translation in all L p and the optimal Orlicz space for sequences of bounded energy. This generalizes work of Alberti, Bouchitté and Seppecher (1994) for the coercive two-well case. The theorem has applications to a certain thin-film limit of the micromagnetic energy.

A numerical perspective on Hartree−Fock−Bogoliubov theory

Mathieu Lewin, Séverine Paul (2014)

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

The method of choice for describing attractive quantum systems is Hartree−Fock−Bogoliubov (HFB) theory. This is a nonlinear model which allows for the description of pairing effects, the main explanation for the superconductivity of certain materials at very low temperature. This paper is the first study of Hartree−Fock−Bogoliubov theory from the point of view of numerical analysis. We start by discussing its proper discretization and then analyze the convergence of the simple fixed point (Roothaan)...

A numerically efficient approach to the modelling of double-Qdot channels

A. Shamloo, A.P. Sowa (2013)

Nanoscale Systems: Mathematical Modeling, Theory and Applications

We consider the electronic properties of a system consisting of two quantum dots in physical proximity, which we will refer to as the double-Qdot. Double-Qdots are attractive in light of their potential application to spin-based quantum computing and other electronic applications, e.g. as specialized sensors. Our main goal is to derive the essential properties of the double-Qdot from a model that is rigorous yet numerically tractable, and largely circumvents the complexities of an ab initio simulation....

A SOR Acceleration of Self-Adjoint and m-Accretive Splitting Iterative Solver for 2-D Neutron Transport Equation

O. Awono, J. Tagoudjeu (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We present an iterative method based on an infinite dimensional adaptation of the successive overrelaxation (SOR) algorithm for solving the 2-D neutron transport equation. In a wide range of application, the neutron transport operator admits a Self-Adjoint and m-Accretive Splitting (SAS). This splitting leads to an ADI-like iterative method which converges unconditionally and is equivalent to a fixed point problem where the operator is a 2 by 2 matrix...

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...
