Smoluchowski-type models for diffusion-influenced reactions (A+B -> C) can be formulated within two frameworks: the probabilistic-based approach for a pair A, B of reacting particles and the concentration-based approach for systems in…
Within a quantum molecular dynamics model we calculate the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE), density fluctuation and mass distribution of fragments for a series of nuclear systems at different initial temperatures. It is found that the $LLE$…

The continuous generalized exchange-driven growth model (CGEDG) is a system of integro-differential equations describing the evolution of cluster mass under mass exchange. The rate of exchange depends on the masses of the clusters involved…
The coagulation (or aggregation) equation was introduced by Smoluchowski in 1916 to describe the clumping together of colloidal particles through diffusion, but has been used in many different contexts as diverse as physical chemistry,…
We consider a microscopic model of spherical particles with inertia in a Stokes flow. As the particle number grows to infinity and their size goes to zero we derive the monokinetic Vlasov-Stokes equations as mean-field limit. We do this…
We present a new model of homogeneous aggregation that contains the essential physical ideas of the classical predecessors, the Becker-Doring and Lifshitz-Slyovoz models. These classical models, which give different predictions, are…
In this paper we study the derivation of a certain type of NLS from many-body interactions of bosonic particles. We consider a model with a finite linear combination of $n$-body interactions, where $n \geq 2$ is an integer. We show that the…
We study the glassy dynamics taking place in dense assemblies of athermal active particles that are driven solely by a nonequilibrium self-propulsion mechanism. Active forces are modeled as an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process,…
In this article a stochastic particle system approximation to the parametric sensitivity in the Smoluchowski coagulation equation is introduced. The parametric sensitivity is the derivative of the solution to the equation with respect to…
We discuss the dynamics and thermodynamics of systems with long-range interactions. We contrast the microcanonical description of an isolated Hamiltonian system to the canonical description of a stochastically forced Brownian system. We…
A notion of measure solution is formulated for a coagulation-diffusion equation, which is the natural counterpart of Smoluchowski's coagulation equation in a spatially inhomogeneous setting. Some general properties of such solutions are…
It is common, when dealing with quantum processes involving a subsystem of a much larger composite closed system, to treat them as effectively memory-less (Markovian). While open systems theory tells us that non-Markovian processes should…
For a specific choice of the diffusion, the parabolic-elliptic Patlak-Keller-Segel system with non-linear diffusion (also referred to as the quasi-linear Smoluchowski-Poisson equation) exhibits an interesting threshold phenomenon: there is…
We consider Smoluchowski's coagulation equation in the case of the diagonal kernel with homogeneity $\gamma>1$. In this case the phenomenon of gelation occurs and solutions lose mass at some finite time. The problem of the existence of…
The paper discusses a family of Markov processes that represent many particle systems, and their limiting behaviour when the number of particles go to infinity. The first part concerns model of biological systems: a model for sympatric…
In analogy to Brownian computers we explicitly show how to construct stochastic models, which mimic the behaviour of a general purpose computer (a Turing machine). Our models are discrete state systems obeying a Markovian master equation,…
Cooper-pair formation in a system of imbalanced fermions leads to the well-studied Fulde-Ferrell or Larkin-Ovchinnikov superfluid state. In the former case the system forms spontaneous phase gradients while in the latter case it forms a…
The nonlinear Markov processes are the measure-valued dynamical systems which preserve positivity. They can be represented as the law of large numbers limits of general Markov models of interacting particles. In physics, the kinetic…
This study is devoted to the long-term behavior of nucleation, growth and fragmentation equations, modeling the spontaneous formation and kinetics of large polymers in a spatially homogeneous and closed environment. Such models are, for…
