Onsager's regression hypothesis connects the temporal relaxation of close-to-equilibrium systems with their dynamical correlation functions at thermal equilibrium. While the hypothesis is provably correct in classical systems, it is known…

Partial differential equations are a convenient way to describe reaction- advection-diffusion processes of signalling models. If only one cell type is present, and tissue dynamics can be neglected, the equations can be solved directly.…

Nonreciprocal interactions that violate Newton's law 'actio=reactio' are ubiquitous in nature and are currently intensively investigated in active matter, chemical reaction networks, population dynamics, and many other fields. An…
We develop the stochastic approach to thermodynamics based on the stochastic dynamics, which can be discrete (master equation) continuous (Fokker-Planck equation), and on two assumptions concerning entropy. The first is the definition of…
Reciprocal transformations mix the role of the dependent and independent variables to achieve simpler versions or even linearized versions of nonlinear PDEs. These transformations help in the identification of a plethora of PDEs available…

We extend the definition of algebraic entropy to a class of differential-delay equations. The vanishing of the entropy, as a structural property of an equation, signals its integrability. We suggest a simple way to produce…
The limit of small entropy production is reached in relaxing systems long after preparation, and in stationary driven systems in the limit of small driving power. Surprisingly, for extended systems this limit is not in general the…

Fractional calculus has been used to describe physical systems with complexity. Here, we show that a fractional calculus approach can restore or include complexity in any physical systems that can be described by partial differential…
We consider constrained partial differential equations of hyperbolic type with a small parameter $\varepsilon>0$, which turn parabolic in the limit case, i.e., for $\varepsilon=0$. The well-posedness of the resulting systems is discussed…
Boltzmann equation requires some alternative simpler kinetic model like BGK to replace the collision term. Such a kinetic model which replaces the Boltzmann collision integral should preserve the basic properties and characteristics of the…
