We deal with a system of two coupled differential equations, describing the evolution of a first order phase transition. In particular, we have two non-linear parabolic equations: the first one is deduced from a balance law for entropy and…
At low temperature a thermodynamic system undergoes a phase transition when a physical parameter passes through a singularity point of the free energy, corresponding to formation of a new order. At high temperature the thermal fluctuations…
Consider the steady Boltzmann equation with slab symmetry for a monatomic, hard sphere gas in a half space. At the boundary of the half space, it is assumed that the gas is in contact with its condensed phase. The present paper discusses…

This paper deals with the large-time analysis of a PDE system modelling contact with adhesion, in the case when thermal effects are taken into account. The phenomenon of adhesive contact is described in terms of phase transitions for a…

In this paper we prove a local-in-time existence theorem for an initial-boundary value problem related to a model of temperature-dependent phase segregation that generalizes the standard Allen-Cahn's model. The problem is ruled by a system…
We show that Hermitian matrix models support the occurrence of a new type of phase transition characterised by dispersive regularisation of the order parameter near the critical point. Using the identification of the partition function with…
We consider the dynamics of particle systems where the particles are confined by impenetrable barriers to a bounded, possibly non-convex domain $\Omega$. When particles hit the boundary, we consider an instant change in velocity, which…

In the paper, we investigate the nonlinear thermoelasticity model in two- and three-dimensional convex and bounded domains. We propose new boundary conditions for the displacement. These conditions are not usual in thermoelasticity.…
Two main existence theorems are proved for two nonstandard systems of parabolic initial-boundary value problems. The systems are based on the "$ \phi $-$ \eta $-$ \theta $ model" proposed by Kobayashi [RIMS Kokyuroku, 1210 (2001), 68-77] as…
The existence and the uniqueness of the solution to the BCS gap equation of superconductivity is established in previous papers, but the temperature dependence of the solution is not discussed. In this paper, in order to show how the…
We study a Boussinesq system in a bounded domain with an outlet boundary portion where fluid can leave or re-enter. On this boundary part, we consider a do-nothing condition for the fluid flow, and a new artificial condition for the heat…
