In this work we incorporate, in a unified way, two anomalous behaviors, the power law and stretched exponential ones, by considering the radial dependence of the $N$-dimensional nonlinear diffusion equation $\partial\rho /\partial{t}={\bf…

This is the first in a series of two papers in which we derive a $\Gamma$-expansion for a two-dimensional non-local Ginzburg-Landau energy with Coulomb repulsion, also known as the Ohta-Kawasaki model in connection with diblock copolymer…

We study the formation and the evolution of velocity distribution tails for systems with long-range interactions. In the thermal bath approximation, the evolution of the distribution function of a test particle is governed by a…

We consider the Kramers--Smoluchowski equation at a low temperature regime and show how semiclassical techniques developed for the study of the Witten Laplacian and Fokker--Planck equation provide quantitative results. This equation comes…

We consider a particle living in $\mathbb{R}_+$, whose velocity is a positive recurrent diffusion with heavy-tailed invariant distribution when the particle lives in $(0,\infty)$. When it hits the boundary $x=0$, the particle restarts with…

Recently a new type of Kramers-Fokker-Planck Equation has been proposed [R. Friedrich et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 96}, 230601 (2006)] describing anomalous diffusion in external potentials. In the present paper the explicit cases of a…

In 1917, Marian von Smoluchowski presented a simple mathematical description of diffusion-controlled reactions on the scale of individual molecules. His model postulated that a reaction would occur when two reactants were sufficiently close…

In this note, we demonstrated for the first time that one can derive an expression for the effective diffusion coefficient, equal to the Lifson-Jackson formula, using a subsequent homogenization of the 1D reaction-diffusion-advection…

We study the long time behaviour of the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with mean field interaction, whose limit is often called Vlasov-Fkker-Planck equation. We prove a uniform (in the number of particles) exponential convergence to…

When a chaotic, ergodic Hamiltonian system with $N$ degrees of freedom is subject to sufficiently rapid periodic driving, its energy evolves diffusively. We derive a Fokker-Planck equation that governs the evolution of the system's…

We simulate interaction quenches crossing from a superfluid to a supersolid state in a dipolar quantum gas of ${}^{164}\mathrm{Dy}$ atoms, trapped in an elongated tube with periodic boundary conditions, via the extended Gross-Pitaevskii…

The dielectric response of nano-confined fluids is crucial across technologies and biological systems, yet its calculation and interpretation from molecular simulations are often muddled by unclear boundary conditions. We re-derive the…

We derive the hydrodynamic limit of a kinetic equation where the interactions in velocity are modelled by a linear operator (Fokker-Planck or Linear Boltzmann) and the force in the Vlasov term is a stochastic process with high amplitude and…

A particle produced in a hard collision can lose energy through bremsstrahlung. It has long been of interest to calculate the effect on bremsstrahlung if the particle is produced inside a finite-size QCD medium such as a quark-gluon plasma.…
