An easy consequence of Kantorovich-Rubinstein duality is the following: if $f:[0,1]^d \rightarrow \infty$ is Lipschitz and $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_N \right\} \subset [0,1]^d$, then $$ \left| \int_{[0,1]^d} f(x) dx - \frac{1}{N}…
Averaging lemmas were introduced as a tool of the mathematical analysis of kinetic equations, i.e. PDEs for functions in phase space $(x,v)$ containing a transport ("advection") term. By integrating over $v$ in velocity space…
This work introduces a new approach to velocity averaging lemmas in kinetic theory. This approach -- based upon the classical energy method -- provides a powerful duality principle in kinetic transport equations which allows for a natural…
We consider a first-order transport equation $\ppp_tu(x,t) + (H(x)\cdot\nabla u(x,t)) + p(x)u(x,t) = F(x,t)$ for $x \in \OOO \subset \R^d$, where $\OOO$ is a bounded domain and $0<t<T$. We prove a Carleman estimate for more generous…
We consider a generalized one-dimensional chain in a periodic potential (the Frenkel-Kontorova model), with dissipative, pulsating (or ratchet) dynamics as a model of transport when the average force on the system is zero. We find lower…
We prove existence and uniqueness for the transport equation for currents (Geometric Transport Equation) when the driving vector field is time-dependent, Lipschitz in space and merely integrable in time. This extends previous work where…
The generalised Boltzmann equation which treats the combined localised and delocalised nature of transport present in certain materials is extended to accommodate time-dependent fields. In particular, AC fields are shown to be a means to…
We investigate the mixing properties of solutions to the stochastic transport equation $d u= \circ d W \cdot\nabla u$, where the driving noise $W(t,x)$ is white in time, colored and divergence-free in space. Furthermore, we prove the…
For stochastic reaction-diffusion equations with L\'evy noises and non-Lipschitz reaction terms, we prove that $W_1H$ transportation cost inequalities hold for their invariant probability measures and for their process-level laws on the…
