In this work, we consider alternative discretizations for PDEs which use expansions involving integral operators to approximate spatial derivatives. These constructions use explicit information within the integral terms, but treat boundary…
Driven diffusive systems may undergo phase transitions to sustain atypical values of the current. This leads in some cases to symmetry-broken space-time trajectories which enhance the probability of such fluctuations. Here we shed light on…
Particle distributions in weakly collisional environments such as the magnetosphere have been observed to show deviations from the Maxwellian distribution. These can often be reproduced in kinetic simulations, but fluid models, which are…
