We consider random walks on quasi one dimensional lattices, as introduced in \cite{FS}. This mathematical setting covers a large class of discrete kinetic models for non-cooperative molecular motors on periodic tracks. We derive general…

We establish the global existence of weak solutions to a nonlinear kinetic Fokker--Planck equation with degenerate diffusion, under either inflow or partial absorption-reflection boundary conditions. The novelty of our approach lies in…
We consider a class of nonlinear, spatially inhomogeneous kinetic equations of BGK-type with density dependent collision rates. These equations share the same superlinearity as the Boltzmann equation, and fall into the class of run and…
In contrast to normal diffusion, there is no canonical model for reactions between chemical species which move by anomalous subdiffusion. Indeed, the type of mesoscopic equation describing reaction-subdiffusion depends on subtle assumptions…
To infer the parameters of mechanistic models with intractable likelihoods, techniques such as approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) are increasingly being adopted. One of the main disadvantages of ABC in practical situations, however, is…

Particle-based methods are a practical tool in computational fluid dynamics, and novel types of methods have been proposed. However, widely developed Lagrangian-type formulations suffer from the nonuniform distribution of particles, which…
We develop novel asymptotic-preserving (AP) deterministic particle methods for collisional plasma models, including both Landau--Fokker--Planck and Dougherty collision operators, under hydrodynamic scaling. Our schemes treat the non-stiff…
The one-dimensional kinetic equation with integral of collisions type BGK (Bhatnagar, Gross and Krook) and frequency of collisions affine depending on the module of molecular velocity is constructed. Laws of preservation of number of…
In this paper, we develop a family of high order asymptotic preserving schemes for some discrete-velocity kinetic equations under a diffusive scaling, that in the asymptotic limit lead to macroscopic models such as the heat equation, the…
We derive asymptotic expansions for the displacement at the boundary of a smooth, elastic body in the presence of small inhomogeneities. Both the body and the inclusions are allowed to be anisotropic. This work extends prior work of…
We present a new approach for boundary integral equations for the wave equation with zero initial conditions. Unlike previous attempts, our mathematical formulation allows us to prove that the associated boundary integral operators are…
In this Letter, we clarify the physical origin of effective transport in periodic and tilted periodic systems. When Brownian dynamics is examined on the scale of a single period, the particle displacement admits a natural separation into a…
