We demonstrate that a completely integrable classical mechanical model, namely the lattice Landau-Lifshitz classical spin chain, supports diffusive spin transport with a finite diffusion constant in the easy-axis regime, while in the…

Elastic turbulence has been found in computations of planar viscoelastic Taylor-Couette flow using the Oldroyd-B model, apparently generated by a linear instability (van Buel et al. Europhys. Lett., 124, 14001, 2018). We demonstrate that no…

In this paper we argue that differential rotation can possibly sustain hydrodynamic turbulence in the absence of magnetic field. We explain why the non-linearities of the hydrodynamic equations (i.e. turbulent diffusion) should not be…

The concept of cross diffusion is applied to some biological systems. The conditions for persistence and Turing instability in the presence of cross diffusion are derived. Many examples including: predator-prey, epidemics (with and without…

We are interested in the robustness of a Liouville type theorem for a reaction diffusion equation in exterior domains. Indeed H. Berestycki, F. Hamel and H. Matano (2009) proved such a result as soon as the domain satisfies some geometric…

Turing patterns are stationary, wave-like structures that emerge from the nonequilibrium assembly of reactive and diffusive components. While they are foundational in biophysics, their classical formulation relies on a single characteristic…

In a finite system driven out of equilibrium by a constant external force the thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) bounds the variance of the conjugate current variable by the thermodynamic cost of maintaining the non-equilibrium…

The stability against perturbations of a dynamical system conserving a generalized phase-space volume is studied by exploiting the similarity between statistical physics formalism and that of ergodic theory. A general continuity theorem is…

Classical models of pattern formation are based on diffusion-driven instability (DDI) of constant stationary solutions of reaction-diffusion equations, which leads to emergence of stable, regular Turing patterns formed around that…

Turing (or double-diffusive) instabilities describe pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems, and were proposed in 1952 as a potential mechanism behind pattern formation in nature, such as leopard spots and zebra stripes. Because the…
