In this short survey we compare aspects of two different approaches for scaling limits of interacting particle systems, the hydrodynamic limit and the high density limit. We present some examples, comments and open problems on each approach…
We obtain the hydrodynamic limit of one-dimensional interacting particle systems describing the macroscopic evolution of the density of mass in infinite volume from the microscopic dynamics. The processes are weak pertubations of the…
We review the class of cellular automata known as lattice gases, and their applications to problems in physics and materials science. The presentation is self-contained, and assumes very little prior knowledge of the subject. Hydrodynamic…
Escherichia coli has long been used as a model organism due to the extensive experimental characterization of its pathways and molecular components. Take chemotaxis as an example, which allows bacteria to sense and swim in response to…
A recently introduced model describing -on a 1d lattice- the velocity field of a granular fluid is discussed in detail. The dynamics of the velocity field occurs through next-neighbours inelastic collisions which conserve momentum but…
We consider a multiscale stochastic compartmental model with three types of cells (stem cells, immature cells and mature cells) which combines cell proliferation and cell differentiation. We derive a hydrodynamic limit when the number of…
Chemotaxis, i.e. motion generated by chemical gradients, is a motility mode shared by many living species that has been developed by evolution to optimize certain biological processes such as foraging or immune response. In particular,…
Consider an interacting particle system indexed by the vertices of a (possibly random) locally finite graph whose vertices and edges are equipped with marks representing parameters of the model such as the environment and initial…
We study the hydrodynamic limit for some conservative particle systems with degenerate rates, namely with nearest neighbor exchange rates which vanish for certain configurations. These models belong to the class of {\sl kinetically…
In this paper we are concerned with the binary contact path process introduced in \cite{Gri1983} on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d\geq 3$. Our main result gives a hydrodynamic limit of the process, which is the solution to a heat…
We consider a system of two kinetic equations modelling a multicellular system : The first equation governs the dynamics of cells, whereas the second kinetic equation governs the dynamics of the chemoattractant. For this system, we first…
Autologous chemotaxis, in which cells secrete and detect molecules to determine the direction of fluid flow, is thwarted at high cell density because molecules from other cells interfere with a given cell's signal. Using a minimal model of…
Chemotaxis is the response of a particle to a gradient in the chemical composition of the environment. While it was originally observed for biological organisms, it is of great interest in the context of synthetic active particles such as…
Active liquid crystals or active gels are soft materials which can be physically realised e.g. by preparing a solution of cytoskeletal filaments interacting with molecular motors. We study the hydrodynamics of an active liquid crystal in a…
In these notes, we describe the strategy for the derivation of the hydrodynamic limit for a family of long range interacting particle systems of exclusion type with symmetric rates. For $m \in \mathbb{N}:=\{1, 2, \ldots\}$ fixed, the…
For a class of nonequilibrium systems, called driven lattice gases, we study what happens when two systems are kept in contact and allowed to exchange particles with the total number of particles conserved. Both for attractive and repulsive…
After discussing the problem of defining the hydrodynamic limit from microscopic scales, we give an introduction to ideal hydrodynamics in the Lagrange picture, and show that it can be viewed as a field theory, which can be quantized using…
Living systems are maintained out-of-equilibrium by external driving forces. At stationarity, they exhibit emergent selection phenomena that break equilibrium symmetries and originate from the expansion of the accessible chemical space due…
