Scaling violations are found in the phase-ordering two-dimensional Heisenberg [$O(3)$] model, which has non-singular topological textures, under dissipative non-conserved dynamics. Three separate length-scales are found: $L_T$ characterizes…
The existence and search for thermodynamic phase transitions is of unfading interest. In this paper, we present numerical evidence of dynamical phase transitions occurring in boundary driven systems with a constrained integrated current. It…
A generalization of the ABC model, a one-dimensional model of a driven system of three particle species with local dynamics, is introduced, in which the model evolves under either (i) density-conserving or (ii) nonconserving dynamics. For…
Suspensions of self-propelled particles, such as swimming micro-organisms, are known to undergo complex dynamics as a result of hydrodynamic interactions. This fluid dynamics video presents a numerical simulation of such a suspension, based…

We consider a physical model where the total energy is governed by surface tension and attractive screened Coulomb potential on the 3-dimensional space. We obtain different periodic equilibrium patterns i.e. stationary sets for this energy,…
Discrete autonomous dynamical systems in dimension 1 can exhibit chaotic behavior, whereas the corresponding continuous evolution equations rule it out, and cannot even possess a nontrivial periodic solution. Therefore the passage from…
This article deals with the issues of global-in-time existence and asymptotic analysis of a fluid-particle interaction model in the so-called bubbling regime. The mixture occupies the physical space $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ which may…
Phase transitions and critical behavior of driven systems are reviewed. Models exhibiting phase transitions, spontaneous symmetry breaking, phase separation and coarsening processes in d=1 dimension are discussed.
Assuming a new interaction with a $\theta$ term for the third generation of quarks, a value of $\theta$ different from zero dynamically induces the top- bottom mass splitting and a large CP-violating phase.
Bifurcation with symmetry is considered in the case of an isotropy subgroup with a two-dimensional fixed point subspace and non-zero quadratic terms. In general, there are one or three branches of solutions, and five qualitatively different…
We report results of high-precision Monte Carlo simulations of a three-dimensional lattice model in the O(3) universality class, in the presence of a surface. By a finite-size scaling analysis we have proven the existence of a special…
We show that the dynamics of simple disordered models, like the directed Trap Model and the Random Energy Model, takes place at a coexistence point between active and inactive dynamical phases. We relate the presence of a dynamic phase…
A driven system of three species of particle diffusing on a ring is studied in detail. The dynamics is local and conserves the three densities. A simple argument suggesting that the model should phase separate and break the translational…
We consider distributed consensus and vehicular formation control problems. Specifically we address the question of whether local feedback is sufficient to maintain coherence in large-scale networks subject to stochastic disturbances. We…
We introduce three models of fragmentation in which the largest fragment in the system can be broken at each time step with a fixed probability, p. We solve these models exactly in the long time limit to reveal stable time invariant…
