The aim of this paper is to discuss the appropriate modelling of in- and outflow boundary conditions for nonlinear drift-diffusion models for the transport of particles including size exclusion and their effect on the behaviour of…
Historically, traffic modelling approaches have taken either a particle-like (microscopic) approach, or a gas-like (meso- or macroscopic) approach. Until recently with the introduction of mean-field games to the controls community, there…
We consider Markov models of large-scale networks where nodes are characterized by their local behavior and by a mobility model over a two-dimensional lattice. By assuming random walk, we prove convergence to a system of partial…
We present the stability analysis of two free boundary problems arising in biofilm modelling. The first, introduced in the 1980s by Wanner and Gujer, is related to the competition between autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria in a biofilm…
This article analyzes the formulation of space-time continuous hyperbolic hydrodynamic models for systems of interacting particles moving on a lattice, by connecting their local stochastic lattice dynamics to the formulation of an…
In many applications, transport of particles can be described by the diffusion equation, or its convective-diffusion generalizations, in part of three-dimensional space. In particular, in surface deposition or in growth of aggregates or…
A unified view on macroscopic thermodynamics and quantum transport is presented. Thermodynamic processes with an exchange of energy between two systems necessarily involve the flow of other balanceable quantities. These flows are first…
A thermodynamically consistent particle-based model for fluid dynamics with continuous velocities and a non-ideal equation of state is presented. Excluded volume interactions are modeled by means of biased stochastic multiparticle…
Since the subject of traffic dynamics has captured the interest of physicists, many astonishing effects have been revealed and explained. Some of the questions now understood are the following: Why are vehicles sometimes stopped by…
We study, in finite volume, a grand canonical version of the McKean-Vlasov equation where the total particle content is allowed to vary. The dynamics is anticipated to minimize an appropriate grand canonical free energy; we make this notion…

We consider cost minimizing stopping time solutions to Skorokhod embedding problems, which deal with transporting a source probability measure to a given target measure through a stopped Brownian process. PDEs and a free boundary problem…
This paper reviews (and expands) some recent results on the modeling of aggregation-diffusion phenomena at various scales, focusing on the emergence of collective dynamics as a result of the competition between attractive and repulsive…
Macro-orbital representation of a particle (detailed account given in cond-mat/0603784) has been used to develop the microscopic theory of a system of interacting bosons. It concludes that: (i) below certain temperature (say,…
We introduce and analyse a two-sided branching-selection particle system which generalises the well-known $N$-particle branching Brownian motion ($N$-BBM) model, which we call the $(N,p)$-BBM, where either the leftmost or rightmost particle…
Differential equations need boundary conditions (BC's) for their solution. It is commonly acknowledged that differential equations and BC's are representative of independent physical processes, and no correlations between them is required.…
We consider a free boundary problem for a system of PDEs, modeling the growth of a biological tissue. A morphogen, controlling volume growth, is produced by specific cells and then diffused and absorbed throughout the domain. The geometric…
Driven non-equilibrium lattice models have wide-ranging applications in contexts such as mass transport, traffic flow, and transport in biological systems. In this work, we investigate the steady-state properties of a one-dimensional…
In this short note, we review a recently developed method for analysing multi-component driven diffusive systems with open boundaries. The approach generalises the extremal-current principle known for single-component models and is based on…
We use partial differential equations (PDEs) to describe physical systems. In general, these equations include evolution and constraint equations. One method used to find solutions to these equations is the Free-evolution approach, which…
