We investigate time-dependent properties of a single particle model in which a random walker moves on a triangle and is subjected to non-local boundary conditions. This model exhibits spontaneous breaking of a Z_2 symmetry. The reduced size…
The spatio-temporal evolution of a downsized model for a desert dune is observed experimentally in a narrow water flow channel. A particle tracking method reveals that the migration speed of the model dune is one order of magnitude smaller…
In dynamical systems with distinct time scales the time evolution in phase space may be influenced strongly by the fixed points of the fast subsystem. Orbits then typically follow these points, performing in addition rapid transitions…

Bounce-averaged theories provide a framework for simulating relatively slow processes, such as collisional transport and quasilinear diffusion, by averaging these processes over the fast periodic motions of a particle on a closed orbit.…

In this work, we derive particle schemes, based on micro-macro decomposition, for linear kinetic equations in the diffusion limit. Due to the particle approximation of the micro part, a splitting between the transport and the collision part…
Frictional motion is harder to initiate than to sustain, as evident when pushing a heavy object. This disparity between static and kinetic friction drives instabilities and stick-slip dynamics in systems ranging from nanodevices and MEMS to…

We study the time evolution of classical spin systems with purely relaxational dynamics, quenched from T >> T_c to the critical point, in the semi-infinite geometry. Shortly after the quench, like in the bulk, a nonequilibrium regime…
We investigate the large time behavior of $N$ particles restricted to a smooth closed curve in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and subject to a gradient flow with respect to Euclidean hyper-singular repulsive Riesz $s$-energy with $s>1.$ We show that…
We introduce a geometric evolution equation of hyperbolic type, which governs the evolution of a hypersurface moving in the direction of its mean curvature vector. The flow stems from a geometrically natural action containing kinetic and…
