This work is devoted to the derivation and the matematical study of a new model for water-soluble polymers and metal ions interactions, which are used in chemistry for their wide range of applications. First, we motivate and derive a model…
The dynamics of polymer decompression, i.e., a process from compressed, compact state to the relaxed swoll en conformation, can be formally described as a {\it nonlinear diffusion}. We discuss here two basic examples: (i) the expansion, or…
Accurate descriptions of reference systems are a central task in liquid-state theories for the study of more complex systems. Using scaled particle theory (SPT), we derive a fully analytical description of the thermodynamic properties of a…

Despite the fact that the theory of mixtures has been part of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and engineering for a long time, it is far from complete. While it is well formulated and tested in the case of mechanical equilibrium (where only…
In this paper, some equations are derived to describe the out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics of colloidal suspensions. These results are obtained assuming that the properties of the colloids essentially come from their surfaces which are…
We study the Dirichlet boundary value problem for viscoelastic diffusion in polymers. We show that its weak solutions generate a dissipative semiflow. We construct the minimal trajectory attractor and the global attractor for this problem.
In Physica A vol 387(24) (2008) pp6079-6094 [1], a kinetic equation for gas flows was proposed that leads to a set of four macroscopic conservation equations, rather than the traditional set of three equations. The additional equation…
We present simple and stable formulas for computing power (including absorbed/radiated, scattered and extinction power) in current-based volume integral equation formulations. The proposed formulas are given in terms of vector-matrix-vector…
We describe the crossover from generalized hydrodynamics to conventional hydrodynamics in nearly integrable systems. Integrable systems have infinitely many conserved quantities, which spread ballistically in general. When integrability is…
We describe an exact and highly efficient numerical algorithm for solving a special but important class of convection-diffusion equations. These equations occur in many problems in physics, chemistry, or biology, and they are usually hard…

We discuss the extension of the empirical equation: $\left\langle s_{N}^{2}\right\rangle_{0}\propto g\,l^{2}$, where the subscript 0 denotes the ideal value with no excluded volume and $g$ the generation number from the root to the youngest…
In this note we give upper bounds for the free energy of discrete polymers in random media. The bounds are given by the so-called generalized multiplicative cascades from the statistical theory of turbulence. For the polymer model, we…
Diffusion of a particle in the N-dimensional external potential which is periodic in one dimension and unbounded in the other N-1 dimensions is investigated. We find an analytical expression for the overdamped diffusion and study…
We present results about large deviations and laws of large numbers for various polymer related quantities. In a completely general setting and strictly positive temperature, we present results about large deviations for directed polymers…
Two alternative hypotheses try to explain the origin of the continuum. The present communication gives new argument in favor of the dimer hypothesis. This argument is based on the existence of the wide component of line in absorption…

We use the method of dimensional reduction to show that a branching polymer with excluded volume interaction confined between two flat plates has, in the thermodynamic limit, a confinement free energy and density profile that is the same as…
