Motivated by the recent experiment by Marguerite et al. [1] on imaging in graphene samples, we investigate theoretically the dissipation induced by resonant impurities in the quantum Hall regime. The impurity induced forward scattering of…
We consider a reaction-diffusion equation with nonlocal anisotropic diffusion and a linear combination of local and nonlocal monostable-type reactions in a space of bounded functions on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Using the properties of the…
The adsorption phenomenon of neutral particles from the limiting surfaces of the sample in the Langmuir approximation is investigated. The diffusion equation regulating the redistribution of particles in the bulk is assumed to be of…
Localisation limits and nonlocal approximations of degenerate parabolic systems have experienced a renaissance in recent years. However, only few results cover anisotropic systems. This work addresses this gap by establishing the…
Inhomogeneous environments are rather ubiquitous in nature, often implying anomalies resulting in deviation from Gaussianity of diffusion processes. While sub- and superdiffusion are usually due to conversing environmental features…
We prove convergence of suitable subsequences of weak solutions of a diffuse interface model for the two-phase flow of incompressible fluids with different densities with a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation to weak solutions of the…
When a quantum system is macroscopic and becomes entangled with a microscopic one, this entanglement is not immediately total, but gradual and local. A study of this locality is the starting point of the present work and shows unexpected…
We investigate a method for extracting nonlinear principal components (NPCs). These NPCs maximize variation subject to smoothness and orthogonality constraints; but we allow for a general class of constraints and multivariate probability…
Dilute granular flows are routinely described by collisional kinetic theory, but dense flows require a fundamentally different approach, due to long-lasting, many-body contacts. In the case of silo drainage, many continuum models have been…
Density-dependent potentials are frequently used in materials simulations due to their approximate description of many-body effects at minimal computational cost. However, in order to apply such models to multi-component systems, an…
Recent experiments have shown that spatial dispersion may have a conspicuous impact on the response of plasmonic structures. This suggests that in some cases the Drude model should be replaced by more advanced descriptions that take spatial…
The diffusion of electronic wave packets in one-dimensional systems with on-site, binary disorder is numerically investigated within the framework of a single-band tight-binding model. Fractal properties are incorporated by assuming that…
We report evidence of large, nonlocal correlations between two spatially separated normal metals in superconductor/normal-metal (SN) heterostructures, which manifest themselves a nonlocal voltage generated in response to a driving current.…
This paper is devoted to a nonlocal dispersal logistic model with seasonal succession in one-dimensional bounded habitat, where the seasonal succession accounts for the effect of two different seasons. Firstly, we provide the…
The paper deals with second order parabolic equations on bounded domains with Dirichlet conditions in arbitrary Euclidean spaces. Their interest comes from being models for describing reaction-diffusion processes in several frameworks. A…
The diffusion of hard-core particles subject to a global bias is described by a nonlinear, anisotropic generalization of the diffusion equation with conserved, local noise. Using renormalization group techniques, we analyze the effect of an…
When ions move through solids, they interact with the solid's constituent atoms and cause them to vibrate around their equilibrium points. This vibration, in turn, modifies the potential landscape through which the mobile ions travel.…
Usually, in a non-equilibrium setting, a current brings mass from the highest density regions to the lowest density ones. Although rare, the opposite phenomenon (known as "uphill diffusion") has also been observed in multicomponent systems,…

We address the problem of a front propagation in chains with a bi-stable nondegenerate on-site potential and a nonlinear gradient coupling. For a generic nonlinear coupling, one encounters a special regime of transitions, characterized by…
