In this paper we extend our recent work on two-dimensional (2D) diffusive search-and-capture processes with multiple small targets (narrow capture problems) by considering an asymptotic expansion of the Laplace transformed probability flux…
Boundary value problems for diffusion in singularly perturbed domains (domains with small holes removed from the interior) is a topic of considerable current interest. Applications include intracellular diffusive transport and the spread of…
We consider a particle undergoing diffusion with stochastic resetting in a bounded domain $\calU\subset \R^d$ for $d=2,3$. The domain is perforated by a set of partially absorbing targets within which the particle may be absorbed at a rate…
A general topic of current interest is the analysis of diffusion problems in singularly perturbed domains with small interior targets or traps (the narrow capture problem). One major application is to intracellular diffusion, where the…
The narrow escape problem consists of deriving the asymptotic expansion of the solution of a drift-diffusion equation with the Dirichlet boundary condition on a small absorbing part of the boundary and the Neumann boundary condition on the…
When a flux of Brownian particles is injected in a narrow window located on the surface of a bounded domain, these particles diffuse and can eventually escape through a cluster of narrow windows. At steady-state, we compute asymptotically…
In this paper we use singular perturbation theory to solve the 2D narrow capture problem for a set of partially accessible targets $\calU_k$, $k=1,\ldots,N$, in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \R^2$. In contrast to previous models of narrow…
A hybrid asymptotic-numerical method is presented for obtaining the full probability distribution of capture times of a random walker by multiple small traps located inside a bounded two-dimensional domain with reflective boundaries. As…
As a main result of the paper, we construct and justify an asymptotic approximation of Green's function in a domain with many small inclusions. Periodicity of the array of inclusions is not required. We start with an analysis of the…
Several classic problems for particles diffusing outside an arbitrary configuration of non-overlapping partially reactive spherical traps in three dimensions are revisited. For this purpose, we describe the generalized method of separation…
This paper concerns the use of asymptotic expansions for the efficient solving of forward and inverse problems involving a nonlinear singularly perturbed time-dependent reaction--diffusion--advection equation. By using an asymptotic…
We develop a computational approach to locate the source of a steady-state gradient of diffusing particles from the fluxes through narrow windows distributed either on the boundary of a three dimensional half-space or on a sphere. This…
The Brownian motion over the space of fluid velocity configurations driven by the hydrodynamical equations is considered. The Green function is computed in the form of an asymptotic series close to the standard diffusion kernel. The high…
When using the boundary integral equation method to solve a boundary value problem, the evaluation of the solution near the boundary is challenging to compute because the layer potentials that represent the solution are nearly-singular…
We study the long-time asymptotics of prototypical non-linear diffusion equations. Specifically, we consider the case of a non-degenerate diffusivity function that is a (non-negative) polynomial of the dependent variable of the problem. We…
We consider the Faddeev-Green function in the three-dimensional space and in a slab, and we construct formal asymptotic expansions for the large complex parameter appearing in this function. The basic idea of the construction is to express…
We consider nonlinear filters for diffusion processes when the observation and signal noises are small and of the same order. As the noise intensities approach zero, the nonlinear filter can be approximated by a certain variational problem…
We present the model of a diffusion-absorption process in a system which consists of two media separated by a thin partially permeable membrane. The kind of diffusion as well as the parameters of the process may be different in both media.…
The problem of the time required for a diffusing molecule, within a large bounded domain, to first locate a small target is prevalent in biological modeling. Here we study this problem for a small spherical target. We develop uniform in…
We perform an asymptotic analysis of general particle systems arising in collective behavior in the limit of large self-propulsion and friction forces. These asymptotics impose a fixed speed in the limit, and thus a reduction of the…
