The deviations from a purely exponential behavior in a decay process are analyzed in relation to Van Hove's "\lambda^2 t" limiting procedure. Our attention is focused on the effects that arise when the coupling constant is small but…
A semilinear version of parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system with the \emph{critical} nonlocal diffusion is considered in one space dimension. We show boundedness of weak solutions under very general conditions on our semilinearity. It…
The probability of observing a large deviation (LD) in the number of particles in a region $\Lambda$ in a dilute quantum gas contained in a much larger region $V$ is shown to decay as $\exp[-|\Lambda|\Delta F]$, where $|\L|$ is the volume…
We consider polynomial long-range Ising models in one dimension, with ferromagnetic pair interactions decaying with power $2-\alpha$ (for $0 \leq \alpha < 1$), and prepared with randomly chosen boundary conditions. We show that at low…
We consider the homogeneous heat equation in a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with vanishing initial data and the Dirichlet boundary condition. We are looking for solutions in $W^{r,s}_{p,q}(\Omega\times(0,T))$, where $r < 2$, $s < 1$,…
Motivated by models of signaling pathways in B lymphocytes, which have extremely large nuclei, we study the question of how reaction-diffusion equations in thin $2D$ domains may be approximated by diffusion equations in regions of smaller…
This paper deals with boundedness results for weak solutions of an elliptic equation where the functions are Carath\'eodory functions satisfying certain $p$-structure conditions that have critical growth even on the boundary. Based on a…
We give sharp conditions for the large time asymptotic simplification of aggregation-diffusion equations with linear diffusion. As soon as the interaction potential is bounded and its first and second derivatives decay fast enough at…
We present the results of a percolation-like model that has been restricted compared to standard percolation models in the sense that we do not allow finite sized clusters to break up once they have formed. We calculate the critical…
We study a class of self-adjoint operators defined on the direct sum of two Hilbert spaces: a finite dimensional one called sometimes a ``small subsystem'' and an infinite dimensional one -- a ``reservoir''. The operator, which we call a…
Imposing either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on the boundary of a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$, we study the perturbation incurred by the voltage potential when the conductivity is modified in a set of small measure. We…
We report a molecular dynamics simulation of a supercooled simple monatomic glass-forming liquid. It is found that the onset of the supercooled regime results in formation of distinct domains of slow diffusion which are confined to the…
A particle in a one-dimensional delta-function potential and particle in a box are two well-known pedagogical examples; their combination, particle in a box with a delta-function potential V_\lambda(x)=\lambda\delta(x-x_0), too, has been…
Composite systems, where couplings are of two types, a combination of strong dilute and weak dense couplings of Ising spins, are examined through the replica method. The dilute and dense parts are considered to have independent canonical…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded smooth domain (open and connected) in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Given $u_0\in L^2(\Omega)$, $g\in L^\infty(\Omega)$ and $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, our purpose is to describe the asymptotic behavior of…

Imagine a scenario in which the dark energy forms via the condensation of dark matter at some low redshift. The Compton wavelength therefore changes from small to very large at the transition, unlike quintessence or metamorphosis. We study…
A MEMS model with an insulating layer is considered and its reinforced limit is derived by means of a Gamma convergence approach when the thickness of the layer tends to zero. The limiting model inherits the dielectric properties of the…
