This paper concerns hyperbolic systems of two linear first-order PDEs in one space dimension with periodicity conditions in time and reflection boundary conditions in space. The coefficients of the PDEs are supposed to be time independent,…
We consider the compressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier system on time-dependent domains with prescribed motion of the boundary, supplemented with slip boundary conditions for the velocity. Assuming that the pressure can be decomposed into an…
We investigate symmetry breaking in a time-dependent billiard that undergoes a continuous phase transition when dissipation is introduced. The system presents unlimited velocity, and thus energy growth for the conservative dynamics. When…
Statistical equilibration of energies in a slow-fast system is a fundamental open problem in physics. In a recent paper, it was shown that the equilibration rate in a springy billiard can remain strictly positive in the limit of vanishing…
In this paper we derive, starting from the basic principles of Thermodynamics, an extended version of the nonconserved Penrose-Fife phase transition model, in which dynamic boundary conditions are considered in order to take into account…
The freeze out of the expanding systems, created in relativistic heavy ion collisions, is discussed. We combine kinetic freeze out equations with Bjorken type system expansion into a unified model. The important feature of the proposed…
We study some statistical properties for the behavior of the average squared velocity -- hence the temperature -- for an ensemble of classical particles moving in a billiard whose boundary is time dependent. We assume the collisions of the…
Metastability appears when a thermodynamic system, such as supercooled water (which is liquid below freezing temperature), lands on the "wrong" side of a phase transition, and remains for a very long time in a state different from its…
In this paper, we study a hydrodynamic phase-field system modeling the deformation of functionalized membranes in incompressible viscous fluids. The governing PDE system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with a convective…
The equation of state of a system at equilibrium may be derived from the canonical or the grand canonical partition function. The former is a function of temperature T, while the latter also depends on the chemical potential \mu for…
In this article, we investigate the existence and properties of time-periodic solutions for damped evolutionary partial differential equations subject to periodic forcing. Particular emphasis is placed on configurations where the energy…
We study the convergence towards the equilibrium for a dissipative and stochastic time-dependent oval billiard. The dynamics of the system is described by using a generic four dimensional nonlinear map for the variables: the angular…
This article discusses a unified convergence analysis of the semilinear time-dependent equation $\partial_t u + (-1)^\mathrm{m}\Delta^{\mathrm{m}}u + u^3 - u = f$ with $\mathrm{m} \in \{1,2\}$ and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions.…
Results on unconditional convergence in the Maximum norm for ADI-type methods, such as the Douglas method, applied to the time integration of semilinear parabolic problems are quite difficult to get, mainly when the number of space…
The East model has a dynamical phase transition between an active (fluid) and inactive (glass) state. We show that this phase transition generalizes to "softened" systems where constraint violations are allowed with small but finite…
We study a simplified Ericksen-Leslie system modeling the flow of nematic liquid crystals with partially free boundary conditions. It is a coupled system between the Navier-Stokes equation for the fluid velocity with a transported heat flow…

We consider a particle living in $\mathbb{R}_+$, whose velocity is a positive recurrent diffusion with heavy-tailed invariant distribution when the particle lives in $(0,\infty)$. When it hits the boundary $x=0$, the particle restarts with…
