We give a variational formulation of classical statistical mechanics where the one-body density and the local entropy distribution constitute the trial fields. Using Levy's constrained search method it is shown that the grand potential is a…

Specialized Monte Carlo simulations and the moment free energy (MFE) method are employed to study liquid-gas phase equilibria in size-disperse fluids. The investigation is made subject to the constraint of fixed polydispersity, i.e. the…

In this paper we develop a hybrid version of the encounter-based approach to diffusion-mediated absorption at a reactive surface, which takes into account stochastic switching of a diffusing particle's conformational state. For simplicity,…

Self-diffusion, $D$, in a system of particles that interact with a pseudo hard sphere potential is analyzed. Coupling with a solvent is represented by a Langevin thermostat, characterized by the damping time $t_d$. The hypotheses that…

The $\vartheta$-MGGA class of density functionals is formally reformulated as Hessian-level meta-generalized gradient approximations (HL-MGGAs). In contrast to standard meta-GGAs that rely on the orbital-dependent kinetic-energy density or…

Laplace's first law of errors, which states that the frequency of an error can be represented as an exponential function of the error magnitude, was overlooked for many decades but was recently shown to describe the statistical behavior of…

We consider $\mathbb{R}^d$-valued diffusion processes of type \begin{align*} dX_t\ =\ b(X_t)dt\, +\, dB_t. \end{align*} Assuming a geometric drift condition, we establish contractions of the transitions kernels in Kantorovich ($L^1$…

We review the progress that has been recently made in the application of time-dependent density functional theory to thermoelectric phenomena. As the field is very young, we emphasize open problems and fundamental issues. We begin by…
