The present work concerns the derivation of a numerical scheme to approximate weak solutions of the Euler equations with a gravitational source term. The designed scheme is proved to be fully well-balanced since it is able to exactly…
Symmetry-breaking order at low temperatures is often accompanied by slow relaxation dynamics, due to diverging free-energy barriers arising from interfaces between different ordered states. Here, we extend this correspondence to classical…
Entropy and free-energy estimation are key in thermodynamic characterization of simulated systems ranging from spin models through polymers, colloids, protein structure, and drug-design. Current techniques suffer from being model specific,…
We give the basic definition of algebraic entropy for lattice equations. The entropy is a canonical measure of the complexity of the dynamics they define. Its vanishing is a signal of integrability, and can be used as a powerful…
Entanglement entropy is a valuable tool for characterizing the correlation structure of quantum field theories. When applied to gauge theories, subtleties arise which prevent the factorization of the Hilbert space underlying the notion of…

In this Letter, we investigate the stability of the statistical equilibrium of spherically symmetric collisionless self-gravitating systems. By calculating the second variation of the entropy, we find that perturbations of the relevant…
We consider a hydrodynamic model of flocking-type with all-to-all interaction kernel in a periodic domain in one-space dimension with linear pressure term. The main result is the global existence of periodic entropy weak solutions, for…
In this paper we study weak-strong uniqueness and singular relaxation limits for the Euler--Korteweg and Navier--Stokes--Korteweg systems with non monotone pressure. Both weak-strong uniqueness and the relaxation limit are investigated…
Certain thermal non-equilibrium situations, outside of the astrophysical realm, suggest that entropy production extrema, instead of entropy extrema, are related to stationary states. In an effort to better understand the evolution of…
We introduce a generalization of relative entropy derived from the Wigner-Yanase-Dyson entropy and give a simple, self-contained proof that it is convex. Moreover, special cases yield the joint convexity of relative entropy, and for the map…
In this article, we consider a class of the contact discontinuity for the full compressible Euler equations, namely the entropy wave, where the velocity is continuous across the interface while the density and the entropy can have jumps.…
Open lattices are characterized by low volume-fraction arrangements of building blocks, low coordination number, and open spaces between building blocks. The self-assembly of these lattices faces the challenge of mechanical instability due…
In this article, we study a thermodynamically consistent thermo-visco-elastic model describing the balance of internal energy in a heat-conducting inelastic body. In the considered problem, the temperature dependence appears in both the…
The historical process of the genesis of the extensive or substance-like quantities took place in two steps. First, global conservation or non-conservation was discovered. Only later did it become possible to formulate the balance locally…
We make a rigorous computation of the relative entropy between the vacuum state and a coherent state for a free scalar in the framework of AQFT. We study the case of the Rindler Wedge. Previous calculations including path integral methods…
Wave turbulence is the study of the long-time statistical behaviour of equations describing a set of weakly non-linear interacting waves. Such a theory, which has a natural asymptotic closure, allows us to probe the nature of turbulence…
We analyze the shock formation process for the 3d non-isentropic Euler equations with the ideal gas law, in which sounds waves interact with entropy waves to produce vorticity. Building on our theory for isentropic flows in [3,4], we give a…
We discuss a class of coupled systems of nonlocal nonlinear balance laws modeling multilane traffic, with the nonlocality present in both convective and source terms. The uniqueness and existence of the entropy solution are proven via…
Metriplectic dynamical systems consist of a special combination of a Hamiltonian and a (generalized) entropy-gradient flow, such that the Hamiltonian is conserved and entropy is dissipated/produced (depending on a sign convention). It is…
