We present a method for solving the two-dimensional linearized collisionless Boltzmann equation using Fourier expansion along the orbits. It resembles very much solutions present in the literature, but it differs by the fact that everything…
Maxwell's equations are considered with transparent boundary conditions, for initial conditions and inhomogeneity having support in a bounded, not necessarily convex three-dimensional domain or in a collection of such domains. The numerical…
This work is concerned with the development of a space-time adaptive numerical method, based on a rigorous a posteriori error bound, for a semilinear convection-diffusion problem which may exhibit blow-up in finite time. More specifically,…
Boltzmann equation describes the time development of the velocity distribution in the continuum fluid matter. We formulate the equation using the field theory where the {\it velocity-field} plays the central role. The matter (constituent…
A key property of the linear Boltzmann semiconductor model is that as the collision frequency tends to infinity, the phase space density $f = f(x,v,t)$ converges to an isotropic function $M(v)\rho(x,t)$, called the drift-diffusion limit,…
We study the Cauchy problem for a class of third order linear anisotropic evolution equations with complex valued lower order terms depending both on time and space variables. Under suitable decay assumptions for $|x| \to \infty$ on these…
