Dynamical mean-field approximations are performed to study the phase transition of a pair contact process with diffusion in different spatial dimensions. The level of approximation is extended up to 18-site clusters for the one-dimensional…
Validity of fluid models breaks down for non-thermal or weakly collisional plasmas which often occur e.g. in the solar wind. In these regimes one has to resort to modelling through the first-principle Vlasov-Maxwell system, but its…
Collective migration of eukaryotic cells is often guided by chemotaxis, and is critical in several biological processes, such as cancer metastasis, wound healing, and embryogenesis. Understanding collective chemotaxis has challenged…
