We consider the homogeneous and isotropic cosmological fluid dynamics which is compatible with a homothetic, timelike motion, equivalent to an equation of state $\rho + 3P = 0$. By splitting the total pressure $P$ into the sum of an…
We study a Smoluchowski equation describing a simple mean-field model of particles moving in $d$ dimensions and aggregating with conservation of `mass' $s=R^D$ ($R$ is the particle radius). In the scaling regime the scaled mass distribution…
Although it is not a fundamental question, to determine exact and general solutions for a given theory has advantages over a numerical integration in many specific cases. Of course, respecting the peculiarities of the problem. Revisiting…
We investigate the evolution of a particle in a Lorentz gas where the background scatters move and collide with each other. As in the standard Lorentz gas, we assume that the particle is negligibly light in comparison with scatters. We show…

We apply methods of dynamical systems to study the behaviour of universe dominated by the generalized Chaplygin gas. We reduce the dynamics to a 2-dimensional Hamiltonian system and study its behaviour for various ranges of parameters. The…
Landau damping is the tendency of solutions to the Vlasov equation towards spatially homogeneous distribution functions. The distribution functions however approach the spatially homogeneous manifold only weakly, and Boltzmann entropy is…
We consider a two-dimensional Lorentz gas with infinite horizon. This paradigmatic model consists of pointlike particles undergoing elastic collisions with fixed scatterers arranged on a periodic lattice. It was rigorously shown that when…
The global energy fluctuations of a low density gas granular gas in the homogeneous cooling state near its clustering instability are studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations. The relative dispersion of the fluctuations is shown…

We consider static charged fluid spheres with a cosmological constant. We assume a polytropic equation of state, $p \propto \rho^\Gamma$, and a power law charge distribution, $q\propto r^n$. Using this, we convert the generalised…
The damped isothermal Euler equations, the Smoluchowski equation and the damped logarithmic Schr\"odinger equation with a harmonic potential admit stationary and self-similar solutions with a Gaussian profile. They satisfy an $H$-theorem…
A study of the gas dynamics of a dilute collection of the inelastically colliding hard spheres is presented. When diffusive processes are neglected the gas density blows up in a finite time. The blowup is the mathematical expression for one…
We study here the steady state attained in a granular gas of inelastic rough spheres that is subject to a spatially uniform random volume force. The stochastic force has the form of the so-called white noise and acts by adding impulse to…
We obtain two equations (following from two different approaches) for the density profile in a self-gravitating polytropic cylindrically symmetric and rotating turbulent gas disk. The adopted physical picture is appropriate to describe the…
We prove a law of large numbers and a functional central limit theorem for the empirical density of a Marcus-Lushnikov model. The limiting density turns out to be the solution of a Smoluchowski equation, and the fluctuations around this…
We study the cosmological scenario arising from the dynamics of a generalized Chaplygin gas. The equation of state of the system is given in terms of the energy density, $\rho$, and pressure, $p$, by the relationship $p = -…
