We discuss the statistical mechanics of violent relaxation in stellar systems following the pioneering work of Lynden-Bell (1967). The solutions of the gravitational Vlasov-Poisson system develop finer and finer filaments so that a…

We consider a class of matrices with a specific structure that arises, among other examples, in dynamic models for biological regulation of enzyme synthesis (Tyson and Othmer, 1978). We first show that a stability condition given in (Tyson…
Inspired by one--dimensional light--particle systems, the dynamics of a non-Hamiltonian system with long--range forces is investigated. While the molecular dynamics does not reach an equilibrium state, it may be approximated in the…
