Collective behaviour in biological systems pitches us against theoretical challenges way beyond the borders of ordinary statistical physics. The lack of concepts like scaling and renormalization is particularly grievous, as it forces us to…
In this article, we propose and study several discrete versions of homogeneous and inhomogeneous one-dimensional Fokker-Planck equations. In particular, for these discretizations of velocity and space, we prove the exponential convergence…
We present a class of self-similar solutions describing ultrahigh compression of a uniform-density target by spherically converging, stacked shock waves. Extending the classical Guderley model, we derive a scaling law for the final density…
We consider Smoluchowski's coagulation equation with kernels of homogeneity one of the form $K_{\varepsilon }(\xi,\eta) =\big( \xi^{1-\varepsilon }+\eta^{1-\varepsilon }\big)\big ( \xi\eta\big) ^{\frac{\varepsilon }{2}}$. Heuristically, in…

This paper deals with a method for the approximation of a spectral density function among the solutions of a generalized moment problem a` la Byrnes/Georgiou/Lindquist. The approximation is pursued with respect to the Kullback-Leibler…
We prove that a system of locally interacting diffusions carrying discrete masses, subject to an environmental noise and undergoing mass coagulation, converges to a system of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) with…

We consider the Cauchy problem for homogeneous linear $q$-difference-differential equations with constant coefficients. We characterise convergent, $k$-summable and multisummable formal power series solutions in terms of analytic…
Smoluchowski's coagulation equation is a mean-field model describing the growth of clusters by successive mergers. Since its derivation in 1916 it has been studied by several authors, using deterministic and stochastic approaches, with a…
We prove uniqueness of measure solutions for a multi-component version of Smoluchowski's coagulation equation. The result is valid for a broad range of coagulation kernels and allows to include a source term. The classical coagulation…
We report a number of exact solutions for temperature-dependent Smoluchowski equations. These equations quantify the ballistic agglomeration, where the evolution of densities of agglomerates of different size is entangled with the evolution…
We demonstrate the utility of the equation free methodology developed by one of the authors (I.G.K) for the study of scalar conservation laws with disordered initial conditions. The numerical scheme is benchmarked on exact solutions in…
In this thesis the Cauchy problem and in particular the question of singularity formation for co--rotational wave maps from 3+1 Minkowski space to the three--sphere $S^3$ is studied. Numerics indicate that self--similar solutions of this…
Using the Abstract Cauchy-Kowalewski Theorem we prove that the $b$-family equation admits, locally in time, a unique analytic solution. Moreover, if the initial data is real analytic and it belongs to $H^s$ with $s > 3/2$, and the momentum…
