We consider the compressible Euler system for ideal gas flow in the absence of any forces except the internal thermodynamic pressure. In this setting, and in dimensions higher 1, it is known that wave-focusing can drive Euler solutions to…
We show that the Poincar\'e return time of a typical cylinder is at least its length. For one dimensional maps we express the Lyapunov exponent and dimension via return times.
We consider the scattering of time-harmonic electromagnetic waves by a penetrable thin tubular scattering object in three-dimensional free space. We establish an asymptotic representation formula for the scattered wave away from the thin…
An initial-boundary value problem for the time-fractional diffusion equation is discretized in space using continuous piecewise-linear finite elements on a polygonal domain with a re-entrant corner. Known error bounds for the case of a…
A formalism for describing relativistic ponderomotive effects, which occur in the dynamics of an electron driven by a focused relativisticaly intense optical envelope, is established on the basis of a rigorous asymptotic expansion of the…
We consider the free-boundary relativistic Euler equations in Minkowski spacetime $\mathbb{M}^{1+3}$ equipped with a physical vacuum boundary, which models the motion of a relativistic gas. We concern ourselves with the family of…
The dynamics of a point charged particle which is driven by a uniform external electric field and moves in a medium of elastic scatterers is investigated. Using rudimentary approaches, we reproduce, in one dimension, the known results that…
One dimensional intermittent maps with stretched exponential separation of nearby trajectories are considered. When time goes infinity the standard Lyapunov exponent is zero. We investigate the distribution of $\lambda_{\alpha}=…
We study the dynamics of a point particle in a periodic array of spherical scatterers, and construct a stochastic process that governs the time evolution for random initial data in the limit of low scatterer density (Boltzmann-Grad limit).…
We study the Fleming-Viot particle process formed by N interacting continuous-time asymmetric random walks on the cycle graph, with uniform killing. We show that this model has a remarkable exact solvability, despite the fact that it is…
We present a detailed study of the first simple mechanical system that shows fully realistic transport behavior while still being exactly solvable at the level of equilibrium statistical mechanics. The system under consideration is a…
In the framework of irreversible thermodynamics, we study autonomous systems of reaction-diffusion equations to show how the entropy and free energy of an open and irreversible reactor depend on concentrations. To do this, we find a…
A cycle expansion for the Lyapunov exponent of a product of random matrices is derived. The formula is non-perturbative and numerically effective, which allows the Lyapunov exponent to be computed to high accuracy. In particular, the free…
We consider the billiard dynamics in a non-compact set of R^d that is constructed as a bi-infinite chain of translated copies of the same d-dimensional polytope. A random configuration of semi-dispersing scatterers is placed in each copy.…
We study the effect of a random perturbation on a one-parameter family of dynamical systems whose behavior in the absence of perturbation is ill understood. We provide conditions under which the perturbed system is ergodic and admits a…
We consider a general method for computing the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents for moderately dense gases. This method is based upon hierarchy techniques used previously to derive the generalized Boltzmann equation for the time dependent…
We prove approach to thermal equilibrium for the fully Hamiltonian dynamics of a dynamical Lorentz gas, by which we mean an ensemble of particles moving through a $d$-dimensional array of fixed soft scatterers that each possess an internal…
The concept of Lyapunov exponent has long occupied a central place in the theory of Anderson localisation; its interest in this particular context is that it provides a reasonable measure of the localisation length. The Lyapunov exponent…
In this paper we deal with further recent developments, strictly connected to the recent result obtained by Basile, Nota, Pezzotti and Pulvirenti. We consider the Lorentz gas out of equilibrium in a weak coupling regime. Each obstacle of…
This paper investigates the inverse scattering problem of time-harmonic plane waves incident on a perfectly reflecting random periodic structure. To simulate random perturbations arising from manufacturing defects and surface wear in…
