We derive general trade-off relations among the power, efficiency, and constancy for two-terminal thermoelectric systems in the linear response regime. Constancy, which quantifies the steadiness of the heat engine, is measured by its…

Recently, Benzoni--Gavage, Danchin, Descombes, and Jamet have given a sufficient condition for linear and nonlinear stability of solitary wave solutions of Korteweg's model for phase-transitional isentropic gas dynamics in terms of…

Well-posedness of a reversible variant of the Gray-Scott model is shown, along with the convergence of each trajectory to one of the two spatially homogeneous steady states. The principle of linearized stability provides the local…

At present, there is an abundance of results showing that the phase-field approach to fracture in elastic brittle materials -- when properly accounting for material strength -- describes the \emph{nucleation} of fracture from large…

We present a continuum theory which predicts the steady state propagation of cracks. The theory overcomes the usual problem of a finite time cusp singularity of the Grinfeld instability by the inclusion of elastodynamic effects which…

A recently introduced model describing -on a 1d lattice- the velocity field of a granular fluid is discussed in detail. The dynamics of the velocity field occurs through next-neighbours inelastic collisions which conserve momentum but…

We derive the effective equations for the out of equilibrium time evolution of the order parameter and the fluctuations of a scalar field theory in spatially flat FRW cosmologies.The calculation is performed both to one-loop and in a…

We show that thermodynamics can be formulated naturally from the intrinsic geometry of phase space alone-without postulating an ensemble, which instead emerges from the geometric structure itself. Within this formulation, phase transitions…

In this paper we prove the existence of quasistatic evolutions for a cohesive fracture on a prescribed crack surface, in small-strain antiplane elasticity. The main feature of the model is that the density of the energy dissipated in the…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking is well understood under equilibrium conditions as a consequence of the singularity of the thermodynamic limit. How a single global orientation of the order parameter dynamically emerges from an initially…

We present a nonperturbative, first-principles numerical approach for time-dependent problems in the framework of quantum field theory. In this approach the time evolution of quantum field systems is treated in real time and at the…

In this work we introduce a new system of partial differential equations as a simplified model for the evolution of reversible martensitic transformations under thermal cycling in low hysteresis alloys. The model is developed in the context…

Spontaneous symmetry-breaking in phase transitions occurs when the system Hamiltonian is symmetric under a certain transformation, but the equilibrium states observed in nature are not. Here, we prove that when a discrete symmetry is…

Multifield models with a curved field space have already been shown to be able to provide viable quintessence models for steep potentials that satisfy swampland bounds. The simplest dynamical systems of this type are obtained by coupling…

The approach of nonequilibrium evolution thermodynamics earlier offered is developed. It helps to describe the processes of defect formation within the adiabatic approximation. The basic equations system depends on the initial defects…

We analyze a variable-step extension of a family of arbitrarily high-order exponential time differencing multistep (ETD-MS) schemes recently developed by the authors. We prove that the schemes are unconditionally stable in the sense that a…

We study the phase space of the evolution equation h_t = -(f(h) h_{xxx})_x - (g(h) h_x)_x by means of a dissipated energy (a Liapunov function). Here h(x,t) is nonnegative, and at h=0 the coefficient functions f>0 and g can either…

We extend the weak-strong uniqueness principle for mean-field game (MFG) systems to a broad class of second-order stationary and time-dependent problems. Under standard monotonicity, growth, and coercivity assumptions on the Hamiltonian,…

To mimic the complex transport-like collective phenomena in a man-made or natural system, we study an open network junction model of totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with bulk particle attachment and detachment. The stationary…

The equilibrium state of a system consisting of a large number of strongly interacting electrons can be characterized by its density operator. This gives a direct access to the ground-state energy or, at finite temperatures, to the free…
