The mean-field reaction-diffusion equations of the diffusive pair-annihilation and triplett-annihilation processes are considered. A direct lower bound on the time-dependent mean particle-density is derived. The results are applied to the…
The dynamical mean-field concept of approximating an unsolvable many-body problem in terms of the solution of an auxiliary quantum impurity problem, introduced to study bulk materials with a continuous energy spectrum, is here extended to…
The structural properties of polymers adsorbed onto a surface have been widely investigated using self-consistent mean-field theories. Recently, analytical mean-field theories have been applied to study polymer adsorption on curved surfaces…
A pathwise large deviation principle in the Wasserstein topology and a pathwise central limit theorem are proved for the empirical measure of a mean-field system of interacting diffusions. The coefficients are path-dependent. The framework…
We present a combined analytical and numerical approach based on the Mori projection operator formalism and Monte Carlo simulations to study surface diffusion within the lattice-gas model. In the present theory, the average jump rate and…
Describing particle transport at the macroscopic or mesoscopic level in non-ideal environments poses fundamental theoretical challenges in domains ranging from inter and intra-cellular transport in biology to diffusion in porous media. Yet,…
Diffusion is a key element of a large set of phenomena occurring on natural and social systems modeled in terms of complex weighted networks. Here, we introduce a general formalism that allows to easily write down mean-field equations for…
Lateral diffusion of molecules on surfaces plays a very important role in various biological processes, including lipid transport across the cell membrane, synaptic transmission and other phenomena such as exo- and endocytosis, signal…
Random sequential adsorption (RSA) models have been studied due to their relevance to deposition processes on surfaces. The depositing particles are represented by hard-core extended objects; they are not allowed to overlap. Numerical Monte…
The formation of stable dimers on top of terraces during epitaxial growth is investigated in detail. In this paper we focus on mean-field theory, the standard approach to study nucleation. Such theory is shown to be unsuitable for the…
A multi-phase-field model for the description of the discontinuous precipitation reaction is formulated which takes into account surface diffusion along grain boundaries and interfaces as well as volume diffusion. Simulations reveal that…
We review and refine the concept of a mean-field theory for the study of sandpile models, which are of central importance in the study of self-organized criticality. By considering the simple one-dimensional random walker with an absorbing…
We derive the hydrodynamic limit of a kinetic equation with a stochastic, short range perturbation of the velocity operator. Under some mixing hypotheses on the stochastic perturbation, we establish a diffusion-approximation result: the…
Discontinuous transitions into absorbing states require an effective mechanism that prevents the stabilization of low density states. They can be found in different systems, such as lattice models or stochastic differential equations (e.g.…
The influence of nearest-neighbor diffusion on the decay of a metastable low-coverage phase (monolayer adsorption) in a square lattice-gas model of electrochemical metal deposition is investigated by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The…
We study statistical properties of a continuum model of polynuclear surface growth on an infinite substrate. We develop a self-consistent mean-field theory which is solved to deduce the growth velocity and the extremal behavior of the…
An analytical theory is presented for the damping of low-frequency adsorbate vibrations via resonant coupling to the substrate phonons. The system is treated classically, with the substrate modeled as a semi-infinite elastic continuum and…
The Markovian diffusion theory in the phase space is generalized within the framework of the general theory of relativity. The introduction of moving orthonormal frame vectors both for the position as well the velocity space enables to…
We study in detail a one-dimensional lattice model of a continuum, conserved field (mass) that is transferred deterministically between neighbouring random sites. The model falls in a wider class of lattice models capturing the joint effect…
We considered diffusion-driven processes on small-world networks with distance-dependent random links. The study of diffusion on such networks is motivated by transport on randomly folded polymer chains, synchronization problems in…
