This paper is devoted to variational problems on the set of probability measures which involve optimal transport between unequal dimensional spaces. In particular, we study the minimization of a functional consisting of the sum of a term…

We derive a Lorentz invariant distribution of velocities for a relativistic gas. Our derivation is based on three pillars: the special theory of relativity, the central limit theorem and the Lobachevskyian structure of the velocity space of…

The classical problem of steady rarefied gas flow past an infinitely thin circular disk is revisited, with particular emphasis on the gas behavior near the disk edge. The uniform flow is assumed to be perpendicular to the disk surface. An…

One of the oldest problems in physics is that of calculating the motion of $N$ particles under a specified mutual force: the $N$-body problem. Much is known about this problem if the specified force is non-relativistic gravity, and…

We deal with the obstacle problem for the porous medium equation in the slow diffusion regime $m>1$. Our main interest is to treat fairly irregular obstacles assuming only boundedness and lower semicontinuity. In particular, the considered…

We study the problem of homogenization for inertial particles moving in a time dependent random velocity field and subject to molecular diffusion. We show that, under appropriate assumptions on the velocity field, the large--scale,…

Analytical models describing the motion of colloidal particles in given velocity fields are presented. In addition to local approaches, leading to well known master equations such as the Langevin and the Fokker-Planck equations, a global…

We consider a two-dimensional, incompressible fluid body, together with self-induced interactions. The body is perturbed by an external particle with small mass. The whole configuration rotates uniformly around the common center of mass. We…

We address the problem of the so-called ``granular gases'', i.e. gases of massive particles in rapid movement undergoing inelastic collisions. We introduce a class of models of driven granular gases for which the stationary state is the…

We consider the N-body problem in (1+1) dimensional lineal gravity. For 2 point masses (N=2) we obtain an exact solution for the relativistic motion. In the equal mass case we obtain an explicit expression for their proper separation as a…

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…

We study the motion of an inertial particle in a fractional Gaussian random field. The motion of the particle is described by Newton's second law, where the force is proportional to the difference between a background fluid velocity and the…

We consider the two dimensional motion of a particle into a confining potential, subjected to Brownian forces, associated with two different temperatures on the orthogonal directions. Exact solutions are obtained for an asymmetric harmonic…

We perform large-scale event-driven Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for granular gases of particles interacting with the impact-velocity dependent restitution coefficient. We use the simplest first-principle collision model of…

We study the equilibrium and near-equilibrium properties of a holographic five-dimensional model consisting of Einstein gravity coupled to a scalar field with a non-trivial potential. The dual four-dimensional gauge theory is not conformal…

The non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and kinetic theory for a model of a confined quasi-two-dimensional gas of inelastic hard spheres is presented. The dynamics of the particles includes an effective mechanism to transfer the energy…

We study the large-time behavior of finite-energy weak solutions for the Vlasov-Navier-Stokes equations in a two-dimensional torus. We focus first on the homogeneous case where the ambient (incompressible and viscous) fluid carrying the…

We revisit the problem of the particle dynamics subject to a geometric holonomic constraint of codimension 1 in spatial dimensions d =2 and 3. In the absence of dissipation, we show that by solving the Lagrangian multiplier in a general…

We consider an approximation of the linearised equation of the homogeneous Boltzmann equation that describes the distribution of quasiparticles in a dilute gas of bosons at low temperature. The corresponding collision frequency is neither…

The exact evolution in time and space of a distribution of the temperature (or density of diffusing matter) in an isotropic homogeneous medium is determined where the initial distribution is described by a piecewise polynomial. In two…
