We present an effective evolution equation for a coarse-grained distribution function of a long-range-interacting system preserving the symplectic structure of the non-collisional Boltzmann, or Vlasov, equation. We first derive a general…
Inspired by holographic Wilsonian renormalization, we consider coarse graining a quantum system divided between short distance and long distance degrees of freedom, coupled via the Hamiltonian. Observations using purely long distance…
We investigate the effect of fragmentation on the homogeneous free cooling of inelastic hard spheres, using Boltzmann kinetic theory and Direct Monte Carlo simulations. We analyze in detail a model where dissipative collisions may…
We study the evolution under their self-gravity of infinite ``shuffled lattice'' particle distributions, focussing specifically on the comparison of this evolution with that of ``daughter'' particle distributions, defined by a simple…
The nonlinear Vlasov equation contains the full nonlinear dynamics and collective effects of a given Hamiltonian system. The linearized approximation is not valid for a variety of interesting systems, nor is it simple to extend to higher…
The Vlasov equation embodies the smooth field approximation of the self-consistent equation of motion for charged particle beams. This framework is fundamentally altered if we include the fluctuating forces that originate from the actual…
A semiclassical theory of linear response in finite Fermi systems, based on the Vlasov equation, and its applications to the study of isoscalar vibrations in heavy nuclei are reviewed. It is argued that the Vlasov equation can be used to…
We investigate the effect of coarse-graining on the energetics properties of a system, focusing on entropy production. As a case of study, we consider a one-dimensional colloidal particle in contact with a thermal bath, moving in a…
The coarse-graining approach to deriving the quantum Markovian master equation is revisited, with close attention given to the underlying approximations. It is further argued that the time interval over which the coarse-graining is…
A procedure suggested by Vvedensky for obtaining continuum equations as the coarse-grained limit of discrete models is applied to the restricted solid-on-solid model with both adsorption and desorption. Using an expansion of the master…
Granular systems present surprisingly complicated dynamics. In particular, nonlinear interactions and energy dissipation play important roles in these dynamics. Usually, constant coefficients of restitution are introduced phenomenologically…
Many biological systems can be described by finite Markov models. A general method for simplifying master equations is presented that is based on merging adjacent states. The approach preserves the steady-state probability distribution and…
We explore the conditions on a pair interaction for the validity of the Vlasov equation to describe the dynamics of an interacting $N$ particle system in the large $N$ limit. Using a coarse-graining in phase space of the exact Klimontovich…
Although the Vlasov equation is used as a good approximation for a sufficiently large $N$, Braun and Hepp have showed that the time evolution of the one particle distribution function of a $N$ particle classical Hamiltonian system with long…
The adiabatic particle number in mean field theory obeys a quantum Vlasov equation which is nonlocal in time. For weak, slowly varying electric fields this particle number can be identified with the single particle distribution function in…
Stochastic phenomena occurring within charged particle beams can be handled using the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck generalization of the Vlasov equation. In particular, this non-deterministic approach can deal with effects due to Coulomb scattering…
We explore a computational approach to coarse graining the evolution of the large-scale features of a randomly forced Burgers equation in one spatial dimension. The long term evolution of the solution energy spectrum appears self-similar in…
The Vlasov equation is well known to provide a good description of the dynamics of mean-field systems in the $N \to \infty$ limit. This equation has an infinity of stationary states and the case of {\it homogeneous} states, for which the…
We present a novel study of dust-vortex evolution in global two-fluid disk simulations to find out if evolution toward high dust-to-gas ratios can occur in a regime of well-coupled grains with low Stokes numbers ($St=10^{-3}-{4\times…
Particle coarsening and grain growth take place to minimize the total interfacial energy. The classical mean-field treatments by Lifshitz, Slyozov, [1] Wagner [2] and Hillert [3] predicted cubic growth law under bulk-diffusion controlled…
