We consider a kinetic model whose evolution is described by a Boltzmann-like equation for the one-particle phase space distribution $f(x,v,t)$. There are hard-sphere collisions between the particles as well as collisions with randomly fixed scatterers. As a result, this evolution does not conserve momentum but only mass and energy. We prove that the diffusively rescaled $f^varepsilon(x,v,t)=f(varepsilon^{-1}x,v,varepsilon^{-2}t)$, as $varepsilonto 0$ tends to a Maxwellian $M_{rho, 0, T}=frac{rho}{(2pi T)^{3/2}}exp[{-frac{|v|^2}{2T}}]$, where $rho$ and $T$ are solutions of coupled diffusion equations and estimate the error in $L^2_{x,v}$.

The quantitative information on the spectral gaps for the linearized Boltzmann operator is of primary importance on justifying the Boltzmann model and study of relaxation to equilibrium. This work, for the first time, provides numerical evidences on the existence of spectral gaps and corresponding approximate values. The linearized Boltzmann operator is projected onto a Discontinuous Galerkin mesh, resulting in a collision matrix. The original spectral gap problem is then approximated by a constrained minimization problem, with objective function being the Rayleigh quotient of the collision matrix and with constraints being the conservation laws. A conservation correction then applies. We also showed the convergence of the approximate Rayleigh quotient to the real spectral gap for the case of integrable angular cross-sections. Some distributed eigen-solvers and hybrid OpenMP and MPI parallel computing are implemented. Numerical results on integrable as well as non-integrable angular cross-sections are provided.
The theory of probability shows that, as the fraction $X_n/Yto 0$, the conditional probability for $X_n$, given $X_n+Y in h_{delta}:=[h, h+delta]$, has a limit law $f_{X_n}(x)e^{-psi_n(h_delta)x}$, where $psi_n(h_delta) $ equals to $[partial ln P(Y i n y_delta)/partial y]_{y=h}$ plus an additional term, contributed from the correlation between $X_n$ and bath $Y$. By applying this limit law to an isolated composite system consisting of two strongly coupled parts, a system of interest and a large but finite bath, we derive the generalized Boltzmann distribution law for the system of interest in the exponential form of a redefined Hamiltonian and corrected Boltzmann temperature that reflects the modification due to strong system-bath coupling and the large but finite bath.

We consider similarity solutions of the generalized convection-diffusion-reaction equation with both space- and time-dependent convection, diffusion and reaction terms. By introducing the similarity variable, the reaction-diffusion equation is reduce d to an ordinary differential equation. Matching the resulting ordinary differential equation with known exactly solvable equations, one can obtain corresponding exactly solvable convection-diffusion-reaction systems. Some representative examples of exactly solvable systems are presented. We also describe how an equivalent convection-diffusion-reaction system can be constructed which admits the same similarity solution of another convection-diffusion-reaction system.
We consider an ensemble of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes featuring a population of relaxation times and a population of noise amplitudes that characterize the heterogeneity of the ensemble. We show that the centre-of-mass like variable corresponding t o this ensemble is statistically equivalent to a process driven by a non-autonomous stochastic differential equation with time- dependent drift and a white noise. In particular, the time scaling and the density function of such variable are driven by the population of timescales and of noise amplitudes, respectively. Moreover, we show that this variable is equivalent in distribution to a randomly-scaled Gaussian process, i.e., a process built by the product of a Gaussian process times a non-negative independent random variable. This last result establishes a connection with the so-called generalized gray Brownian motion and suggests application to model fractional anomalous diffusion in biological systems.
In this paper, we study the diffusive limit of solutions to the generalized Langevin equation (GLE) in a periodic potential. Under the assumption of quasi-Markovianity, we obtain sharp longtime equilibration estimates for the GLE using techniques fro m the theory of hypocoercivity. We then prove asymptotic results for the effective diffusion coefficient in three limiting regimes: the short memory, the overdamped and the underdamped limits. Finally, we employ a recently developed spectral numerical method in order to calculate the effective diffusion coefficient for a wide range of (effective) friction coefficients, confirming our asymptotic results.
