Abstract

We employ pseudospectral methods to solve the homogeneous Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation for a model fluid in the vicinity of the critical point. Focusing on the Mean-Spherical Approximation (MSA) as a closure to the OZ equation, we obtain numerical estimates for the critical exponents $\eta$, $\delta$ and $\gamma$ for a system of hard-core Yukawa particles both in two and three dimensions. The three-dimensional MSA exponents are already well-known from an analytic solution and are recovered by our numerical methods. The two-dimensional exponents are a new output of this work. The pseudospectral method allows for rapid and highly accurate solution of liquid-state integral equation theories, and enables calculations on truely infinite domains, as needed for highly correlated states. In addition, we analyse the standard Picard iteration scheme and propose a variation of it which provides increased stability and speed of convergence.

Nonisospectral Integrability and Exact Current Fluctuations in the Two-Dimensional SSEP

We study annealed current fluctuations in the two-dimensional symmetric simple exclusion process (SSEP) across a circular passive counting boundary. The initial average density is $\rho_1$ inside a disk of radius $R$ and $\rho_2$ outside, and the observable is the net decrease of the particle number in the disk over a...

Uniform-in-Time Approximation of Calogero-Moser Particles by Continuum Multisolitons

We prove that every solution of the classical rational Calogero-Moser system can be approximated, after subtracting a common linear drift from the particle positions, by rational multisoliton solutions of the focusing continuum Calogero-Moser equation, uniformly for all time. The construction identifies the multisolito...

Uniqueness for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation in critical Sobolev spaces

We study the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff for very soft potentials satisfying the inverse power law relation $\gamma+4s=1$. Our main results establish the existence, uniqueness, stability and regularization estimates of solutions in the critical Sobolev space $ H^{-(\gamma + 2s + \fra...

A family of second order, linear, unconditionally stable methods for the Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes equations

We present a family of second-order, linear, unconditionally stable implicit-explicit (IMEX) methods for the Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes (CHNS) equations modeling matched-density two-phase flows. The proposed semi-discrete scheme combines extrapolation of the nonlinear terms with an auxiliary-variable formulation of th...

Space-time fractional stochastic Burgers-type equation

We establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a $(1+1)$-dimensional fractional stochastic Burgers-type equation featuring a Caputo fractional time derivative, a fractional Laplacian, and space-time white noise forcing modified by a Riemann-Liouville fractional integral. From a physical perspective, equation...

A High-Accuracy Numerical Homogenization Method for Quasiperiodic Hamilton--Jacobi Equations

In this work, we develop an accurate numerical homogenization method for computing effective Hamiltonians of quasiperiodic Hamilton--Jacobi equations (QHJEs) with convex Hamiltonians of the form $H(x,p) = |p|^k/{k}-f(x), ~k>1$, where $f$ is quasiperiodic. Computing effective Hamiltonians in the quasiperiodic setting re...
