From Reactive Boltzmann Equations to Reaction–Diffusion Systems

We consider the reactive Boltzmann equations for a mixture of different species of molecules, including a fixed background. We propose a scaling in which the collisions involving this background are predominant, while the inelastic (reactive) binary collisions are very rare. We show that, at the formal level, the solutions of the Boltzmann equations converge toward the solutions of a reaction-diffusion system. The coefficients of this system can be expressed in terms of the cross sections of the Boltzmann kernels. We discuss various possible physical settings (gases having internal energy, presence of a boundary, etc.), and present one rigorous mathematical proof in a simplified situation (for which the existence of strong solutions to the Boltzmann equation is known).     

Nonlocal Symmetries to Systems of Nonlinear Diffusion Equations

In this paper, we study potential symmetries to certain systems of nonlinear diffusion equations. Thosesystems have physical applications in soil science, mathematical biology, and invariant curve flows in R^3. Lie point symmetries of the potential system, which cannot be projected to vector fields of the given dependent and independent variables, yield potential symmetries. The class of the system that admits potential symmetries is expanded.

Boltzmann Equations For Mixtures of Maxwell Gases: Exact Solutions and Power Like Tails

We consider the Boltzmann equations for mixtures of Maxwell gases. It is shown that in certain limiting case the equations admit self-similar solutions that can be constructed in explicit form. More precisely, the solutions have simple explicit integral representations. The most interesting solutions have finite energy and power like tails. This shows that power like tails can appear not just for granular particles (Maxwell models are far from reality in this case), but also in the system of particles interacting in accordance with laws of classical mechanics. In addition, non-existence of positive self-similar solutions with finite moments of any order is proven for a wide class of Maxwell models.

The Inverse Problem of Argon Diffusion from Minerals: Determination of Kinetic Parameters from Stepwise-Heating Experiments

Abstract

Results of two routine ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar stepwise heating experiments on a biotite and a basanite are interpreted in terms of Fick's and Arrhenius' laws. Both patterns represent a saddle-shaped ³⁹Ar release. Argon isotope spectra are suggested to be controlled by the activation energy of diffusion E and the frequency factor D_o . The activation energy of ³⁹Ar is lower than the one of ⁴⁰Ar. This results in a preferable release of ⁴⁰Ar relatively to ³⁹Ar at high-temperature steps and an increasing high-temperature wing in the saddle-shaped age spectrum. At low temperatures, considerable losses and irregularities in release of mainly ³⁹Ar are observed, which cause the decreasing low-temperature wing in the “saddle”. The suggestion of argon losses (mainly of ³⁹Ar) from a loose, “unstable” zone of the mineral structures becomes justified. The n-irradiation of the samples and the shift of E of ³⁹Ar towards lower values seems to explain the saddle-shaped age-spectra often encountered in ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar-geochronometry.

A New Approach to Solve Nonlinear Wave Equations

From the nonlinear sine-Gordon equation, new transformations are obtained in this paper, which are applied to propose a new approach to construct exact periodic solutions to nonlinear wave equations. It is shown that more new periodic solutions can be obtained by this new approach, and more shock wave solutions or solitary wave solutions can be got under their limit conditions.

After considering the variable coefficient of a nonlinear equation as a new dependent variable,some special types of variable-coefficient equation can be solved from the corresponding constant-coefficient equations by using the general classical Lie approach.Taking the nonlinear Schrodinger equation as a concrete example,the method is recommended in detail.     

Exact Solutions of a Generalized Multi-Fractional Nonlinear Diffusion Equation in Radical Symmetry

This paper is devoted to investigating exact solutions of a generalized fractional nonlinear anomalous diffusion equation in radical symmetry. The presence of external force and absorption is also considered. We first investigate the nonlinear anomalous diffusion equations with one-fractional derivative and then multi-fractional ones. In both situations, we obtain the corresponding exact solutions, and the solutions found here can have a compact behavior or a long tailed behavior.

The transition probability for a carrier hopping between randomly placed sites is determined for a system in thermodynamic equilibrium. The effect of the first waiting time is included and the result is shown to be consistent with the theory of statistical thermodynamics. Furthermore, a comparison is made with the master equation approach, which is shown to be exact when the waiting times are exponentially distributed. The application to ac conductivity is discussed.
