The grazing collisions limit from the linearized Boltzmann equation to the Landau equation for short-range potentials

A conservative spectral method for the Boltzmann equation with anisotropic scattering and the grazing collisions limit

We present the formulation of a conservative spectral scheme for Boltzmann collision operators with anisotropic scattering mechanisms to model grazing collision limit regimes approximating the solution to the Landau equation in space homogeneous setting. The scheme is based on the conservative spectral method of Gamba and Tharkabhushanam [17, 18]. This formulation is derived from the weak form ...

the algorithm for solving the inverse numerical range problem

برد عددی ماتریس مربعی a را با w(a) نشان داده و به این صورت تعریف می کنیم w(a)={x8ax:x ?s1} ، که در آن s1 گوی واحد است. در سال 2009، راسل کاردن مساله برد عددی معکوس را به این صورت مطرح کرده است : برای نقطه z?w(a)، بردار x?s1 را به گونه ای می یابیم که z=x*ax، در این پایان نامه ، الگوریتمی برای حل مساله برد عددی معکوس ارانه می دهیم.

Existence of the Scattering Matrix for the Linearized Boltzmann Equation

Following Hejtmanek, we consider neutrons in infinite space obeying a linearized Boltzmann equation describing their interaction with matter in some compact set D. We prove existence of the S-matrix and subcriticality of the dynamics in the (weak-coupling) case where the mean free path is larger than the diameter of D uniform in the velocity. We prove existence of the S-matrix also for the case...

Monte Carlo Methods for the Linearized Poisson-Boltzmann Equation

We review efficient grid-free random walk methods for solving boundary value problems for the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation (LPBE). First we introduce the “Walk On Spheres” (WOS) algorithm [1] for the LPBE. Based on this WOS algorithm, another, related, Monte Carlo algorithm is presented. This modified Monte Carlo method reinterprets the weights used in the original WOS algorithm as sur...
