چکیده

We consider several structured population models (age structured, size structured, maturity structured) and the general scattering equation. These models are not conservation laws, nevertheless we show that they admit a common relative entropy structure which uses the first eigenelements of the problem. In case of scattering, it is more general than the usual ”detailed balance principle”. Three types of consequences are deduced from this entropy structure : a priori bounds, large time convergence to the steady state and in some cases, exponential rates of convergence. Titre: Un principe général d’entropie pour les modèles de population structurés et les équations de scattering Résumé. Nous considérons divers modèles de populations structurées (en âge, en taille ou en maturité) et aussi l’équation de scattering. Ces modèles ne sont pas conservatifs, néammoins nous montrons qu’ils vérifient tous une structure d’entropie relative commune qui utilise les premiers éléments propres du problème et qui, dans le cas du scattering, généralise le ”principe d’équilibre en détail” habituel. Trois types de conséquences découlent de cette structure entropique : des estimations a priori, la convergence en temps grand vers un état stationnaire et parfois des taux exponentiels de convergence.

Bulk Viscous Bianchi Type VI0 Cosmological Model in the Self-creation Theory of Gravitation and in the General Theory of Relativity

In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...

Entropy methods for linear discrete and continuous structured population models

The lectures are devoted to the methods of generalised relative entropy applied to study long-term behaviour of structured population models. Such models describe processes of growth and evolution of a population, which is heterogenous in respect to some physiological properties, such as age, size or stage of cell differentiation, which in turn influence dynamics of the individuals. Analysis of...

Simple Equations for Predicting Entropy of Ammonia-Water Mixture

This work presents a set of three simple and explicit equations as a function of temperature, pressure, and mass fraction for calculation of the entropy of the ammonia-water mixture in saturated and super heated conditions. They are intended for use in the optimization and second law efficiency of absorption processes. The equations are constructed by the least square method for curve fitting u...
