چکیده
A stable relaxation approximation for a transport equation with the diiusive scaling is developed. The relaxation approximation leads in the small mean free path limit to the higher order diiusion equation obtained from the asymptotic analysis of the transport equation.

Nonlinear diffusions as limit of kinetic equations with relaxation collision kernels
Kinetic transport equations with a given confining potential and non-linear relaxation type collision operators are considered. General (monotone) energy dependent equilibrium distributions are allowed with a chemical potential ensuring mass conservation. Existence and uniqueness of solutions is proven for initial data bounded by equilibrium distributions. The diffusive macroscopic limit is car...
متن کاملDiscretization of the Multiscale SemiconductorBoltzmann Equation by DiffusiveRelaxation Schemes
In this paper we derive diffusive relaxation schemes for the linear semiconductor Boltzmann equation that work in both the kinetic and diffusive regimes. Similar to our earlier approach for multiscale transport equations, we use the evenand oddparity formulation of the kinetic equation, and then reformulate it into the diffusive relaxation system (DRS). In order to handle the implicit anisotrop...
متن کاملAn Asymptotic-induced Scheme for Nonstationary Transport Equations in the Diffusive Limit
An asymptotic-induced scheme for nonstationary transport equations with the diffusion scaling is developed. The scheme works uniformly for all ranges of mean-free paths. It is based on the asymptotic analysis of the diffusion limit of the transport equation. A theoretical investigation of the behavior of the scheme in the diffusion limit is given and an approximation property is proven. Moreove...
متن کاملTunneling zero-bias anomaly in the quasiballistic regime
We study the tunneling density of states ~DOS! of the interacting electron gas beyond the diffusive limit. A strong correction to the DOS persists even at electron energies exceeding the inverse transport relaxation time, which could not be expected from the well-known Altshuler-Aronov-Lee ~AAL! theory. This correction originates from the interference between the electron waves scattered by an ...
متن کاملUniformly Accurate Diffusive Relaxation Schemes for Multiscale Transport Equations
Many transport equations, such as the neutron transport, radiative transfer, and transport equations for waves in random media, have a diiusive scaling that leads to the diiusion equations. In many physical applications, the scaling parameter (mean free path) may diier in several orders of magnitude from the rareeed regimes to the hydrodynamic (diiusive) regimes within one problem, and it is de...
