Approximating particle-based clustering dynamics by stochastic PDEs

Nathalie Wehlitz, Mohsen Sadeghi, Alberto Montefusco +3

This work proposes stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) as a practical tool to replicate clustering effects of more detailed particle-based dynamics. Inspired by membr…

Partial mean-field model for neurotransmission dynamics

Alberto Montefusco, Luzie Helfmann, Toluwani Okunola +2

This article addresses reaction networks in which spatial and stochastic effects are of crucial importance. For such systems, particle-based models allow us to describe all microsc…

Fourier-Cattaneo equation: stochastic origin, variational formulation, and asymptotic limits

Alberto Montefusco, Upanshu Sharma, Oliver Tse

We introduce a variational structure for the Fourier-Cattaneo (FC) system which is a second-order hyperbolic system. This variational structure is inspired by the large-deviation r…

A route to the hydrodynamic limit of a reaction-diffusion master equation using gradient structures

Alberto Montefusco, Christof Schütte, Stefanie Winkelmann

The reaction-diffusion master equation (RDME) is a lattice-based stochastic model for spatially resolved cellular processes. It is often interpreted as an approximation to spatiall…

A framework of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. II. Coarse-graining

Alberto Montefusco, Mark A. Peletier, Hans Christian Öttinger

For a given thermodynamic system, and a given choice of coarse-grained state variables, the knowledge of a force-flux constitutive law is the basis for any nonequilibrium modeling.…

A framework of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. I. Role and type of fluctuations

Hans Christian Öttinger, Mark A. Peletier, Alberto Montefusco

Understanding the fluctuations by which phenomenological evolution equations with thermodynamic structure can be enhanced is the key to a general framework of nonequilibrium statis…
