On a random entanglement problem
Gage Bonner, Jean-Luc Thiffeault, Benedek Valko
We study a model for the entanglement of a two-dimensional reflecting Brownian motion in a bounded region divided into two halves by a wall with three or more small windows. We map…
Shape matters: A Brownian microswimmer in a channel
Hongfei Chen, Jean-Luc Thiffeault
We consider the active Brownian particle (ABP) model for a two-dimensional microswimmer with fixed speed, whose direction of swimming changes according to a Brownian process. The p…
On mix-norms and the rate of decay of correlations
Bryan W. Oakley, Jean-Luc Thiffeault, Charles R. Doering
Two quantitative notions of mixing are the decay of correlations and the decay of a mix-norm -- a negative Sobolev norm -- and the intensity of mixing can be measured by the rates…
