Computation for the canonical measures of a colored disordered lattice gas and spectral gap
In this work we deal with spectral gap and canonical measures related to a model called colored disordered lattice gas. We consider the approach used in the work of Dermoune and Heinrich [“A sma...

The asymptotic discrimination problem of two quantum states is studied in the setting where measurements are required to be invariant under some symmetry group of the system. We consider various asymp...

In this paper, the stability of boundary layer solutions to the Boltzmann equation with diffusive effect at the boundary for hard sphere model is considered. When the Mach number of the far field is less than −1, the exponential decay in time is proven for linearized operator first. At last, based on this property, nonlinear stability of the boundary layers is obtained by bootstrap argument. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
