Rigorous analysis of phase transitions and universality in a non-linear model of interacting oscillators

Consider a system of interacting non-linear oscillators governed by the McKean-Vlasov equation: $$\frac{\partial p(x,t)}{\partial t} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left[\frac{\partial V(x)}{\partial x}...

What is known about discrete versions of the spatially homogenous Boltzmann equation with finitely many (but arbitrarily many) velocities?

Consider a discrete version of spatially homogenous Boltzmann equation with finitely many (but arbitrarily many) velocities $v_i \in \mathbb R^n$ with $i \in I$. Equivalently, consider a system of ...

Rigorous stability analysis of infinite dimensional ODEs : How to bound the tails?

My question is about linear stability analysis of dynamical systems obtained by discretizing linear(ized) partial differential equations. Consider, $\dot{x}=Ax$, where $x$ is the infinite dimensional ...

Long wavelength instability: Linear Vs nonlinear phenomenon

I am looking into stability for certain nonlinear PDE on $\mathbb{R}$ around a specific steady solution, $f_0(x)$. The nonlinear Cauchy PDE is given by: $\dfrac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t}=\mathbf{N}...

Stability of Fokker plank solutions with drift not coming from potential: Lyapunov analysis

Consider the FP equation on two dimensional space: $\dfrac{\partial{\rho(x,y,t)}}{{\partial t}}+u(x,y)\dfrac{\partial\rho}{\partial x}+v(x,y)\dfrac{\partial\rho}{\partial y}=D\Delta\rho(x,y,t)$. It ...

Parametrisations for null temperature functions: nonuniqueness of solutions to the heat equation

Disclaimer. I expect this is a highly open problem, but maybe I'm wrong and someone has come up with some answers besides those given here. In any case, all information appreciated, thanks! Definition....
