Exchangeability and continuum limits of discrete random structures
Exchangeable representations of complex random structures are useful in several ways, in particular providing a moderately general way to derive continuum limits of discrete random structures. I shall describe an old example (continuum random trees) and a more recent example (dense graph limits). Thinking this way about road routes suggests challenging new problems in the plane. Mathematics Sub...
متن کاملReversible Adhesion: from Discrete to Continuum
We study a simple mechanical model whose aim is to reproduce basic physical mechanisms behind reversible surface attachment-detachment under quasi-static loading. At the micro level the adhesive layer is modeled as an elastic chain of particles interacting with a rigid foundation through breakable springs. This model can be viewed as prototypical for the description of a wide range of phenomena...
متن کاملFrom “discrete” to “continuum” flow in foams
– From both NMR and conventional rheometrical data we show that a foam cannot flow steadily below a critical, apparent shear rate and a critical shear stress. At low velocities the shear localizes in a layer of thickness decreasing with the apparent shear rate. When this thickness becomes smaller than a critical value hc (about 25 bubble diameters) the continuum assumption is no longer valid an...
متن کاملContinuum limits of discrete thin films with superlinear growth densities
the analog theories for ‘continuous’ thin films showing that general compactness and homogenization results can be proven by adapting the techniques commonly used for problems on Sobolev spaces; on the other hand we show that new phenomena arise due to the different nature of the microscopic interactions, and in particular that for long-range interactions a surface energy on the free surfaces o...
متن کاملDiscrete-to-continuum limits for strain-alignment-coupled systems: Magnetostrictive solids, ferroelectric crystals and nematic elastomers
In the framework of linear elasticity, we study the limit of a class of discrete free energies modeling strain-alignment-coupled systems by a rigorous coarse-graining procedure, as the number of molecules diverges. We focus on three paradigmatic examples: magnetostrictive solids, ferroelectric crystals and nematic elastomers, obtaining in the limit three continuum models consistent with those c...
