Thermostats are dynamical equations used to model thermodynamic variables such as temperature and pressure in molecular simulations. For computationally intensive problems such as the simulation of biomolecules, we propose to average over fast momentum degrees of freedom and construct thermostat equations in configuration space. The equations of motion are deterministic analogues of the Smoluch...

Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation was introduced by Kuramoto [1976] in one-spatial dimension, for the study of phase turbulance in the BelousovZhabotinsky reaction. Sivashinsky derived it independently in the context of small thermal diffusive instabilities for laminar flame fronts. It and related equations have also been used to model directional solidification and , in multiple spatial dimensions...

1 Introduction It is not uncommon to encounter the assertion that the dynamical evolution of the large-scale bulk velocity v of a collisionless gas is not described by the hydrodynamic (HD) equations. A favorite " reason " is the statement that pressure cannot be defined in the absence of collisions. Then in some quarters it is believed that the large-scale bulk dynamics of a swirling magnetize...

Consider an operator equation F(u)=0 in a Hilbert space H and assume that this equation is solvable. Let us call the problem of solving this equation ill-posed if the operator F ′(u) is not boundedly invertible, and well-posed otherwise. A general method, Dynamical Systems Method (DSM), for solving linear and nonlinear illposed problems in H is presented. This method consists of the constructio...
