O ponto de partida é o estudo do potencial de Morse, seguido pela geração de potenciais isoespectrais ao potencial de Morse, usando o formalismo de Supersimetria em Mecânica Quântica. Os potenciais quânticos isoespectrais possuem os mesmos autovalores de energia do potencial original, mas as funções de onda são distintas. Dessa forma, a probabilidade de transição resultante da equação de Fokker-Planck, que pode ser escrita como uma expansão destas funções de onda conduz a resultados diferentes daqueles obtidos para o potencial original gerando toda uma classe de resultados novos. / This work explores the relation between the Fokker-Planck equation and the Schrödinger equation in order to study solutions for the first one. The starting point is the study of the Schrödinger equation for Morse potential. The next step is to determine the isospectral potential by using the formalism of Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics. Quantum isospectral potentials have the same energy spectrum of the original Morse potential, but the wave functions are different. Therefore, the transition probability that results from the Fokker-Planck equation, leads to different results from those obtained for the original potential.

Neste trabalho introduzimos a representação de estados coerentes de fônons e desenvolvemos o formalismo para o tratamento do campo sujeito a excitações lineares. Obtemos a equação de Fokker-Planck para a função distribuição associada ao operador densidade assim como as amplitudes dos estados devidas à excitação. Como aplicação, usamos a interação fóton-núcleo para o estudo de algumas propriedades fundamentais do efeito Mössbauer. Obtivemos, de uma maneira muito simples, a energia e o momento linear transferidos ao cristal devido à absorção ou emissão de um raio gama e a relação entre o operador criação do estado coerente /β> e a função de espalhamento Fs(k, t). Mostramos claramente que o efeito Mössbauer é devido a transições de zero-fonons O efeito da temperatura sobre probabilidades de trasições e sobre medições também aparece de um modo claro / We introduce the representation of coherent states of phonons and develop the procedures to treat the field with linear excitation. We obtain the Fokker-Planck equation of the distribution function associated with the density operator as well as the amplitudes of the states due to the excitation. As an application, we use the interaction photon-nucleus in the study of some fundamental properties of Mössbauer effect. We obtain, in a very simple way, the energy and linear momentum transferred to the crystal due to absorption or emission of a gamma ray and the connection between the creation operator of the /β> coherent state and the scattering function Fs(k, t). We show clearly that Mössbauer effect is due to zero-phonon transitions. The effect of temperature on transition probabilities and measurements arises in a clear way

A obtenção de uma solução analítica para este caso, resolvendo a equação de Kramers para a distribuição de probabilidades de uma partícula no espaço de fase, foi sugerida em 1943 por Chandrasekhar, mas até os anos noventa do século passado, o problema foi raramente considerado na literatura. Obtivemos a solução fundamental exata deste problema, e analisamos algumas aplicações. Consideramos uma classe particular de soluções, aquelas com perfil inicial Gaussiano (no espaço de fase), sendo a solução uma convolução de Gaussianas (a solução fundamental ou propagador, e o perfil inicial). Calculamos algumas grandezas hidrodinâmicas e termodinâmicas a partir da expressão exata para a distribuição de probabilidades de uma partícula Browniana, a saber, a densidade de partículas, as densidades de fluxo de partículas, de energia, de fluxo de energia, de entropia e também a temperatura efetiva do gás Browniano, que pode ser obtida a partir das densidades de partícula e energia cinética. Publicamos em 2005 a solução fundamental exata e algumas aplicações no regime assintótico. / Abstract: After presenting a sketch of the several theoretical approaches to the Brownian motion model, we consider a charged Brownian particle under electric and magnetic fields. A path to solve analitically Kramers equation, for the particle distribution probability in phase space, was suggested in 1943 by Chandrasekhar, nevertheless until the nineties of last century, this problem was rarely considered. We present the exact fundamental solution and analyze some applications. We consider a particular class of solutions, namely, with a gaussian initial profile (in phase space), thus the resulting solution is a convolution of gaussians (both the fundamental solution or propagator, and the initial profile). Then we compute some hydrodinamical and thermodynamical densities from the exact expression for the probability distribution of a Brownian particle, for example, particle density, matter ux density, energy density, energy ux density, entropy density, among others, and some derived quantities suchs as the effective temperature of the Brownian gas. In 2005 we published part of these results, namely the fundamental solution and some application on the asymptotic regime / Doutorado / Física Estatistica e Termodinamica / Doutora em Ciências

In this dissertation, we present two research projects, namely finite-state mean-field games and the Hughes model for the motion of crowds. In the first part, we describe finite-state mean-field games and some applications to socio-economic sciences. Examples include paradigm shifts in the scientific community and the consumer choice behavior in a free market. The corresponding finite-state mean-field game models are hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations, for which we propose and validate a new numerical method. Next, we consider the dual formulation to two-state mean-field games, and we discuss numerical methods for these problems. We then depict different computational experiments, exhibiting a variety of behaviors, including shock formation, lack of invertibility, and monotonicity loss. We conclude the first part of this dissertation with an investigation of the shock structure for two-state problems. In the second part, we consider a model for the movement of crowds proposed by R. Hughes in [56] and describe a numerical approach to solve it. This model comprises a Fokker-Planck equation coupled with an Eikonal equation with Dirichlet or Neumann data. We first establish a priori estimates for the solutions. Next, we consider radial solutions, and we identify a shock formation mechanism. Subsequently, we illustrate the existence of congestion, the breakdown of the model, and the trend to the equilibrium. We also propose a new numerical method for the solution of Fokker-Planck equations and then to systems of PDEs composed by a Fokker-Planck equation and a potential type equation. Finally, we illustrate the use of the numerical method both to the Hughes model and mean-field games. We also depict cases such as the evacuation of a room and the movement of persons around Kaaba (Saudi Arabia).

We extend sociodynamic modeling of the financial business cycle to the Euro Area and Japan. Using an opinion-formation model and machine learning techniques we find stable model estimation of the financial business cycle using central bank lending surveys and a few selected macroeconomic variables. We find that banks have asymmetric response to good and bad economic information, and that banks adapt to their peers' opinions when changing lending policies.

Sedimenting suspensions exist in a varity of natural phenomena and industrial applications. It is already observed in experiments that the dilute fibre suspensions experience a hydrodynamics instability under gravity at low Reynolds numbers. Initially well-mixed suspensions become inhomogeneous and anisotropic due to this instability.The main goal of this work is to understand the instability in a dilute fibre suspension by means of an Eulerian approach which is based on the Navier-Stokes equations coupled to Fokker-Planck equation for the PDF of fibres.Using a linear stability analysis, we show that inertia and hydrodynamic translational diffusion damp perturbations at long wavelengths and short wavelengths, respectively, leading to a wavenumber selection. For small, but finite Reynolds number of the fluid bulk motion, the most unstable wavenumber is a finite value which increases with Reynolds number, and where the diffusion narrows the range of unstable wavenumbers. With periodic boundary conditions, numerical simulations of the full non-linear evolution in time of a normal mode perturbation show that the induced flow may either die or saturate on a finite amplitude. The character of this long time behaviour is dictated by the wavenumber and the presence or absence of the translational and rotational diffusivities.In a simulation domain confined by vertical walls, a series of alternating structures of risers and streamers emerge continuously from the walls until they meet in the middle of the domain. For moderate times, this agrees qualitatively with experimental and theoretical results. Moreover, our simulation in a vessel of infinite height obtained an increasing wavelength evolution due to the congregation of the streamers or risers. In the end, there is constantly only one streamer left, and it drifts randomly to one side of the container until the evolution reaches a steady state. It is also found that the perturbations added to the initial conditions can induce more high density regions whose sizes and velocities are strongly linked to the initial perturbations of the number density or the flow field. In addition, the maximum number of streamers increases with Reynolds number, volume fraction and channel width. / QC 20120625

L'objectif de notre thèse de <p>doctorat est d’étudier et de décrire les propriétés chimiques et mé- <p>caniques du moteur moléculaire F1 -ATPase. Le moteur F1 -ATPase <p>est un moteur rotatif, d’aspect sphérique et d’environ 10 nanomètre <p>de rayon, qui utilise l’énergie de l’hydrolyse de l’ATP comme car- <p>burant moléculaire. <p>Des questions fondamentales se posent sur le fonctionnement de <p>ce moteurs et sur la quantité de travail qu’il peut fournir. Il s’agit <p>de questions qui concernent principalement la thermodynamique <p>des processus irréversibles. De plus, comme ce moteur est de <p>taille nanométrique, il est fortement influencé par les fluctuations <p>moléculaires, ce qui nécessite une approche stochastique. <p>C’est en créant deux modéles stochastiques complémentaires de <p>ce moteur que nous avons contribué à répondre à ces questions <p>fondamentales. <p>Le premier modèle discuté au chapitre 5 de la thèse, est un mod- <p>èle continu dans le temps et l’espace, décrit par des équations de <p>Fokker-Planck, est construit sur des résultats expérimentaux. <p>Ce modèle tient compte d’une description explicite des fluctua- <p>tions affectant le degré de liberté mécanique et décrit les tran- <p>sitions entre les différents états chimiques discrets du moteur, <p>par un processus de sauts aléatoires entre premiers voisins. Nous <p>avons obtenus des résultats précis concernant la chimie d’hydrolyse <p>et de synthèse de l’ATP, et pour les dépendences du moteur en les <p>différentes variables mécaniques, à savoir, la friction et le couple <p>de force extérieur, ainsi que la dépendence en la température. <p>Les résultats que nous avons obtenus avec ce modèle sont en ex- <p>cellent accord avec les observations expérimentales. <p>Le second modèle est discret dans l’espace et continu dans le <p>temps et est décrit dans le chapitre 6. L’analyse des résultats <p>obtenus par simulations numériques montre que le modèle est <p>en accord avec les observations expérimentales et il permet en <p>outre de dériver des grandeurs thermodynamiques analytique- <p>ment, décrites au chapitre 4, ce que le modèle continu ne permet <p>pas. <p>La comparaison des deux modèles révele la nature du fonction- <p>nement du moteur, ainsi que son régime de fonctionnement loin <p>de l’équilibre. Le second modèle a éte soumis récemment pour <p>publication. / Doctorat en Sciences / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
