Influence of the anchoring energy on the relaxation of the nematic deformation

We analyze the influence of the anchoring energy strength on the relaxation of the nematic deformation, when the distorting field is removed, at t = 0. The analysis is performed by assuming that the nematic sample is in the shape of a slab, the …

Fokker-Planck equation in a wedge domain: Anomalous diffusion and survival probability

We obtain exact solutions and the survival probability for a Fokker-Planck equation subjected to the two-dimensional wedge domain. We consider a spatial dependence in the diffusion coefficient and the presence of external forces. The results show an …

Green function for a non-Markovian Fokker-Planck equation: Comb-model and anomalous diffusion

We investigate solutions, by using the Green function approach, for a system governed by a non-Markovian Fokker-Planck equation and subjected to a Comb structure. This structure consists of the axis of structure as the backbone and fingers which are …

Symbolic Sequences and Tsallis Entropy

We address this work to investigate symbolic sequences with long-range correlations by using computational simulation. We analyze sequences with two, three and four symbols that could be repeated l times, with the probability distribution p(l) ∝ …

Fractional Diffusion Equation and Impedance Spectroscopy of Electrolytic Cells

The influence of the ions on the electrochemical impedance of a cell is calculated in the framework of a complete model in which the fractional drift-diffusion problem is analytically solved. The resulting distribution of the electric field inside the …

Nonlocal effects on the thermal behavior of non-crystalline solids

We argue that nonlocal effects represented by fractionary terms in the kinetic energy can be relevant to achieve a satisfactory phenomenological description of the thermal behavior of the specific heat of non-crystalline solids at very low …

Solutions for diffusion equation with a nonlocal term

This work is devoted to investigating solutions for the diffusion equation with a nonlocal spatial and time-dependent term by using the Green function approach. This nonlocal term incorporated in the diffusion equation may be related to several …

Director profile of a nematic between two concentric cylinders with inhomogeneous boundary conditions

The tilt angle profile in a nematic cell limited by two concentric cylindrical surfaces with inhomogeneous distribution of easy axes is investigated in the one-constant approximation. The results are presented in terms of the Green function approach …

q-distributions in complex systems: a brief review

The nonextensive statistical mechanics proposed by Tsallis is today an intense and growing research field. Probability distributions which emerges from the nonextensive formalism (q-distributions) have been applied to an impressive variety of …

Solutions for a fractional nonlinear diffusion equation with external force and absorbent term

We devote this work to investigate the solutions of a N-dimensional nonlinear fractional diffusion equation which emerges from the continuity equation by considering a nonlinear fractional generalization of Darcy law and incorporating an absorbent …
