The method solves the highly oscillatory model in the original coordinate, yet can capture numerically the oscillatory space-time quantum solution pointwisely even without numerically resolving the frequency. We prove that the underlying micro-macro equations have smooth (up to certain order of derivatives) solutions with respect to the frequency, and then prove the uniform accuracy of the numerical discretization for a scalar model equation exhibiting the same oscillatory behavior. Numerical experiments verify the theory.","PeriodicalId":313703,"journal":{"name":"Multiscale Model.

In this paper, we analyze a model for such binding rates that includes the fact that pairs of molecules can bind only in certain orientations. The model considers two spherical molecules, each with an arbitrary number of small binding sites on their surface, and the two molecules bind if and only if their binding sites come into contact (such molecules are often called \"patchy particles\" in the biochemistry literature). The molecules undergo translational and rotational diffusion, and the binding sites are allowed to diffuse on their surfaces. Mathematically, the model takes the form of a high-dimensional, anisotropic diffusion equation with mixed boundary conditions. We apply matched asymptotic analysis to derive the bimolecular binding rate in the limit of small, well-separated binding sites. The resulting binding rate formula involves a factor that depends on the electrostatic capacitance of a certain four-dimensional region embedded in five dimensions. We compute this factor numerically by modifying a recent kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm. We then apply a quasi chemical formalism to obtain a simple analytical approximation for this factor and find a binding rate formula that includes the effects of binding site competition/saturation. We verify our results by numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":313703,"journal":{"name":"Multiscale Model.

The source is assumed to be a centered complex-valued Gaussian vector field with correlated components, and its covariance operator is a pseudo-differential operator. The well-posedness of the direct source scattering problem is established and the regularity of the electromagnetic field is given. For the inverse source scattering problem, the micro-correlation strength matrix of the covariance operator is shown to be uniquely determined by the high frequency limit of the expectation of the electric field measured in an open bounded domain disjoint with the support of the source. In particular, we show that the diagonal entries of the strength matrix can be uniquely determined by only using the amplitude of the electric field. Moreover, this result is extended to the almost surely sense by deducing an ergodic relation for the electric field over the frequencies.","PeriodicalId":313703,"journal":{"name":"Multiscale Model.

Based on the retarded boundary integral equation method, we derive the asymptotic expansion of the scattered field as the size of the holes goes to zero. Under certain geometrical constraints on the size and the minimum distance of the holes, we show that the scattered field is approximated by a linear combination of point-sources where the weights are given by the capacitance of each hole and the causal signals (of these point-sources) can be computed by solving a, retarded in time, linear algebraic system. A rigorous justification of the asymptotic expansion and the unique solvability of the linear algebraic system are shown under natural conditions on the cluster of holes. As an application of the asymptotic expansion, we derive, in the limit case when the holes are densely distributed and occupy a bounded domain, the equivalent effective acoustic medium (an equivalent mass density characterized by the capacitance of the holes) that generates, approximately, the same scattered field as the cluster of holes. Conversely, given a locally variable, smooth and positive mass density, satisfying a certain subharmonicity condition, we can design a perforated material with holes, having appropriate capacitances, that generates approximately the same acoustic field as the acoustic medium modelled by the given mass density (and constant speed of propagation). Finally, we numerically verify the asymptotic expansions by comparing the asymptotic approximations with the numerical solutions of the scattered fields via the finite element method.","PeriodicalId":313703,"journal":{"name":"Multiscale Model.
