The Driven Liouville von Neumann approach [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2014, 10, 2927-2941] is a computationally efficient simulation method for modeling electron dynamics in molecular electronics junctions. Previous numerical simulations have shown that the method can reproduce the exact single-particle dynamics while avoiding density matrix positivity violation found in previous implementations. In this study we prove that in the limit of infinite lead models the underlying equation of motion can be cast in Lindblad form. This provides a formal justification for the numerically observed density matrix positivity conservation.

Parameter estimation is important in data-driven fractional chaotic systems. Less work has been reported due to challenges in discretization of fractional calculus operators. In this paper, several numerical schemes are newly derived for delay fractional difference equations of Caputo and Riemann-Liouville types.

Static and time-dependent quantum-mechanical approaches have been employed in the literature to characterize the physics of light-emitting molecules and nanostructures. However, the electromagnetic emission induced by an input current has remained beyond the realm of molecular simulations. This is the challenge addressed here with the help of an equation of motion for the density matrix coupled to a photon bath based on a Redfield formulation.

Most nutrient uptake problems are modeled by the convection-diffusion equation (CDE) abiding by Fick's law. Because nutrients needed by plants exist in the soil solution as a form of ions and the soil is a typical fractal structure of heterogeneity, it makes the solute transport appear anomalous diffusion in soil. Taking anomalous diffusion as a transport process, we propose time and space fractional nutrient uptake models based on the classic Nye-Tinker-Barber model.

This paper deals with an initial-boundary value problem modeling the unidirectional pressure-driven flow of a second grade fluid in a plane channel with impermeable solid walls. On the channel walls, Navier-type slip boundary conditions are stated. Our aim is to investigate the well-posedness of this problem and obtain its analytical solution under weak regularity requirements on a function describing the velocity distribution at initial time.

A first-principles approach to describe electron dynamics in open quantum systems driven far from equilibrium via external time-dependent stimuli is introduced. Within this approach, the driven Liouville-von Neumann methodology is used to impose open boundary conditions on finite model systems whose dynamics is described using time-dependent density functional theory. As a proof of concept, the developed methodology is applied to simple spin-compensated model systems, including a hydrogen chain and a graphitic molecular junction.
