The detailed level of description is governed by a Brownian dynamics of non-interacting particles. The coarse-level is described by discrete concentration variables defined in terms of the Delaunay cell. These coarse variables obey a stochastic differential equation that can be understood as a discrete version of a diffusion equation. The diffusion equation contains two basic building blocks which are the entropy function and the friction matrix. The entropy function is shown to be non-additive due to the overlapping of cells in the Delaunay construction. The friction matrix is state dependent in principle, but for near-equilibrium situations it is shown that it may safely evaluated at the equilibrium value of the density fieldenAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 4.0 Internacionalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCoarse-graining Brownian motion : from particles to a discrete diffusion equationtesis de maestría
