EULER EQUATIONS AND TRACE PROPERTIES OF MINIMIZERS OF A FUNCTIONAL FOR MOTION COMPENSATED INPAINTING

We compute the Euler equations of a functional useful for simultaneous video inpainting and motion estimation, which was obtained in [17] as the relaxation of a modified version of the functional proposed in [16]. The functional is defined on vectorial functions of bounded variations, therefore we also get the Euler equations holding on the singular sets of minimizers, highlighting in particular the conditions on the jump sets.

Towards EXtreme scale technologies and accelerators for euROhpc hw/Sw supercomputing applications for exascale: The TEXTAROSSA approach

In the near future, Exascale systems will need to bridge three technology gaps to achieve high performance while remaining under tight power constraints: energy efficiency and thermal control; extreme computation efficiency via HW acceleration and new arithmetic; methods and tools for seamless integration of reconfigurable accelerators in heterogeneous HPC multi-node platforms. TEXTAROSSA addresses these gaps through a co-design approach to heterogeneous HPC solutions, supported by the integration and extension of HW and SW IPs, programming models, and tools derived from European research.

Hydrolyzed Rice Formula: An Appropriate Choice for the Treatment of Cow's Milk Allergy

Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is a common condition in the pediatric population. CMA can induce a diverse range of symptoms of variable intensity. It occurs mainly in the first year of life, and if the child is not breastfed, hypoallergenic formula is the dietary treatment. Extensively hydrolyzed cow's milk formulas (eHF) with documented hypo-allergenicity can be recommended as the first choice, while amino acid-based formulas (AAF) are recommended for patients with more severe symptoms.

Topological Singularities in Periodic Media: Ginzburg-Landau and Core-Radius Approaches

We describe the emergence of topological singularities in periodic media within the Ginzburg-Landau model and the core-radius approach. The energy functionals of both models are denoted by E, where ? represent the coherence length (in the Ginzburg-Landau model) or the core-radius size (in the core-radius approach) and ? denotes the periodicity scale. We carry out the ? -convergence analysis of E as ?-> 0 and ?= ?-> 0 in the | log ?| scaling regime, showing that the ? -limit consists in the energy cost of finitely many vortex-like point singularities of integer degree.

Asymptotic analysis of Poisson shot noise processes, and applications

Poisson shot noise processes are natural generalizations of compound Poisson processes that have been widely applied in insurance, neuroscience, seismology, computer science and epidemiology. In this paper we study sharp deviations, fluctuations and the stable probability approximation of Poisson shot noise processes. Our achievements extend, improve and complement existing results in the literature. We apply the theoretical results to Poisson cluster point processes, including generalized linear Hawkes processes, and risk processes with delayed claims. Many examples are discussed in detail.

Numerical simulation of a multi-group age-of-infection model

Age of infection epidemic models [1, 3], based on non-linear integro-dierential equations, naturally describe the evolution of diseases whose infectivity depends on the time since becoming infected. Here we consider a multi-group age of infection model [2] and we extend the investigations in [4], [5] and [6] to provide numerical solutions that retain the main properties of the continuous system. In particular, we use Direct Quadrature methods and prove that the numerical solution is positive and bounded.

Lagrange-Chebyshev Interpolation for image resizing

Image resizing is a basic tool in image processing, and in literature, we have many methods based on different approaches, which are often specialized in only upscaling or downscaling. In this paper, independently of the (reduced or enlarged) size we aim to get, we approach the problem at a continuous scale where the underlying function representing the image is globally approximated by its Lagrange-Chebyshev I kind interpolation polynomial corresponding to suitable (tensor product) grids of first kind Chebyshev zeros.

The 0-fractional perimeter between fractional perimeters and Riesz potentials

This paper provides a unified point of view on fractional perimeters and Riesz potentials. Denoting byH? - for ? 2 .0; 1/ - the ?-fractional perimeter and by J ? - for ? 2 .(d; 0)- the ?-Riesz energies acting on characteristic functions, we prove that both functionals can be seen as limits of renormalized self-attractive energies as well as limits of repulsive interactions between a set and its complement. We also show that the functionals H? and J ? , up to a suitable additive renormalization diverging when ? ? 0, belong to a continuous one-parameter family of functionals, which for ?

Heuristic approaches for the Minimum Labelling Hamiltonian Cycle Problem

Given a graph G with a label (color) assigned to each edge (not necessarily properly) we look for an hamiltonian cycle of G with the minimum number of different colors. The problem has several applications in telecommunication networks, electric networks, multimodal transportation networks, among others, where one aims to ensure connectivity or other properties by means of limited number of different connections. We analyze the complexity of the problem on special graph classes and propose, for the general case, heuristic resolution algorithms.
