Orthogonal rational functions and structured matrices

The linear space of all proper rational functions with prescribed poles is considered. Given a set of points in the complex plane and the weights, we define the discrete inner product. In this paper we derive a method to compute the coefficients of a recurrence relation generating a set of…

Using remote sensing data within an optimal spatiotemporal model for invasive plant management: the case of Ailanthus altissima in the Alta Murgia National Park

We tackle the problem of coupling a spatiotemporal model for simulating the spread and control of an invasive alien species with data coming from image processing and expert knowledge. In this study, we implement a spatially explicit optimal control model based on a reaction-diffusion equation…

Simulation of Finite-Size Particles in Turbulent Flows Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method

Particle laden turbulent flows occur in a variety of industrial applications. While the numerical simulation of such flows has seen significant advances in recent years, it still remains a challenging problem. Many studies investigated the rheology of dense suspensions in laminar flows as well as…

The emergence of supramolecular forces from lattice kinetic models of non ideal fluids: applications to the rheology of soft glassy materials

Morphologies and flow patterns in quenching of lamellar systems with shear

We study the behavior of a fluid quenched from the disordered into the lamellar phase under the action of a shear flow. The dynamics of the system is described by Navier-Stokes and convection-diffusion equations with the pressure tensor and the chemical potential derived by the Brazovskii free…

Segment Routing v6 - Security Issues and Experimental Results

SRv6 can provide hybrid cooperation between a centralized network controller and network nodes. IPv6 routers maintain multi-hop ECMP-aware segments, whereas the controller establishes a source-routed path through the network. Since the state of the flow is defined at the ingress to the network and…

Twisted gravitational waves

In general relativity (GR), linearized gravitational waves propagating in empty Minkowski spacetime along a fixed spatial direction have the property that the wave front is the Euclidean plane. Beyond the linear regime, exact plane waves in GR have been studied theoretically for a long time and…

Una tomba di guerriero da Altamura (Ba) e la pratica dei doni esotici in area apula

Wave propagation in a fluid flowing through a curved thin-walled elastic tube

The pulsatile flow in a curved elastic pipe of circular cross section is investigated. The unsteady flow of a viscous fluid and the wall motion equations are written in a toroidal coordinate system, superimposed and linearized over a steady state solution. Being the main application relative to the…

Optimal algorithm re-initialization for combinatorial optimization

We propose a new iterative procedure to find the best time for re-initialization of meta-heuristic algorithms to solve combinatorial optimization problems. The sequence of algorithm executions with different random inizializations evolves at each iteration by either adding new independent…
