We prove existence of solutions of a new free boundary problem described by a system of degenerate parabolic equations. The problem arises in petroleum engineering and concerns fluid flows in diatomite rocks. The unknown functions represent the pressure of the fluid and a damage parameter of the… |

The problem of classifying multispectral image data is studied here. We propose a new Bayesian method for this. The method uses "a priori" spatial information modeled by means of a suitable Markov random field. The image data for each class are assumed to be i.i.d. following a multivariate Gaussian… |

We deal with the numerical evaluation of the Hilbert transform on the real line by a Gauss type quadrature rule. The convergence and the stability of the method are investigated. The goodness of the numerical results for practical applications is examined. |

Many scientific applications require the solution of large and sparse linear systems of equations using Krylov subspace methods; in this case, the choice of an effective preconditioner may be crucial for the convergence of the Krylov solver. Algebraic MultiGrid (AMG) methods are widely used as… |

The non-inertial flow of a shear thinning fluid between intersecting planes is studied using a multi-parameter continuation technique. Unlike the classical linearly viscous fluid, it is found that boundary layers develop even in the case of non-inertial flows in both converging and diverging flow.… |

We consider the problem of testing for additivity in the standard multiple nonparametric regression model. We derive optimal (in the minimax sense) non- adaptive and adaptive hypothesis testing procedures for additivity against the composite nonparametric alternative that the response function… |

Fully three-dimensional, time-dependent, direct simulations of the non-ideal Navier-Stokes equations for a two-component fluid shed light into the mechanism which inhibits droplet breakup in step emulsifiers below a critical threshold of the width-to-height (w/h) ratio of the microfluidic nozzle.… |

The optical medium analogy of a given spacetime was developed decades ago and has since then been widely applied to different gravitational contexts. Here we consider the case of a colliding gravitational wave spacetime, generalizing previous results concerning single gravitational pulses. Given… |
