Periodic solutions of whole line difference equations,

Periodicity of the solutions of whole line difference equations is investigated. The considered equations is linear and of convolution type. The expression of the solution by means of a periodic resolvent kernel is given.

CCl4 distribution derived from MIPAS ESA V7 data: validation, trend and lifetime estimation

Atmospheric emissions of Carbon tetrachloride CCl4 are regulated by the Montreal Protocol due to its role as a strong ozone-depleting substance. The molecule has been the subject of recent increased interest as a consequence of the so called ``mystery of CCl4,'' the discrepancy between atmospheric…

Laguerre-type special functions and population dynamics

We introduce new Laguerre-type population dynamics models. These models arise quite naturally by substituting in classical models the ordinary derivatives with the Laguerre derivatives and therefore by using the so called Laguerre-type exponentials instead of the ordinary exponential. The L-…

Altered Brain Criticality in Schizophrenia: New Insights From Magnetoencephalography

Schizophrenia has a complex etiology and symptomatology that is difficult to untangle. After decades of research, important advancements toward a central biomarker are still lacking. One of the missing pieces is a better understanding of how non-linear neural dynamics are altered in this patient…

Direct Optimization Using Gaussian Quadrature and Continuous Runge-Kutta Methods: Application to an Innovation Diffusion Model

In the present paper the discretization of a particular model arising in the economic field of innovation diffusion is developed. It consists of an optimal control problem governed by an ordinary differential equation. We propose a direct optimization approach characterized by an…

Lattice Boltzmann accelerated direct simulation Monte Carlo for dilute gas flow simulations.

Hybrid particle-continuum computational frameworks permit the simulation of gas flows by locally adjusting the resolution to the degree of non-equilibrium displayed by the flow in different regions of space and time. In this work, we present a new scheme that couples the direct simulation Monte…

Lattice Mesoscopic Scheme for Fluids with Dynamic Heterogeneities

We introduce and discuss a three-dimensional mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann model for the numerical simulation of strongly-interacting fluids with dynamic inhomogeneities. The model is based on an extension of the standard lattice Boltzmann dynamics in which streaming between neighboring lattice…

Physical mechanisms for droplet size and effective viscosity asymmetries in turbulent emulsions

By varying the oil volume fraction, the microscopic droplet size and the macroscopic rheology of emulsions are investigated in a Taylor-Couette turbulent shear flow. Although here oil and water in the emulsions have almost the same physical properties (density and viscosity), unexpectedly, we find…

A multi-relaxation lattice kinetic method for passive scalar diffusion

A kinetic Lattice-Boltzmann scheme for advection-diffusion is presented. The scheme is based on a matrix formulation of the lattice Boltzmann method which permits to handle non-isotropic diffusion-advection problems. In addition, by adjusting the kinetic eigenvectors defining the collision matrix…

On the dynamics of a nonlinear reaction-diffusion duopoly model

The self and cross diffusion action on the dynamic of the nonlinear continu- ous duopoly model introduced in [22], is investigated. Under Robin boundary conditions the longtime behavior and the linear and nonlinear stability of the steady states, are studied. The self and cross diffusion parameters…
