Properties of a Variational Model for Video Inpainting

We consider a variational model analyzed in March and Riey (Inverse Probl Imag 11(6): 997-1025, 2017) for simultaneous video inpainting and motion estimation. The model has applications in the field of recovery of missing data in archive film materials. A gray-value video content is reconstructed…

IMSP schemes for spatially explicit models of cyclic populations and metapopulation dynamics

We examine spatially explicit models described by reaction-diffusion partial differential equations for the study of predator-prey population dynamics. The numerical methods we propose are based on the coupling of a finite difference/element spatial discretization and a suitable partitioned Runge-…

Removal of Color Scratches from Old Motion Picture Films Exploiting Human Perception

In this paper a unified model for both detection and restoration of line scratches on color movies is presented. It exploits a generalization of the light diffraction effect for modeling the shape of scratches, while perception laws are used for their automatic detection and removal. The detection…

An interface-free multi-scale multi-order model for traffic flow

In this paper we present a new multi-scale method for reproducing traffic flow which couples a first-order macroscopic model with a second-order microscopic model, avoiding any interface or boundary conditions between them. The multi-scale model is characterized by the fact that microscopic and…

Gene Therapy: The Role of Cytoskeleton in Gene Transfer Studies Based on Biology and Mathematics

Gene therapy is a promising approach for treating a wide range of human pathologies such as genetic disorders as well as diseases acquired over time. Viral and non-viral vectors are used to convey sequences of genes that can be expressed for therapeutic purposes. Plasmid DNA is receiving…

Analytical determination of the periastron advance in spinning binaries from self-force computations

We present the first analytical computation of the (conservative) gravitational self-force correction to the periastron advance around a spinning black hole. Our result is accurate to the second order in the rotational parameter and through the 9.5 post-Newtonian level. It has been obtained as the…

A two-dimensional version of the Godunov scheme for convex, scalar balance laws

A Godunov scheme is derived for two-dimensional scalar conservation laws without or with source terms following ideas originally proposed by Boukadida and LeRoux [Math. Comput., 63 (1994), pp. 541-553] in the context of a staggered Lax-Friedrichs scheme. In both situations, the numerical fluxes are…

Unstructured lattice Boltzmann method for hemodynamics flows with shear-dependent viscosity

In the search of potential epitopes for Wuhan seafood market pneumonia virus using high order nullomers

Alarms periodically emerge for viral pneumonia infections due to coronavirus. In all cases, these are zoonoses passing the barrier between species and infect humans. The legitimate concern of the international community is due to the fact that the new identified coronavirus, named SARS-CoV-2 (…
