Muscl reconstruction and haar wavelets

MUSCL extensions (Monotone Upstream-centered Schemes for Conservation Laws) of the Godunov numerical scheme for scalar conservation laws are shown to admit a rather simple reformulation when recast in the formalism of the Haar multi-resolution analysis of L<sup>2</sup>(R). By pursuing…

A fully-discrete-state kinetic theory approach to modeling vehicular traffic

This paper presents a new mathematical model of vehicular traffic, based on the methods of the generalized kinetic theory, in which the space of microscopic states (position and speed) of the vehicles is genuinely discrete. While in the recent literature discrete-velocity kinetic models of car…

Analysis of the HBLA-B27 extended haplotype in Sardinia disclosed additional predisposing factors for Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Estimation algorithm for a hybrid pde-ode model inspired by immunocompetent cancer-on-chip experiment

The present work is motivated by the development of a mathematical model mimicking the mechanisms observed in lab-on-chip experiments, made to reproduce on microfluidic chips the in vivo reality. Here we consider the Cancer-on-Chip experiment where tumor cells are treated with chemotherapy drug and…

Lattice Boltzmann model for resistive relativistic magnetohydrodynamics

In this paper, we develop a lattice Boltzmann model for relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Even though the model is derived for resistive MHD, it is shown that it is numerically robust even in the high conductivity (ideal MHD) limit. In order to validate the numerical method, test simulations…

Regularization of the slip length divergence in water nanoflows by inhomogeneities at the Angstrom scale

Heat-Jarrow-Morton interest rate dynamics and approximately consistent forward rate curves

We study a finite{dimensional approach to the Heath Jarrow Morton model for interest rate and introduce a notion of approximate consistency for a family of functions in a deterministic and stochastic framework. This amounts to asking the decrease of the minimum distance in least squares sense. We…

Emulating complex simulations by machine learning methods

Background: The aim of the present paper is to construct an emulator of a complex biological system simulator using a machine learning approach. More specifically, the simulator is a patient-specific model that integrates metabolic, nutritional, and lifestyle data to predict the metabolic and…

Highly optimized simulations on single- and multi-GPU systems of the 3D Ising spin glass model

We present a highly optimized implementation of a Monte Carlo (MC) simulator for the three-dimensional Ising spin-glass model with bimodal disorder, i.e.; the 3D Edwards-Anderson model running on CUDA enabled GPUs. Multi-GPU systems exchange data by means of the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The…

Unified framework for a side-by-side comparison of different multicomponent algorithms: Lattice Boltzmann vs. phase field model

Lattice Boltzmann models (LBM) and phase field models (PFM) are two of the most widespread approaches for the numerical study of multicomponent fluid systems. Both methods have been successfully employed by several authors but, despite their popularity, still remains unclear how to properly compare…
