Stability of Numerical Solutions for Abel-Volterra Integral Equations of the Second Kind

We analyze the stability of convolution quadrature methods for weakly singular Volterra integral equations with respect to a linear test equation. We prove that the asymptotic behavior of the numerical solution replicates the one of the continuous problem under some restriction on the stepsize.…

Relative rearrangement and Lebesgue spaces L^{p()} with variable exponent

We apply the techniques of monotone and relative rearrangements to the non rearrangement invariant spaces Lp(·) (? ) with variable exponent. In particular, we show that the maps u ? L p( ·) (? ) -> k(t )u* ? L p * (·)(0, meas? ) and u ? L p( ·) (? ) -> u* ? Lp* (·) (0, meas? ) are locally ?-…

Phase-field lattice kinetic scheme for the numerical simulation of dendritic growth

A computational model of the effects of macronutrients absorption and physical exercise on hormonal regulation and metabolic homeostasis

Regular physical exercise and appropriate nutrition affect metabolic and hormonal responses and may reduce the risk of developing chronic non-communicable diseases such as high blood pressure, ischemic stroke, coronary heart disease, some types of cancer, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Computational…

Statistical ensemble of gene regulatory networks of macrophage differentiation

Background: Macrophages cover a major role in the immune system, being the most plastic cell yielding several key immune functions. Methods: Here we derived a minimalistic gene regulatory network model for the differentiation of macrophages into the two phenotypes M1 (pro-) and M2 (anti-…

The footprint of metabolism in the organization of mammalian genomes

Background: At present five evolutionary hypotheses have been proposed to explain the great variability of the genomic GC content among and within genomes: the mutational bias, the biased gene conversion, the DNA breakpoints distribution, the thermal stability and the metabolic rate. Several…

Implementation of the regularized structured total least squares algorithms for blind image deblurring

Efficient GPU parallelization of adaptive mesh refinement technique for high-order compressible solver with immersed boundary

A new, highly parallelized, adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) library, equipped with an accurate immersed boundary (IB) method for solving the compressible Navier-Stokes system is presented. The library, named ADAM, is designed to efficiently exploit modern exascale GPU-accelerated supercomputers and…

Numerical simulations of compressible Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence in stratified fluids

We present the results of our numerical simulations of the Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence, performed using a recently proposed (Sbragaglia et al 2009 J. Fluid Mech. 628 299, Scagliarini et al 2010 Phys. Fluids 22 055101) lattice Boltzmann method that can describe consistently a thermal compressible…

Reaction spreading on graphs

We study reaction-diffusion processes on graphs through an extension of the standard reaction-diffusion equation starting from first principles. We focus on reaction spreading, i.e. on the time evolution of the reaction product, $M(t)$. At variance with pure diffusive processes, characterized by…
