Vanishing viscosity approximation for linear transport equations on finite starshaped networks

In this paper, we study linear parabolic equations on a finite oriented star-shaped network; the equations are coupled by transmission conditions set at the inner node, which do not impose continuity on the unknown. We consider this problem as a parabolic approximation of a set of the first-order…

On the genome base composition of teleosts: the effect of environment and lifestyle

Background: The DNA base composition is well known to be highly variable among organisms. Bio-physic studies on the effect of the GC increments on the DNA structure have shown that GC-richer DNA sequences are more bendable. The result was the keystone of the hypothesis proposing the metabolic rate…

An affirmative answer to “Gopalsamy and Liu’s conjecture” on population models with multiple piecewise constant arguments

Generalised shot noise Cox processes

We introduce a new class of models for aggregate or clustered point patterns, which encompasses and extends most of the classical models. We derive summary statistics and simulation procedures.

on the large deviations of a class of modulated additive processes

We prove that the large deviation principle holds for a class of processes inspired by semi-Markov additive processes. For the processes we consider, the sojourn times in the phase process need not be independent and identically distributed. Moreover the state selection process need not be…

Gyroscope precession along unbound equatorial plane orbits around a Kerr black hole

The precession of a test gyroscope along unbound equatorial plane geodesic orbits around a Kerr black hole is analyzed with respect to a static reference frame whose axes point towards the "fixed stars." The accumulated precession angle after a complete scattering process is evaluated and compared…

Uncovering the complexity of transcriptomes with RNA-Seq

In recent years, the introduction of massively parallel sequencing platforms for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) protocols, able to simultaneously sequence hundred thousand DNA fragments, dramatically changed the landscape of the genetics studies. RNA-Seq for transcriptome studies, Chip-Seq for…

Periastron shift in Weyl class spacetimes

The periastron position advance for geodesic motion in axially symmetric solutions of the Einstein field equations belonging to the Weyl class of vacuum solutions is investigated. Explicit examples corresponding to either static solutions (single Chazy-Curzon, Schwarzschild and a pair of them), or…

Reconstruction of a piecewise constant function from noisy Fourier coefficients by Padè method

The problem of reconstructing a piecewise constant function from a finite number of its Fourier coefficients perturbed by noise is considered. A reconstruction method, based on the computation of the Padè approximants to the Z-transform of the sequence of the noisy Fourier coefficients is proposed…

Pseudo-parabolic regularization of forward-backward parabolic equations: Power-type nonlinearities

We study a quasilinear parabolic equation of forward-backward type, under assumptions on the nonlinearity which hold for a wide class of mathematical models, using a pseudo-parabolic regularization of power type.We prove existence and uniqueness of positive solutions of the regularized problem in a…
