Numerical aspects of nonlinear Schrödinger equations in the presence of caustics

The aim of this text is to develop on the asymptotics of some 1-D nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations from both the theoretical and the numerical perspectives, when a caustic is formed. We review rigorous results in the field and give some heuristics in cases where justification is still needed. The…

Penetration of the blood-brain barrier and the anti-tumour effect of a novel PLGA-lysoGM1/DOX micelle drug delivery system

Effective treatment of glioma and other central nervous system (CNS) diseases is hindered by the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). A novel nano-delivery vehicle system composed of PLGA-lysoGM1/DOX micelles was developed to cross the BBB for CNS treatment. We have shown that doxorubicin (…

On the regularity theory of bi-Sobolev mappings

We provide regularity properties for the inverse map f^-1 under suitable assumptions on q-distorsion function of f, in bounded domains of R^2.

A fast algorithm for the recursive calculation of dominant singular subspaces

Nonlocal PageRank

In this work we introduce and study a nonlocal version of the PageRank. In our approach, the random walker explores the graph using longer excursions than just moving between neighboring nodes. As a result, the corresponding ranking of the nodes, which takes into account a long-range interaction…

Evaluating the effect of the inter-relationship among the different spectral bands on IASI performances

Mathematical modeling of vehicular traffic: A discrete kinetic theory approach

Following some general ideas on the discrete kinetic and stochastic game theory proposed by one of the authors in a previous work, this paper develops a discrete velocity mathematical model for vehicular traffic along a one-way road. The kinetic scale is chosen because, unlike the macroscopic one,…

Vertex flow models for vehicular traffic on networks

Compact Ground-Based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Short-range structural monitoring

Recently, structural monitoring by radar remote sensing has become more necessary for both economic and security reasons. Infrastructure monitoring with no incorporated deformation sensors (e.g., old generation water dams for which regulations did not impose monitoring capabilities) is usually…
