On a Lyapunov functional relating shortening curves and viscous conservation laws

Active Model H: Scalar Active Matter in a Momentum-Conserving Fluid

We present a continuum theory of self-propelled particles, without alignment interactions, in a momentum-conserving solvent. To address phase separation, we introduce a dimensionless scalar concentration field ? with advective-diffusive dynamics. Activity creates a contribution ? to the deviatoric…

Effect of nanoscale flows on the surface structure of nanoporous catalysts

The surface structure and composition of a multi-component catalyst are critical factors in determining its catalytic performance. The surface composition can depend on the local pressure of the reacting species, leading to the possibility that the flow through a nanoporous catalyst can affect its…

Generalized golden ratios of ternary alphabets

Expansions in noninteger bases often appear in number theory and probability theory, and they are closely connected to ergodic theory, measure theory and topology. For two-letter alphabets the golden ratio plays a special role: in smaller bases only trivial expansions are unique, whereas in greater…

Admissible Riemann solvers for genuinely nonlinear $p$-systems of mixed type

Simulating Polymerization by Boltzmann Inversion Force Field Approach and Dynamical Nonequilibrium Reactive Molecular Dynamics

The radical polymerization process of acrylate compounds is, nowadays, numerically investigated using classical force fields and reactive molecular dynamics, with the aim to probe the gel-point transition as a function of the initial radical concentration. In the present paper, the gel-point…

BootCMatch: a software package for bootstrap AMG based on graph weighted matching

This paper has two main objectives: one is to describe some extensions of an adaptive Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) method of the form previously proposed by the first and third authors, and a second one is to present a new software framework, named BootCMatch, which implements all the components…

Fourier-Legendre approximation of a probability density from discrete data

We produce a positive approximation of a probability density in [0,1] when only a finite number of values (possibly affected by noise) is available. This approximation is obtained by computing a number of Legendre-Fourier coefficients and applying the Maximum Entropy method. An example of…

An S-System Parameter Estimation Method (SPEM) for Biological Networks

Advances in experimental biology, coupled with advances in computational power, bring new challenges to the interdisciplinary field of computational biology. One such broad challenge lies in the reverse engineering of gene networks, and goes from determining the structure of static networks, to…
