Multiphase semiclassical approximation of an electron in a one-dimensional crystalline lattice, II. Impurities, confinement and Bloch oscillations.

We present a computational approach for the WKB approximation of the wavefunction of an electron moving in a periodic one-dimensional crystal lattice by means of a nonstrictly hyperbolic system whose flux function stems from the Bloch spectrum of the Schrodinger operator. This second part focuses…

Shearing effects on the phase coarsening of binary mixtures using the active model B

The phase separation of a two-dimensional active binary mixture is studied under the action of an applied shear through numerical simulations. It is highlighted how the strength of the external flow modifies the initial shape of growing domains. The activity is responsible for the formation of…

Entropy-Assisted Computing of Low-Dissipative Systems

Entropy feedback is reviewed and highlighted as the guiding principle to reach extremely low dissipation. This principle is illustrated through turbulent flow simulations using the entropic lattice Boltzmann scheme.

Acceleration statistics of heavy particles in turbulence

We present the results of direct numerical simulations of heavy particle transport in homogeneous, isotropic, fully developed turbulence, up to resolution 512(3) (R-lambda approximate to 185). Following the trajectories of up to 120 million particles with Stokes numbers, St, in the range from 0.16…

Quantization of the rolling body problem with

We consider the problem of two bodies rolling one on each other. A quantization in introduced by means of the selection of base points and paths on one of the body. The reachability and path planning problem is considered.

Time-Series Clustering Methodology for Estimating Atmospheric Phase Screen in Ground-Based InSAR Data

In multitemporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) applications, propagation delay in the troposphere introduces a major source of disturbance known as atmospheric phase screen (APS). This study proposes a novel framework to compensate for the APS from multitemporal ground-based…

Quantitative morphotectonics of the Pliocene to Quaternary Auletta basin, southern Italy

The geomorphological evolution of the Pliocene-Quaternary Auletta basin, a wide fault-bounded depression of the southern Apennines axial zone, Italy, was reconstructed using both DEM-based morphometric analysis and classical morphotectonic investigations. Morphotectonic analyses have been…

Recursive approximation of the dominant eigenspace of an indefinite matrix

We consider here the problem of tracking the dominant eigenspace of an indefinite matrix by updating recursively a rank k approximation of the given matrix. The tracking uses a window of the given matrix, which increases at every step of the algorithm. Therefore, the rank of the approximation…

A note on the representation and definition of semiseparable matrices

In this paper the definition of semiseparable matrices is investigated. Properties of the frequently used definition and the corresponding representation by generators are deduced. Corresponding to the class of tridiagonal matrices another definition of semiseparable matrices is introduced…

The FORUM end-to-end simulator project: architecture and results

FORUM (Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring) will fly as the ninth ESA's Earth Explorer mission, and an end-to-end simulator (E2ES) has been developed as a support tool for the mission selection process and the subsequent development phases. The current status of the FORUM…
