A NOTE ON THE LATTICE BOLTZMANN VERSUS FINITE-DIFFERENCE METHODS FOR THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF THE FISHER'S EQUATION

We assess the Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method versus centered finite-difference schemes for the solution of the advection-diffusion-reaction (ADR) Fisher's equation. It is found that the LB method performs significantly better than centered finite-difference schemes, a property we attribute to the…

Analysis of Perturbed Volterra Integral Equations on Time Scales

This paper describes the effect of perturbation of the kernel on the solutions of linear Volterra integral equations on time scales and proposes a new perspective for the stability analysis of numerical methods.

A stochastic model for loan interest rates

Abstract. The topic of interest rate restrictions and their legal implications represents a delicate subject about which a recent inventory of EU authorities was developed. This is aimed to inspection of the so called principle of "good morals" against usury for the Member States. The most recent…

Boundedness of solutions to anisotropic variational problems

Boundedness results of minimizers of fully anisotropic variational problems and of weak solutions to fully anisotropic quasilinear elliptic equations are established.

Evaluating visibility at sea: Instrumental data and historical nautical records. Mount Etna from the Calabrian Ionian coast (Italy)

Visibility has an encompassing importance in humans' perception of the landscape, since the first encounter with a new environment normally occurs through sight. In historical and archaeological studies, two main methods (i.e., the geometric method and the Geographical Information System [GIS]…

An algorithm for the numerical resolution of a class of singular integral equations

We consider a class of integral equations of Volterra type with constant coefficients containing a logarithmic difference kernel. This equation can be transformed into an equivalent singular equation of Cauchy type which allows us to give the explicit formula for the solution. The numerical method…

Rotational behaviour of red blood cells in suspension: a mesoscale simulation study

The nature of blood as a suspension of red blood cells makes computational haemodynamics a demanding task. Our coarse-grained blood model, which builds on a lattice Boltzmann method for soft particle suspensions, enables the study of the collective behaviour of the order of 10(6) cells in…

Mapping Precipitable Water Vapor Time Series From Sentinel-1 Interferometric SAR

In this article, a methodology to retrieve the precipitable water vapor (PWV) from a differential interferometric time series is presented. We used external data provided by atmospheric weather models (e.g., ERA-Interim reanalysis) to constrain the initial state and by Global Navigation Satellite…

A destination-preserving model for simulating Wardrop equilibria in traffic flow on networks

In this paper we propose a LWR-like model for traffic flow on networks which allows to track several groups of drivers, each of them being characterized only by their destination in the network. The path actually followed to reach the destination is not assigned a priori, and can be chosen by the…
