We set a control model to study the biomechanical problem of swing pumping. After describing the sytem, we provide the solution to some optimal control problems. |

The development of high-efficiency porous catalyst membranes critically depends on our understanding of where the majority of the chemical conversions occur within the porous structure. This requires mapping of chemical reactions and mass transport inside the complex nanoscale architecture of… |

The problem of reconstructing signals and images from degraded ones is considered
in this paper. The latter problem is formulated as a linear system whose coefficient
matrix models the unknown point spread function and the right hand side represents
the observed image. Moreover, the coefficient… |

In this work we introduce and study the strong generalized minimum label spanning tree (GMLST), a novel optimization problem defined on edge-labeled graphs. Given a label set associated to each edge of the input graph, the aim is to look for the spanning tree using the minimum number of labels.… |

A 'temporal analogue' of the standard Poynting-Robertson effect is analyzed as induced by a dust of particles (instead of a gas of photons) surrounding a Schwarzschild black hole. Test particles inside this cloud undergo acceleration effects due to the presence of a friction force, so that the fate… |

The dynamics and rheology of a vesicle confined in a channel under shear flow are studied at finite temperature. The effect of finite temperature on vesicle motion and system viscosity is investigated. A two-dimensional numerical model, which includes thermal fluctuations and is based on a… |

By means of mesoscopic numerical simulations of a model soft-glassy material, we investigate the role of boundary roughness on the flow behaviour of the material, probing the bulk/wall and global/local rheologies. We show that the roughness reduces the wall slip induced by wettability properties… |
