Multiphase image segmentation via equally distanced multiple well potential

Variational models for image segmentation, e.g. Mumford-Shah variational model [47] and Chan-Vese model [21,59], generally involve a regularization term that penalizes the length of the boundaries of the segmentation. In practice often the length term is replaced by a weighted length, i.e., some…

Over-relaxation methods and coupled Markov chains for Monte Carlo simulation

This paper is concerned with improving the performance of certain Markov chain algorithms for Monte Carlo simulation. We propose a new algorithm for simulating from multivariate Gaussian densities. This algorithm combines ideas from coupled Markov chain methods and from an existing algorithm based…

Multiphase lattice Boltzmann on the Cell Broadband Engine

Computational experiments are one of the most used and flexible investigation tools in fluid dynamics. The Lattice Boltzmann Equation is a well established computational method particularly promising for multi-phase flows at micro and macro scales. Here we present preliminary results on…

Bootstrap AMG for Spectral Clustering

Graph Laplacian is a popular tool for analyzing graphs, in particular in graph partitioning and clustering. Given a notion of similarity (via an adjacency matrix), graph clustering refers to identifying different groups such that vertices in the same group are more similar compared to vertices…

Mesoscale modelling of soft flowing crystal

We outline the main ideas behind the numerical modelling of soft flowing crystals, paying special attention to their application to microfluidic devices for the design of novel mesoscale porous materials.
