Swapping 2 × 2 blocks in the Schur and generalized Schur form

In this paper we describe how to swap two 2 × 2 blocks in a real Schur form and a generalized real Schur form. We pay special attention to the numerical stability of the method. We also illustrate the stability of our approach by a series of numerical tests.

Kalman filter physical retrieval of surface emissivity and temperature from geostationary infrared radiances

The high temporal resolution of data acquisition by geostationary satellites and their capability to resolve the diurnal cycle allows for the retrieval of a valuable source of information about geophysical parameters. In this paper, we implement a Kalman filter approach to apply temporal…

Convergence rate of Markov chains and hybrid numerical schemes to jump-diffusions with application to the Bates model

We study the rate of weak convergence of Markov chains to diffusion processes under quite general assumptions. We give an example in the financial framework, applying the convergence analysis to a multiple jumps tree approximation of the CIR process. Then, we combine the Markov chain approach with…

THE ANTITRIANGULAR FACTORIZATION OF SYMMETRIC MATRICES

Indefinite symmetric matrices occur in many applications, such as optimization, least squares problems, partial differential equations, and variational problems. In these applications one is often interested in computing a factorization of the indefinite matrix that puts into evidence the inertia…

Dixon's extended bodies and weak gravitational waves

General relativity considers Dixon’s theory as the standard theory to deal with the motion of extended bodies in a given gravitational background. We discuss here the features of the “reaction” of an extended body to the passage of a weak gravitational wave. We find that the body acquires a dipolar…

Geometric Numerical Integration in Ecological Modelling

A major neglected weakness of many ecological models is the numerical method used to solve the governing systems of differential equations. Indeed, the discrete dynamics described by numerical integrators can provide spurious solution of the corresponding continuous model. The approach represented…

Growth Arrest-Specific Transcript 5 associated snoRNA levels are related to p53 expression and DNA damage in colorectal cancer

Background: The growth arrest-specific transcript 5 gene (GAS5) encodes a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and hosts a number of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) that have recently been implicated in multiple cellular processes and cancer. Here, we investigate the relationship between DNA damage, p53, and…
