Nonuniqueness of solutions for a class of forward-backward parabolic equations

We study the initial-boundary value problem (Formula presented.) with measure-valued initial data. Here ? is a bounded open interval, ?(0)=?(?)=0, ? is increasing in (0,?) and decreasing in (?,?), and the regularising term ? is increasing but bounded. It is natural to study measure-valued solutions…

Can local single-pass methods solve any stationary Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation?

Assessing scientific collaboration through coauthorship and content sharing

Over the past decade there have been many investigations aimed at defining the role of scientists and research groups in their coauthorship networks. Starting from the assumptions of network analysis, in this work we propose an analytical definition of a collaboration potential between authors of…

Network interdiction via a Critical Disruption Path: Branch-and-Price algorithms

This paper presents an innovative approach to maximally disconnect a given network. More specifically, this work introduces the concept of a Critical Disruption Path, a path between a source and a destination vertex whose deletion minimizes the cardinality of the largest remaining connected…

A quantitative comparison of stochastic mortality models on Italian population data

Mortality models play a basic role in the evaluation of longevity risk by demographers and actuaries. Their performance strongly depends on the different patterns shown by mortality data in different countries. A comprehensive quantitative comparison of the most used methods for forecasting…

Mathematical modelling of experimental data for crystallization inhibitors

In this paper, we propose a new mathematical model describing the effect of phosphocitrate (PC) on sodium sulphate crystallization inside bricks. This model describes salt and water transport, and crystal formation in a one dimensional symmetry. This is a preliminary study that takes into account…

Numerical simulations of compressible Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence in stratified fluids

We present the results of our numerical simulations of the Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence, performed using a recently proposed (Sbragaglia et al 2009 J. Fluid Mech. 628 299, Scagliarini et al 2010 Phys. Fluids 22 055101) lattice Boltzmann method that can describe consistently a thermal compressible…

Multipolar invariants and the eccentricity enhancement function parametrization of gravitational radiation

Gravitational radiation can be decomposed as an infinite sum of radiative multipole moments, which parametrize the waveform at infinity. The multipolar-post-Minkowskian formalism provides a connection between these multipoles and the source multipole moments, known as explicit integrals over the…

Analysis of the asymmetric behavior of propeller-rudder system of twin screw ships by CFD

The interference between the hull, propeller and rudder remarkably affects the control and maneuvering capabilities of marine vehicles. In case of twin screw/twin rudder ships, the asymmetric evolution of the wake past the hull causes the asymmetric functioning of the propeller-rudder system.…
