Analisi storica degli strumenti di calcolo utilizzati presso l'allora Istituto Nazionale per le Applicazioni del Calcolo prima dell'acquisto del calcolatore elettronico FINAC

Modeling and Simulation of Cancer Immunoprevention Vaccine

We present an in silico model that simulates the immune system responses to tumor cells in naive and vaccinated mice. We have demonstrated the ability of this model to accurately reproduce the experimental results. Motivation: In vivo experiments on HER-2/neu mice have shown the effectiveness of…

Solving nonlinear systems of equations via spectral residual methods: stepsize selection and applications

Spectral residual methods are derivative-free and low-cost per iteration procedures for solving nonlinear systems of equations. They are generally coupled with a nonmonotone linesearch strategy and compare well with Newton-based methods for large nonlinear systems and sequences of nonlinear systems…

COEXISTENCE FOR MULTIPLE LARGEST REPRODUCTION RATIOS OF A MULTI-STRAIN SIS EPIDEMIC MODEL

In this paper, to complete the global dynamics of a multi-strains SIS epidemic model, we establish a precise result on coexistence for the cases of the partial and complete duplicated multiple largest reproduction ratios for this model.

Particle trapping in three-dimensional fully developed turbulence

The statistical properties of fluid particles transported by a three-dimensional fully developed turbulent flow are investigated by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations. Single trajectory statistics are investigated in a time range spanning more than three decades, from less than a…

Algebraically special frequencies of NUT black holes

The algebraically special frequencies of Taub-NUT black hole are investigated in detail in comparison with the known results concerning the case of Schwarzschild. The periodicity of the time coordinate, required for regularity of the solution, prevents algebraically special frequencies to be…

A non-local semilinear eigenvalue problem

We prove that positive solutions of the fractional Lane-Emden equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions satisfy pointwise estimates in terms of the best constant in Poincaré's inequality on all open sets, and are isolated in $L^1$ on smooth bounded ones, whence we deduce the isolation…

Gradient regularity for quasilinear elliptic Dirichlet problems in the plane

The problem is addressed of the maximal integrability of the gradient of solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations, with merely measurable coefficients, in two variables. Optimal results are obtained in the framework of Orlicz spaces, and in the more general setting of all rearrangement-invariant…

Towards a mesoscopic model of water-like fluids with hydrodynamic interactions

We present a mesoscopic lattice model for non-ideal fluid flows with directional interactions, mimicking the effects of hydrogen bonds in water. The model supports a rich and complex structural dynamics of the orientational order parameter, and exhibits the formation of disordered domains whose…

A Comparative Simulation Study of Wavelet Shrinkage Estimators for Poisson Counts

Using computer simulations, the finite sample performance of a number of classical and Bayesian wavelet shrinkage estimators for Poisson counts is examined. For the purpose of comparison, a variety of intensity functions, background intensity levels, sample sizes, primary resolution levels, wavelet…
