Source modeling of EEG data is an important tool for both neuroscience and clinical applications, such as epilepsy. Despite their simplicity, multiple dipole models remain highly desirable to explain neural sources. However, estimating dipole models from EEG time-series remains a difficult task, mainly due to the ill-posedness of the inverse problem and to the fact that the number of dipoles is usually not known a priori.

The paper concerns a continuous model governed by a ODE system originated by a discrete duopoly model with bounded rationality, based on constant conjectural variation. The aim of the paper is to show (i) the existence of an absorbing set in the phase space; (ii) linear stability analysis of the critical points of the system; (iii) nonlinear, global asymptotic stability of equilibrium of constant conjectural variation.

Bruno de Finetti è senza dubbio una delle figure più importanti per la storia della Statistica e del Calcolo delle Probabilità in Italia. Però i suoi interessi furono molto più ampi e compresero molti settori della cosiddetta matematica applicata. In particolare giocò un ruolo importante nella nascita del calcolo numerico e dell'informatica in Italia, settori che peraltro costituiscono importanti strumenti per l'applicazione dei suoi studi principali.

Introduction: The brain is a connected network, requiring complex-system measures to describe its organization principles [1,2]. Here, we aim at testing whether the normalized compression distance (NCD) [3] is a suitable quantifier of the functional connectivity between cortical regions. This new measure estimates the information shared by two signals comparing the compression length of one signal given the other, without requiring any representation of the single in harmonics or selecting a specific time window where to compare the two signals.

Electrocorticography (ECoG) is a neurophysiological modality that measures the distribution of electrical potentials, associated with either spontaneous or evoked neural activity, by means of electrodes grids implanted close to the cortical surface. A full interpretation of ECoG data, however, requires solving the ill-posed inverse problem of reconstructing the spatio-temporal distribution of neural currents responsible for the recorded signals.

ElectroCOrticoGraphy (ECoG) is an invasive neuroimaging technique that measures electrical potentials produced by brain currents via an electrode grid implanted on the cortical surface. A full interpretation of ECoG data is difficult because it requires solving the inverse problem of reconstructing the spatio-temporal distribution of neural currents responsible of the recorded ECoG signals, which is ill-posed. Only in the last few years novel computational methods to solve this inverse problem have been developed. This study describes a beamformer method for ECoG source modeling.

This work describes two applications of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) to the design of fixed and periodic routes. The first application is an industrial case in the field of touristic cruise planning where point of interests should be visited within exactly one of multiple time windows on a weekly time basis. The second application is in retail distribution of fuel oils where petrol stations must be refueled with given fuel oil amounts periodically within a given time horizon.

The likelihood of a subglacial lake beneath Amundsenisen Plateau at Southern Spitzbergen, Svalbard, pointed out by the flat signal within the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) remote survey of the area, is justified, here, via numerical simulation. This investigation has been developed under the assumption that the icefield thickness does not change on average, as it is confirmed by recently published physical measurements taken over the past forty years.
