Intermittency in the velocity distribution of heavy particles in turbulence

The statistics of velocity differences between pairs of heavy inertial point particles suspended in an incompressible turbulent flow is studied and found to be extremely intermittent. The problem is particularly relevant to the estimation of the efficiency of collisions among heavy particles in…

Convergence of numerical schemes for viscosity solutions to integro-differential degenerate parabolic problems arising in financial theory

We study the numerical approximation of viscosity solutions for Parabolic Integro-Differential Equations (PIDE). Similar models arise in option pricing, to generalize the Black-Scholes equation, when the processes which generate the underlying stock returns may contain both a continuous part and…

Non-local torsion functions and embeddings

Given (Formula presented.), we discuss the embedding of (Formula presented.) in (Formula presented.). In particular, for (Formula presented.) we deduce its compactness on all open sets (Formula presented.) on which it is continuous. We then relate, for all q up the fractional Sobolev conjugate…

A priori estimates for solutions to anisotropic elliptic problems via symmetrization

We obtain a comparison result for solutions to nonlinear fully anisotropic elliptic problems by means of anisotropic symmetrization. As consequence we deduce a priori estimates for norms of the relevant solutions.

Le diverse declinazioni della matematica per lo sviluppo dell'intelligenza artificiale nei seminari "AIM - Fundamentals and beyond".

Tra novembre 2020 e giugno 2021, l'Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo "Mauro Picone" (IAC) ha realizzato un ciclo di seminari dedicati al rapporto tra Intelligenza Artificiale e Matematica, denominato AIM - Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics - Fundamentlas and beyond. Nel presente lavoro…

Microscopic and macroscopic models for the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease

In the first part of this paper we review a mathematical model for the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that was developed in subsequent steps over several years. The model is meant to describe the evolution of AD in vivo. In Achdou et al (2013 J. Math. Biol. 67 1369-92) we treated…

Spacetime Splitting, Admissible Coordinates and Causality

To confront relativity theory with observation, it is necessary to split spacetime into its temporal and spatial components. The timelike threading approach involves fundamental observers that are at rest in space; indeed, this (1+3) splitting implies restrictions on the gravitational potentials $(…

Corrosion detection in conducting boundaries

We consider a model for detecting corrosion on the (inaccessible) conducting top side of a metallic plate. We suppose that the effects of corrosion attack consist in material loss. The perturbation so induced in the geometry of the plate is described by a positive function $\theta$. We prove…
