Extended interpolation in some Sobolev-type spaces

Boundedness and convergence of the extended Lagrange interpolating operator are investigated in the space L_u,t^p of Sobolev type.

Numerical study of an evolutive model for magnetoelastic materials

Regular syntheses and solutions to discontinuous odes

Si discutono le definizione di soluzioni ad ODE discontinue in relazione al problema della ricostruzione delle traiettorie ottime da un feedback. In particolare si danno condizioni su feedback stratificati alla Boltianskii-Brunovsky per avere l'uguaglianza fra soluzioni alla Krasowskii e…

A transversal method of lines for the numerical modeling of vertical infiltration into the vadose zone

Here some issues are studied, related to the numerical solution of Richards' equation in a one dimensional spatial domain by a technique based on the Transversal Method of Lines (TMoL). The core idea of TMoL approach is to semi-discretize the time derivative of Richards' equation: afterward a…

A well-balanced scheme able to cope with hydrodynamic limits for linear kinetic models

Well-balanced schemes were introduced to numerically enforce consistency with longtime behavior of the underlying continuous PDE. When applied to linear kinetic models, like the Goldstein-Taylor system, this construction generates discretizations which are inconsistent with the hydrodynamic stiff…

The Value at Risk of the mathematical provision: critical issues

The paper addresses the calculation of the value at risk (VaR) of the mathematical provision applied in a fair valuation context. Following a balance-sheet approach, the classical definition of VaR needs some clarifications. For identifying worst cases it is opportune to observe that an increase in…

Helical Polymer in Cylindrical Confining Geometries

Using an algorithm for simulating equilibrium configurations, we study a fluctuating helical polymer either (i) contained in a cylindrical pore or (ii) wound around a cylindrical rod. We work in the regime where both the contour length and the persistence length of the helical polymer are much…

Existence and regularity for eddy current system with nonsmooth conductivity

We discuss the well-posedness of the "transient eddy current" magneto-quasi-static approximation of Maxwell's initial value problem with bounded and measurable conductivity, with sources, on a domain. We prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions, and we provide global Hölder estimates…

Internal dynamics and activated processes in soft-glassy materials

Plastic rearrangements play a crucial role in the characterization of soft-glassy materials, such as emulsions and foams. Based on numerical simulations of soft-glassy systems, we study the dynamics of plastic rearrangements at the hydrodynamic scales where thermal fluctuations can be neglected.…
