The Role of Very Low-Reynolds Hydrodynamics on the Transfer of Information Among Active Agents

We investigate the role of hydrodynamic interactions on the decision-making and leader-identification processes within a group of fifty small-size active individuals, immersed in a viscous fluid at very low Reynolds number, . A fraction of the individuals is informed about the spatial location of…

Traffic flow on a road network

Starting from the classical fluidodynamic models for traffic flow, we extend the theory to general networks. The problem at junction is underdetermined and is solved by two rules: (A) Incoming traffic distributes to outgoing roads according to fixed coefficients; (B) Drivers optimize the trough…

Soil Moisture Estimation Using Atmospherically Corrected C-Band InSAR Data

A methodology to generate calibrated maps of soil moisture from C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images processed by SAR interferometry (InSAR) technique is presented. The proposed methodology uses atmospheric phase delay (APD) maps obtained from a time series of Sentinel-1 interferograms, to…

Uniform approximation on [-1,1] via discrete de la Vallée Poussin means

Starting from the function values on the roots of Jacobi polynomials, we construct a class of discrete de la Vallée Poussin means, by approximating the Fourier coefficients with a Gauss-Jacobi quadrature rule. Unlike the Lagrange interpolation polynomials, the resulting algebraic polynomials are…

A Fast Algorithm to Solve Nonlinear Hypersingular Integral Equations Arising in a Crack Problem

A fast algorithm related to the generalized minimal residual algorithm (GMRES) is proposed to approximate solution of a nonlinear hypersingular integral equation arising in a crack problem. At first, a collocation method is proposed and developed in weighted Sobolev space. Then, the Newton-…

Fast regularized structured total least squares algorithm for solving the basic deconvolution problem

Cassini and extra force constraints to nonminimally coupled gravity with a screening mechanism

We consider a nonminimally coupled curvature-matter gravity theory at the Solar System scale. Both a fifth force of Yukawa type and a further non-Newtonian extra force that arises from the nonminimal coupling are present in the solar interior and in the solar atmosphere up to interplanetary space.…

Historical Archive of the Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo

L'Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo "Mauro Picone" (IAC) si appresta nel 2017 a celebrare nel 2017 i novantanni della sua fondazione. L'articolo fa una breve storia dell'IAC e ricorda i successi del passato.

A Stochastic Location Problem with Applications to Tele-Diagnostic

Nel presente lavoro studiamo problemi di localizzazione stocastica.
