How the interval between prime and boost injection affects the immune response in a computational model of the immune system

Wavelet kernel penalized estimation for non-equispaced design

The paper considers regression problems with univariate design points. The design points are irregular and no assumptions on their distribution are imposed. The regression function is retrieved by a wavelet based reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) technique with the penalty equal to the sum…

New solutions of the Ermakov-Pinney equation in curved spacetime

An Ermakov-Pinney-like equation associated with the scalar wave equation in curved space-time is here studied. The example of Schwarzschild space-time considered in the present work shows that this equation can be viewed more as a "model equation," with interesting applications in black hole…

A hyperbolic model of spatial evolutionary game theory

We present a one space dimensional model with finite speed of propagation for population dynamics, based both on the hyperbolic Cattaneo dynamics and the evolutionary game theory. We prove analytical properties of the model and global estimates for solutions, by using a hyperbolic nonlinear Trotter…

Bayesian analysis of dynamic Magnetic Resonance breast images

Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging with contrast agent is a very promising technique for mammography. A temporal sequence of magnetic resonance images of the same slice are acquired following the injection of a contrast agent in the blood stream. The image intensity depends on the local…

Signed radon measure-valued solutions of flux saturated scalar conservation laws

We prove existence and uniqueness for a class of signed Radon measure-valued entropy solutions of the Cauchy problem for a first order scalar hyperbolic conservation law in one space dimension. The initial data of the problem is a finite superposition of Dirac masses, whereas the flux is Lipschitz…

Fundamental diagrams in traffic flow: the case of heterogeneous kinetic models

Experimental studies on vehicular traffic provide data on quantities like density, flux, and mean speed of the vehicles. However, the diagrams relating these variables (the fundamental and \emph{speed} diagrams) show some peculiarities not yet fully reproduced nor explained by mathematical models.…

Lagrangian Numerical Approximations to One-Dimensional Convolution-Diffusion Equations

This work focuses on the numerical analysis of one-dimensional nonlinear diffusion equations involving a convolution product. First, homogeneous friction equations are considered. Algorithms follow recent ideas on mass transportation methods and lead to simple schemes which can be proved to be…

BiCoN: Network-constrained biclustering of patients and omics data

Unsupervised learning approaches are frequently employed to stratify patients into clinically relevant subgroups and to identify biomarkers such as disease-associated genes. However, clustering and biclustering techniques are oblivious to the functional relationship of genes and are thus not…
