The use of a mixture of probability distributions in temperature interlaboratory comparisons

Several studies highlight the need for appropriate statistical and probabilistic tools to analyze the data provided by the participants in an interlaboratory comparison. In some temperature comparisons, where the measurand is a physical state, independent realizations of the same physical state are…

Tactical Production and Lot Size Planning with Lifetime Constraints: A Comparison of Model Formulations

In this work, we face a variant of the capacitated lot sizing problem. This is a classical problem addressing the issue of aggregating lot sizes for a finite number of discrete periodic demands that need to be satisfied, thus setting up production resources and eventually creating inventories,…

Gaussian approximation of nonlinear Hawkes processes

We give a general Gaussian bound for the first chaos (or innovation) of point processes with stochastic intensity constructed by embedding in a bivariate Poisson process. We apply the general result to nonlinear Hawkes processes, providing quantitative central limit theorems.

Lattice Fokker-Planck equation

A lattice version of the Fokker-Planck equation is introduced. The resulting numerical method is illustrated through the calculation of the electric conductivity of a one-dimensional charged fluid at zero and finite-temperature.

Spin precession in the Schwarzschild spacetime: circular orbits

We study the behavior of nonzero rest mass spinning test particles moving along circular orbits in the Schwarzschild spacetime in the case in which the components of the spin tensor are allowed to vary along the orbit, generalizing some previous work.

Some properties of the asymptotic location of poles of Padè approximants to noisy rational functions, relevant for modal analysis

In this paper, the modal analysis model, made up by a linear combination of complex exponential functions, is considered. Padè approximants to the Z-transform of a noisy sample are then considered, and the asymptotic locus of their poles is studied. It turns out that this locus is strongly related…

Nondestructive evaluation of spatially varying internal heat transfer coefficients in a tube

We derive a rule for the reconstruction of the internal heat transfer coefficient hint of a pipe, from temperature maps collected on the external face. The pipe is subjected to internal heating by connecting two electrodes to the external surface. To estimate hint we apply the perturbation theory…

Convergence of relaxation schemes to the equations of elastodynamics

Estimate of traffic emissions through multiscale second order models with heterogeneous data

In this paper we propose a multiscale traffic model, based on the family of Generic Second Order Models, which integrates multiple trajectory data into the velocity function. This combination of a second order macroscopic model with microscopic information allows us to reproduce significant…
