Godel spacetime: Planar geodesics and gyroscope precession

Using standard cylindrical-like coordinates naturally adapted to the cylindrical symmetry of the Godel spacetime, we study elliptic like geodesic motion on hyperplanes orthogonal to the symmetry axis through an eccentricity-semi-latus rectum parametrization which is familiar from the Newtonian…

A uniqueness criterion for measure-valued solutions of scalar hyperbolic conservation laws,

-- We prove existence and uniqueness of Radon measure-valued solutions of the Cauchy problem for a first order scalar hyperbolic conservation law in one space dimension, the initial data being a finite superposition of Dirac masses and the flux being Lipschitz continuous, bounded and suciently…

A numerical study of a nonlinear system arising in modeling of ferromagnets

Highly Automated Dipole EStimation (HADES)

Diffusion-Driven X-Ray Two-Dimensional Patterns Denoising

The use of a mathematical model is proposed in order to denoise X-ray two-dimensional patterns. The method relies on a generalized diffusion equation whose diffusion constant depends on the image gradients. The numerical solution of the diffusion equation provides an efficient reduction of pattern…

Numerical methods for atomic quantum gases with applications to Bose-Einstein condensates and to ultracold fermions

The achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation in ultra-cold vapours of alkali atoms has given enormous impulse to the study of dilute atomic gases in condensed quantum states inside magnetic traps and optical lattices. High-purity and easy optical access make them ideal candidates to investigate…

Solving the Fokker-Planck kinetic equation on a lattice

We propose a discrete lattice version of the Fokker-Planck kinetic equation in close analogy with the lattice-Boltzmann scheme. Our work extends an earlier one-dimensional formulation to arbitrary spatial dimension D. A generalized Hermite-Gauss procedure is used to construct a discretized kinetic…

Concentration inequalities for stochastic differential equations of pure non-Poissonian jumps

We provide concentration inequalities for solutions to stochastic differential equations of pure not-necessarily Poissonian jumps. Our proofs are based on transportation cost inequalities for square integrable functionals of point processes with stochastic intensity and elements of stochastic…
