Propagation of fronts in a nonlinear fourth order equation

We consider a geometric motion associated with the minimization of a curvature dependent functional, which is related to the Willmore functional. Such a functional arises in connection with the image segmentation problem in computer vision theory. We show by using formal asymptotics that the…

Classification of stable time-optimal controls on 2-manifolds

Nonuniqueness of solutions for a class of forward-backward parabolic equations

We study the initial-boundary value problem (Formula presented.) with measure-valued initial data. Here ? is a bounded open interval, ?(0)=?(?)=0, ? is increasing in (0,?) and decreasing in (?,?), and the regularising term ? is increasing but bounded. It is natural to study measure-valued solutions…

The global error of Magnus methods based on the Cayley map for some oscillatory problems

Network interdiction via a Critical Disruption Path: Branch-and-Price algorithms

This paper presents an innovative approach to maximally disconnect a given network. More specifically, this work introduces the concept of a Critical Disruption Path, a path between a source and a destination vertex whose deletion minimizes the cardinality of the largest remaining connected…

A quantitative comparison of stochastic mortality models on Italian population data

Mortality models play a basic role in the evaluation of longevity risk by demographers and actuaries. Their performance strongly depends on the different patterns shown by mortality data in different countries. A comprehensive quantitative comparison of the most used methods for forecasting…

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

Normalized compression distance to measure cortico-muscular synchronization

The neuronal functional connectivity is a complex and non-stationary phenomenon creating dynamic networks synchronization determining the brain states and needed to produce tasks. Here, as a measure that quantifies the synchronization between the neuronal electrical activity of two brain regions,…
