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…

Understanding human diseases with high-throughput quantitative measurement and analysis of molecular signatures

Microarray and deep sequencing technologies have provided unprecedented opportunities for mapping genome mutations, RNA transcripts, transcription factor binding, and histone modifications at high resolution at the genome-wide level. This has revolutionized the way in which transcriptomes,…

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…

LBsoft: A parallel open-source software for simulation of colloidal systems

We present LBsoft, an open-source software developed mainly to simulate the hydro-dynamics of colloidal systems based on the concurrent coupling between lattice Boltzmann methods for the fluid and discrete particle dynamics for the colloids. Such coupling has been developed before, but, to the best…

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…

A Preliminary Investigation of a Single Shock Impact on Italian Mortality Rates Using STMF Data: A Case Study of COVID-19

Mortality shocks, such as pandemics, threaten the consolidated longevity improvements, confirmed in the last decades for the majority of western countries. Indeed, just before the COVID-19 pandemic, mortality was falling for all ages, with a different behavior according to different ages and…

Multi-GPU codes for spin systems simulations

Uniform approximation on the sphere by least squares polynomials

The paper concerns the uniform polynomial approximation of a function f, continuous on the unit Euclidean sphere of $R^3$ and known only at a finite number of points that are somehow uniformly distributed on the sphere. First, we focus on least squares polynomial approximation and prove that the…

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…

Bootstrap percolation on the stochastic block model

We analyze the bootstrap percolation process on the stochastic block model (SBM), a natural extension of the Erd?s-Rényi random graph that incorporates the community structure observed in many real systems. In the SBM, nodes are partitioned into two subsets, which represent different communities,…
