A mathematical model for SO2 aggression to calcium carbonate stones numerical approximation and asymptotic analysis

We introduce a degenerate nonlinear parabolic system that describes the chemical aggression of calcium carbonate stones under the attack of sulphur dioxide. For this system, we present some finite element and finite difference schemes to approximate its solutions. Numerical stability is given under…

Cross-Diffusion-Driven Instability in a Predator-Prey System with Fear and Group Defense

In this paper, a reaction-diffusion prey-predator system including the fear effect of predator on prey population and group defense has been considered. The conditions for the onset of cross-diffusion-driven instability are obtained by linear stability analysis. The…

Anomalous and dimensional scaling in anisotropic turbulence

We present a numerical study of anisotropic statistical fluctuations in homogeneous turbulent flows. We give an argument to predict the dimensional scaling exponents, (p+j)/3, for the projections of p-th order structure function in the j-th sector of the rotational group. We show that measured…

Analytical calculation of slip flow in lattice Boltzmann models with kinetic boundary conditions

We present a mathematical formulation of kinetic boundary conditions for lattice Boltzmann schemes in terms of reflection, slip, and accommodation coefficients. It is analytically and numerically shown that, in the presence of a nonzero slip coefficient, the lattice Boltzmann develops a physical…

Approximation of Finite Hilbert and Hadamard Transforms by Using Equally Spaced Nodes

In the present paper, we propose a numerical method for the simultaneous approximation of the finite Hilbert and Hadamard transforms of a given function f, supposing to know only the samples of f at equidistant points. As reference interval we consider [-1,1] and as approximation tool we use…

Fast Segmentation and Modelling of Range Data via Steerable Pyramid and Superquadrics

Lagrangian statistics in fully developed turbulence

The statistics of Lagrangian particles transported by a three-dimensional fully developed turbulent flow is investigated by means of high-resolution direct numerical simulations. The analysis of single trajectories reveals the existence of strong trapping events vortices at the Kolmogorov scale…

Fractional Orlicz-Sobolev embeddings

The optimal Orlicz target space is exhibited for embeddings of fractional-order Orlicz-Sobolev spaces in $R^n$. An improved embedding with an Orlicz-Lorentz target space, which is optimal in the broader class of all rearrangement-invariant spaces, is also established. Both spaces of order s in (0,…

Stability analysis of delayed SIR epidemic models with a class of nonlinear incidence rates

We analyze stability of equilibria for a delayed SIR epidemic model, in which population growth is subject to logistic growth in absence of disease, with a nonlinear incidence rate satisfying suitable monotonicity conditions. The model admits a unique endemic equilibrium if and only if the basic…

A Generalized Model for Scratch Detection

This paper presents a generalization of Kokaram's model for scratch lines detection on digital film materials. It is based on the assumption that scratch is not purely additive on a given image but shows also a destroying effect. This result allows us to design a more efficacious scratch detector…
