Numerical Evidence of Sinai Diffusion of Random-Mass Dirac Particles

We present quantum Lattice Boltzmann simulations of the Dirac equation for quantum-relativistic particles with random mass. By choosing zero-average random mass fluctuation, the simulations show evidence of localization and ultra-slow Sinai diffusion, due to the interference of oppositely…

A generalized mean-field game model for the dynamics of pedestrians with limited predictive abilities

This paper investigates the model for pedestrian flow firstly proposed in [Cristiani, Priuli, and Tosin, SIAM J. Appl. Math., 75:605-629, 2015]. The model assumes that each individual in the crowd moves in a known domain, aiming at minimizing a given cost functional. Both the pedestrian dynamics…

Monitoring Strategies of Earth Dams by Ground-Based Radar Interferometry: How to Extract Useful Information for Seismic Risk Assessment

The aim of this paper is to describe how ground-based radar interferometry can provide displacement measurements of earth dam surfaces and of vibration frequencies of its main concrete infrastructures. In many cases, dams were built many decades ago and, at that time, were not equipped with in situ…

Polynomial functors and opetopes

We give an elementary and direct combinatorial definition of opetopes in terms of trees, well-suited for graphical manipulation and explicit computation. To relate our definition to the classical definition, we recast the Baez-Dolan slice construction for operads in terms of polynomial monads: our…

Mesoscopic model for soft flowing systems with tunable viscosity ratio

We propose a mesoscopic model of binary fluid mixtures with tunable viscosity ratio based on a two-range pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann method, for the simulation of soft flowing systems. In addition to the short-range repulsive interaction between species in the classical single-range model, a…

Lattice propagators and Haldane-Wu fractional statistics

We point out a formal analogy between lattice kinetic propagators and Haldane-Wu fractional statistics. The analogy could be used to compute the partition function of fractional quantum systems by solving a corresponding lattice kinetic equation for classical dissipative flowing syst erns.…
