Sharp Sobolev type embeddings on the entire euclidean space

A comprehensive approach to Sobolev-type embeddings, involving arbitrary rearrangement-invariant norms on the entire Euclidean space R^n, is offered. In particular, the optimal target space in any such embedding is exhibited. Crucial in our analysis is a new reduction principle for the relevant…

Nonlinear wave resistance of a two-dimensional pressure patch moving on a free surface

A model problem of the flow under an air-cushion vessel is studied. Two different numerical techniques are used to determine the solution of the free-surface elevation and the wave resistance for a range of Froude number, Reynolds number, value of the pressure applied in the cushion, and depth of…

On quadrature for Cauchy principal value integrals of oscillatory functions

The authors develop an algorithm for the numerical evaluation of Cauchy principal value integrals of oscillatory functions. The method is based on an interpolatory procedure at the zeros of the orthogonal polynomials with respect to a Jacobi weight. A numerically stable procedure is obtained and…

TOM: a web-based integrated approach for identification of candidate disease genes

The massive production of biological data by means of highly parallel devices like microarrays for gene expression has paved the way to new possible approaches in molecular genetics. Among them the possibility of inferring biological answers by querying large amounts of expression data. Based on…

Detecting longitudinal damages in the internal coating of a tube

Longitudinal defects of the internal coated surface of a metal pipe can be evaluated in a fast, precise and cheap way from thermal measurements on the external surface. In this paper, we study two classes of real situations in which the thickness of the coating is much smaller than the thickness of…

On the solvability of the equation $divu=f$ in $L^1$ and in $C^0$

General over-relaxation Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms for Gaussian densities

We study general over-relaxation Markov Chain Monte Carlo samplers for multivariate Gaussian densities. We provide conditions for convergence based on the spectral radius of the transition matrix and on detailed balance. We illustrate these algorithms using an image analysis example.

SOC-reactivity analysis for a newly defined class of two-dimensional soil organic carbon dynamics

To evaluate changes in the Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) index, one of the key indicators of land degradation neutrality, soil carbon modeling is of primary importance. In litera-ture, the analysis has been focused on the stability characterization of soil carbon steady states and in the calculation of…

Enhanced settling of nonheavy inertial particles in homogeneous isotropic turbulence: The role of the pressure gradient and the Basset history force

The Stokes drag force and the gravity force are usually sufficient to describe the behavior of sub-Kolmogorovsize (or pointlike) heavy particles in turbulence, in particular when the particle-to-fluid density ratio rho(p)/rho(integral) greater than or similar to 10(3) (with rho(p) and rho(f) the…
