A fluid dynamic model for T-Junctions ,

Initialization of the shooting method via the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman approach

Noise Removal from Remote Sensed Images by NonLocal Means with OpenCL Algorithm

We introduce a multi-platform portable implementation of the NonLocal Means methodology aimed at noise removal from remotely sensed images. It is particularly suited for hyperspectral sensors for which real-time applications are not possible with only CPU based algorithms. In the last decades…

An extended ant colony algorithm and its convergence analysis

We propose a stochastic algorithm for solving NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems and study its convergence

Fundamental diagrams for kinetic equations of traffic flow

In this paper we investigate the ability of some recently introduced discrete kinetic models of vehicular traffic to catch, in their large time behavior, typical features of theoretical fundamental diagrams. Specifically, we address the so-called "spatially homogeneous problem" and, in the…

Euler polynomials and the related quadrature rule

The use of Euler polynomials and Euler numbers allows us to construct a quadrature rule similar to the well-known Euler--MacLaurin quadrature formula, using Euler (instead of Bernoulli) numbers, and even (instead of odd) order derivatives of a given function evaluated at the extrema of the…

A new iteration for computing the eigenvalues of semiseparable (plus diagonal) matrices

Perturbative evaluation of the scalar two-point function in the cosmic microwave background power spectrum

Recent work in the literature has found a suppression or, instead, an enhancement of the cosmic microwave background power spectrum in quantum gravity, although the effect is too small to be observed in both cases. The present paper studies in detail the equations recently proposed for a Born-…

Characterizing networks of propaganda on twitter: a case study

The daily exposure of social media users to propaganda and disinformation campaigns has reinvigorated the need to investigate the local and global patterns of diffusion of different (mis)information content on social media. Echo chambers and influencers are often deemed responsible of both the…

Rupture of a ferrofluid droplet in external magnetic fields using a single-component lattice Boltzmann model for nonideal fluids
