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…

A game-theoretic multi-stakeholder model for cost allocation in urban consolidation centres

Recently, many European local authorities have set up Urban Consolidation Centres (UCC) for dealing with challenges arising from the environmental and social impacts of logistical activities in urban contexts through shipment synchronisation and carrier coordination policies. However, the number of…

Numerical solution of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation using smoothed-particle hydrodynamics

We formulate a smoothed-particle hydrodynamics numerical method, traditionally used for the Euler equations for fluid dynamics in the context of astrophysical simulations, to solve the nonlinear Schrodinger equation in the Madelung formulation. The probability density of the wave function is…

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.

Model selection for inferring Gaussian graphical models

In this article, we deal with the model selection problem for estimating a Gaussian Graphical Model (GGM) by regression based techniques. In fact, although regression based techniques are well understood and have good theoretical properties, it is still not clear which criterion is more appropriate…

The hierarchical organization of natural protein interaction networks confers self-organization properties on pseudocells.

Background Cell organization is governed and maintained via specific interactions among its constituent macromolecules. Comparison of the experimentally determined protein interaction networks in different model organisms has revealed little conservation of the specific edges linking ortholog…

Il questo lavoro viene presentato un algoritmo euristico basato su ricerca locale per graph coloring.

The Cayley method and the inverse eigenvalue problem for Toeplitz matrices

The numerical construction of a symmetric Toeplitz matrix having prescribed eigenvalues is faced by a two-step method using the continuation idea. The Cayley transform is exploited in order to integrate flows in the linear subspace of skew-symmetric and centro-symmetric matrices.
