CHECKCOL: Improved Local Search for Graph Coloring

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

The k-labeled Spanning Forest Problem

In the k-labeled Spanning Forest Problem (kLSF), given a graph G with a label (color) assigned to each edge, and an integer positive value kmax we look for the minimum number of connected components that can be obtained by using at most kmax different labels. The problem is strictly related to the…

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.

Handling obstacles in pedestrian simulations: Models and optimization

In this paper we are concerned with the simulation of crowds in built environments, where obstacles play a role in the dynamics and in the interactions among pedestrians. First of all, we review the state-of-the-art of the techniques for handling obstacles in numerical simulations. Then, we…

Characterization of the Shells in Layer-By-Layer Nanofunctionalized Particles: A Computational Study

Drug delivery carriers are considered an encouraging approach for the localized treatment of disease with minimum effect on the surrounding tissue. Particularly, layer-by-layer releasing particles have gained increasing interest for their ability to develop multifunctional systems able to control…

Stability of backward differentiation formulas for Volterra integro-differential equations.

A fluid dynamics multidimensional model of biofilm growth: stability, influence of environment and sensitivity

In this article, we study in detail the fluid dynamics system proposed in Clarelli et al. (2013, J. Math. Biol., 66, 1387-1408) to model the formation of cyanobacteria biofilms. After analysing the linear stability of the unique non-trivial equilibrium of the system, we introduce in the model the…

An affirmative answer to “Gopalsamy and Liu’s conjecture” on population models with multiple piecewise constant arguments

Human models of aging and longevity

Background: The aging phenotype in humans is very heterogeneous and can be described as a complex mosaic resulting from the interaction of a variety of environmental, stochastic and genetic-epigenetic variables. Therefore, each old person must be considered as a singleton, and consequently the…
