On the limit as $s\to 0^+$ of fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces

An extended version of the Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova theorem on the limit as s -> 0+ of the Gagliardo-Slobodeckij fractional seminorm is established in the Orlicz space setting. Our result holds in fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces associated with Young functions satisfying the \Delta2-condition, and…

Dose reconstruction in irradiated Fricke-Agarose gels by means of MRI and optical techniques: 2d modelling of diffusion of ferric ions

Time-Evolving Measures and Macroscopic Modeling of Pedestrian Flow

This paper introduces a new model of pedestrian flow, formulated within a measure-theoretic framework. It consists of a macroscopic representation of the system via a family of measures which, pushed forward by some flow maps, provide an estimate of the space occupancy by pedestrians at successive…

Characterization of a vertical crack using Laser Spot Thermography

This paper deals with the solution of an inverse problem for the heat equation aimed at nondestructive evaluation of fractures, emerging on the accessible surface of a slab, by means of Active Thermography. In real life, this surface is heated with a laser and its temperature is measured for a time…

Test particle motion in a gravitational plane wave collision background

Test particle geodesic motion is analysed in detail for the background spacetimes of the degenerate Ferrari–Ibañez colliding gravitational wave solutions. Killing vectors have been used to reduce the equations of motion to a first-order system of differential equations which have been integrated…

Un approccio multiscala alla dinamica delle folle mediante misure che evolvono nel tempo

This paper deals with models of living complex systems, chiefly human crowds, by methods of conservation laws and measure theory. We introduce a modeling framework which enables one to address both discrete and continuous dynamical systems in a unified manner using common phenomenological ideas and…

The basic reproduction number for infection dynamics models and the global stability of stationary points

We consider a system of ordinary differential equations representing a large class of mathematical models concerning the dynamics of an infection in an organism or in a population and we show that the study of the linearized stability leads to some conditions on the basic reproduction number which…

Mechanistic Modeling and Multiscale Applications for Precision Medicine: Theory and Practice

Drug research, therapy development, and other areas of pharmacology and medicine can benefit from simula- tions and optimization of mathematical models that contain a mathematical description of interactions between systems elements at the cellular, tissue, organ, body, and population level. This…

A Scientifc Computing Environment for Differential Field Simulation

This paper deals with the development of a scientific computing environment for differential field simulation. We mean a modelling and simulation environment based on partial differential equations and their numerical solution as powerful and widely used technique for mathematical and computational…
