Lattice Boltzmann approach for complex nonequilibrium flows (vol 92, 043308, 2015)

We present a lattice Boltzmann realization of Grad's extended hydrodynamic approach to nonequilibrium flows. This is achieved by using higher-order isotropic lattices coupled with a higher-order regularization procedure. The method is assessed for flow across parallel plates and three-dimensional…

Global dynamics of difference equations for SIR epidemic models with a class of nonlinear incidence rates

An higher integrability result for the second derivatives of the solutions to a class of elliptic PDE's

In this paper we establish an higher integrability result for second derivatives of the local solution of elliptic equation div(A(x,Du))=0in?where ? ? R, n>= 2 and A(x, ?) has linear growth with respect to ? variable. Concerning the dependence on the x-variable, we shall assume that, for the map…

Numerical validation of the conjecture of a subglacial lake at Amundsenisen, Svalbard

The likelihood of a subglacial lake beneath Amundsenisen Plateau at Southern Spitzbergen, Svalbard, pointed out by the flat signal within the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) remote survey of the area, is justified, here, via numerical simulation.This investigation has been developed under the…

Planar quasilinear elliptic equations with right-hand side in L(log L)^\delta

For G open bounded subset of R^2 with C^1 boundary, we study the regularity of the variational solution u in H^1_0(G) to the quasilinear elliptic equation of Leray-Lions type: -div A(x,Du)=f , when f belongs to the Zygmund space L(log L)^{\delta}, \delta>0. As an interpolation between known…

Solving nonlinear systems of equations via spectral residual methods: stepsize selection and applications

Spectral residual methods are derivative-free and low-cost per iteration procedures for solving nonlinear systems of equations. They are generally coupled with a nonmonotone linesearch strategy and compare well with Newton-based methods for large nonlinear systems and sequences of nonlinear systems…

Lattice Boltzmann study of reactive microflows

COEXISTENCE FOR MULTIPLE LARGEST REPRODUCTION RATIOS OF A MULTI-STRAIN SIS EPIDEMIC MODEL

In this paper, to complete the global dynamics of a multi-strains SIS epidemic model, we establish a precise result on coexistence for the cases of the partial and complete duplicated multiple largest reproduction ratios for this model.

Measuring alterations in oscillatory brain networks in Schizophrenia with resting-state MEG: State-of-the-art and methodological challenges

Objective: Neuroimaging studies provide evidence of disturbed resting-state brain networks in Schizophrenia (SZ). However, untangling the neuronal mechanisms that subserve these baseline alterations requires measurement of their electrophysiological underpinnings. This systematic review…

A non-local semilinear eigenvalue problem

We prove that positive solutions of the fractional Lane-Emden equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions satisfy pointwise estimates in terms of the best constant in Poincaré's inequality on all open sets, and are isolated in $L^1$ on smooth bounded ones, whence we deduce the isolation…
