Computing a Lower Bound of the smallest Eigenvalue of a Symmetric Positive Definite Toeplitz Matrix

JETSPIN: A specific-purpose open-source software for simulations of nanofiber electrospinning

We present the open-source computer program JETSPIN, specifically designed to simulate the electro-spinning process of nanofibers. Its capabilities are shown with proper reference to the underlying model, as well as a description of the relevant input variables and associated test-case simulations…

An Alternate Proof of a Result of Johnstone and Silverman concern¬ing wavelet threshold estimators for data with correlated noise

Radiative contributions to gravitational scattering

The linear-order effects of radiation-reaction on the classical scattering of two point masses, in general relativity, are derived by a variation-of-constants method. Explicit expressions for the radiation-reaction contributions to the changes of 4-momentum during scattering are given to linear…

Time Optimal Swing-Up of the Planar Pendulum

Notes on RKDG methods for shallow-water equations in canal networks

PDE models for network flows are used in a number of different applications, including modeling of water channel networks. While the theory and first-order numerics are well developed, there is a lack of high-order schemes. We propose a Runge-Kutta discontinu- ous Galerkin method as an efficient,…

A WELL-BALANCED NUMERICAL SCHEME FOR A ONE DIMENSIONAL QUASILINEAR HYPERBOLIC MODEL OF CHEMOTAXIS

We introduce a numerical scheme to approximate a quasilinear hyperbolic system which models the movement of cells under the influence of chemotaxis. Since we expect to find solutions which contain vacuum parts, we propose an upwinding scheme which properly handles the presence of vacuum and which…

Gamma-Convergence of the Heitmann-Radin Sticky Disc Energy to the Crystalline Perimeter

We consider low-energy configurations for the Heitmann-Radin sticky discs functional, in the limit of diverging number of discs. More precisely, we renormalize the Heitmann-Radin potential by subtracting the minimal energy per particle, i.e. the so-called kissing number. For configurations whose…

PELCR: Parallel environment for optimal lambda-calculus reduction

: In this article we present the implementation of an environment supporting Levy's optimal reduction for the X-calculus on parallel (or distributed) computing systems. In a similar approach to Lamping's, we base our work on a graph reduction technique, known as directed virtual reduction, which is…

Coupling of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics with Finite Volume method for free-surface flows

A new algorithm for the solution of free surface flows with large front deformation and fragmentation is presented. The algorithm is obtained by coupling a classical Finite Volume (FV) approach, that discretizes the Navier-Stokes equations on a block structured Eulerian grid, with an approach based…
