Stability of a Kirchhoff-Roe scheme for two-dimensional linearized Euler systems

By applying Helmholtz decomposition, the unknowns of a linearized Euler system can be recast as solutions of uncoupled linearwave equations. Accordingly, the Kirchhoff expression of the exact solutions is recast as a time-marching, Lax-Wendroff type, numerical scheme for which consistency with one-…

Enhanced modularity-based community detection by random walk network preprocessing

The representation of real systems with network models is becoming increasingly common and critical to both capture and simplify systems' complexity, notably, via the partitioning of networks into communities. In this respect, the definition of modularity, a common and broadly used quality measure…

Effect of perturbation in the numerical solution of fractional differential equations

The equations describing engineering and real-life models are usually derived in an approximated way. Thus, in most cases it is necessary to deal with equations containing some kind of perturbation. In this paper we consider fractional dfferential equations and study the eects on the continuous and…

Combining network modeling and gene expression microarray analysis to explore the dynamics of Th1 and Th2 cell regulation

Two T helper (Th) cell subsets, namely Th1 and Th2 cells, play an important role in inflammatory diseases. The two subsets are thought to counter-regulate each other, and alterations in their balance result in different diseases. This paradigm has been challenged by recent clinical and experimental…

Automatic coarsening in Algebraic Multigrid utilizing quality measures for matching-based aggregations

In this paper, we discuss the convergence of an Algebraic MultiGrid (AMG) method for general symmetric positive-definite matrices. The method relies on an aggregation algorithm, named coarsening based on compatible weighted matching, which exploits the interplay between the principle of compatible…
