Comparison of SAR amplitude vs. coherence flood detection methods - A GIS application

Flood area detection from multipass Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data can be performed via amplitude change detection techniques. These methods allow flooded zones to be discriminated only when they are flooded at the time of the second passage, and not at the time of the first one. Coherence…

Technical note: Functional sliced inverse regression to infer temperature, water vapour and ozone from IASI data

A retrieval algorithm that uses a statistical strategy based on dimension reduction is proposed. The ethodology and details of the implementation of the new algorithm are presented and discussed. The algorithm has been applied to high resolution spectra measured by the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding…

Computational corroboration of the flow of rock glaciers against borehole measurements

In this study, we computationally corroborate the flow of rock glaciers against borehole measurements, within the context of a model previously developed (2020). The model is, here, tested against the simulation of the sliding motion of the Murtel-Corvatsch alpine glacier, which is characterized in…

From coherent to incoherent dynamical behaviour of quantum atomic gases in periodic potentials

The Stein and Chen-Stein methods for functionals of non-symmetric Bernoulli processes

Based on a new multiplication formula for discrete multiple stochastic integrals with respect to non-symmetric Bernoulli random walks, we extend the results of Nourdin et al. (2010) on the Gaussian approximation of symmetric Rademacher sequences to the setting of possibly non-identically…

Modeling crowd dynamics from a complex system viewpoint

This paper aims at indicating research perspectives on the mathematical modeling of crowd dynamics, pointing on the one hand to insights into the complexity features of pedestrian flows and on the other hand to a critical overview of the most popular modeling approaches currently adopted in the…

A game-theoretic multi-stakeholder model for cost allocation in urban consolidation centres

Recently, many European local authorities have set up Urban Consolidation Centres (UCC) for dealing with challenges arising from the environmental and social impacts of logistical activities in urban contexts through shipment synchronisation and carrier coordination policies. However, the number of…

Orthogonal rational functions and structured matrices

The linear space of all proper rational functions with prescribed poles is considered. Given a set of points in the complex plane and the weights, we define the discrete inner product. In this paper we derive a method to compute the coefficients of a recurrence relation generating a set of…

Numerical solution of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation using smoothed-particle hydrodynamics

We formulate a smoothed-particle hydrodynamics numerical method, traditionally used for the Euler equations for fluid dynamics in the context of astrophysical simulations, to solve the nonlinear Schrodinger equation in the Madelung formulation. The probability density of the wave function is…

The emergence of supramolecular forces from lattice kinetic models of non ideal fluids: applications to the rheology of soft glassy materials
