Abstract: The classical (that is, geometric) model of capillarity accounts for many of the equilibrium shapes we commonly observe in liquid drops. In fact, even more complicated phenomena such as supe...
Abstract: As we learnt from Young and Laplace, the cohesion of fluids makes them choose specific shapes, in particular spheres at a small scale. We discuss several ways to maintain this ideal shape on...
Abstract: Wetting phenomena at "small" scales (a water drop on a glass, the precorneal tear-film) may be described by quite a few different mathematical models: diffuse interface ones, sharp ones such...
Plate kinematics represents the first evidence of plate tectonic processes and the basics of plate dynamic models. The kinematics of plates is defined by Euler pole and angular velocity, and the main ...
Abstract: Precise measurements of ground deformation have become increasingly common as large networks of GPS receivers and borehole strainmeters have been established over the last decade. Complement...
Abstract: Language dynamics is an emerging field that focuses on all processes related to the emergence, evolution and extinction of languages. Recently the study of the self-organization and evolutio...
Estendiamo alcune disuguaglianze classiche (ad esempio le diseguaglianze di Hardy-Littlewood e Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg) al caso in cui le variabili angolari e radiali hanno differente integrabilità....
We will present a relatively new approach to differential inclusion theory that is "parametrization-free". That is, results in control theory will be described under assumptions on the Hamiltonian (an...
Photometric stereo is a 3D-reconstruction technique which uses n images of a scene taken under different lightings. The case n=1 is the well-known shape-from-shading problem, which is ill-posed. Since...
In a pursuit-evasion game, each pursuer attempts to minimize the distance between the pursuer (P) and the evader (E) and capture it in the shortest time, whereas the evader tries to maximize the dista...
We present and analyze a numerical approximation of the two-dimensional Dirichlet problem for the game p-Laplacian based on a semi-Lagrangian scheme. We start from recalling the definition of game p-L...
Policy iteration is a well-known alternative to algorithms based on value function iterations for the solution of optimal control problems and differential games. In this talk we present a scheme for ...
