The game p-Laplacian, from numerical results to analytic hypotheses.

I will discuss how the numerical analysis of the game p-Laplacian, developed with Falcone, Finzi Vita and Giorgi has led to new insights into the behavior of that operator. Particular results obtained...

HERPES ZOSTER (Exogenous boosting, progressive immunity and the dilemma of mass varicella immunization)

CANCELLATOAbstract: Herpes zoster (HZ) is a painful disease caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus(VZV) as cell mediated  immunity (CMI) goes down (e.g. with ageing). Hope-Simps...

Simulazione di flussi con superficie libera mediante metodi Lagrangiani/Euleriani accoppiati

Il seminario presenterà la ricerca in corso circa la simulazione numerica di flussi viscosi con superficie libera, in presenza di elevata deformazione e frammentazione del fronte d’onda. Dopo una brev...

A nonvanishing result for the Helmholtz resolvent and applications

I will discuss a nonvanishing result for the Helmholtz resolvent operator in the spirit of Lions' first Lemma on concentration compactness. The result will be applied to prove the existence of standin...

Random evolution driven by Hamiltonian flows and Lax-Oleinik semigroup

Random evolution theory provides models for systems where the mode of evolution is modified according to random changes in the environment. It was initiated at the end of the sixties by Hersh, Griego,...

Convergence of the solutions of the discounted H-J equation

We consider a continuous coercive Hamiltonian on the cotangent bundle of the compact connected manifold M which is convex in the momentum. We prove that the viscosity solutions uλ:M→R of the critic...

The ultimate mystery is ourselves: the fascinating challenge of computational biology

Abstract: The computational analysis and interpretation of the wealth of biological data that is being produced every day is a cogent problem in the life sciences. The task can be mapped to an enginee...

Exact and optimal controllability for scalar conservation laws with discontinuous flux

This talk is concerned with an optimal control problem and the description of reachable set for scalar conservation laws with discon- tinuous flux in one space dimension. Regarding the optimal control...

Rottura di simmetria in un problema di isolamento termico

Considereremo il problema di massimizzare l'isolamento termico di un assegnato dominio Ω avendo a disposizione una massa assegnata di isolante da disporre lungo la sua frontiera. In particolare il co...
