Zero-stiffness structures

Abstract: The talk will provide a compendium of ’zero-stiffness’ structures, describing three classes of structures that remain in a neutral state of equilibrium, even while they undergo large (an...

Approximate half-Riemann solvers for coupled hyperbolic PDEs

Modelling of gas networks, fluid-structure systems and multi-phase flows requires development of coupling techniques. Recent works on coupling of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws based on solvi...

Moto per curvatura a volume costante e disuguaglianze isoperimetriche

Il moto per curvatura media a volume costante è l'evoluzione di una ipersuperficie con velocità data dalla curvatura media, con un termine aggiuntivo non locale tale che il volume racchiuso resti cost...

La nascita della Meccanica Quantistica negli articoli di Heisenberg (1925) e di Schroedinger (1926)

La Meccanica Quantistica si afferma negli anni 1925/26 grazie soprattutto ai lavori di Heisenberg e di Schroedinger. Nel seminario, dopo una breve premessa sul contesto storico, si discuteranno le ide...

Kähler metrics and B-fields

Motivated by constructions appearing in mirror symmetry, we consider the problem of finding canonical representatives for a complexified Kähler class on a compact complex manifold. These are complex c...

An asymptotic preserving all-Mach scheme for compressible multiphase flow

In this work, we propose a well-balanced Implicit-Explicit Runge-Kutta scheme for the efficient simulation of the Baer-Nunziato model at all-Mach regimes. The numerical method is based on the explicit...

Modeling an example of green transition

Abstract: The work presented is part of a collaboration between mathematicians and philosophers of ethics, politics, and society aiming to understand mechanisms of green energy transition where some k...

Some rigidity results for Sobolev inequalities and related PDEs on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds

n this talk we present some results obtained jointly with Matteo Muratori (Politecnico di Milano), focusing on qualitative properties for • Extremals for the Sobolev inequality, • Positive radial solu...

Artificial Intelligence from a Mathematical Physics perspective

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence is nowadays an ubiquitous concept, with a remarkable impact in every field of science and technology. Despite this, a clear understanding of information processi...

Error estimates for the Godunov method applied to compressible Euler equations

We present our recent result on the error analysis of the finite volume Godunov method when applied to multidimensional Euler equations of gas dynamics. The main tool is to use a problem-related metri...
