Un modello matematico per le sfere cellulari cardiache (Cardiosfere)

       Abstract:Le cardiosfere sono state descritte per la prima volta da Messina et al. nel 2004, e rappresentano una sorta di microtessuto, di nicchia cellulare di...

On the numerical validation of the conjecture of a subglacial lake at the Svalbard archipelago

In this talk I shall discuss the conjecture of the existence of a subglacial lake at Svalbard: why it was raised, in which physical environment, why it is worth to be investigated. With the aim to pro...

Fast and oblivious algorithms for dissipative and 2D wave equations

The use of time-domain boundary integral equations has proved very ef fective and effcient for three dimensional acoustic and electromagnetic wave equations. In even dimensions and when some dissipati...

On quantifying dependence between random elements

In the introduction some relatively recent results on the maximum correlation coefficient will be presented in two setups. The first deals with partial sums of independent identically distributed rand...

Comparison principles for admissible viscosity solutions of elliptic branches of fully nonlinear PDE

We will describe a recent approach to treating the validity of comparison principles for weak solutions of scalar second order PDE of the form F(x,u(x),Hu(x)) = 0 under non standard structural conditi...

Problemi di estensione per operatori frazionari e applicazioni

Seguendo la strategia impiegata da L. Caffarelli e L. Silvestre, la definizione di operatore non locale è data per mezzo della soluzione di una opportuna equazione a derivate parziali definita su un d...

The Wishart distribution which never was

Replacing the integer parameter in the family of chi square distributions by a continuous parameter leads to the family of the gamma distributions. A similar phenomena occurs with the non central chi ...

Ricostruzione Tridimensionale di Volti Umani da Immagini con lo Stereo Fotometrico

Recenti sviluppi negli algoritmi di riconoscimento e segmentazione di volti umani impressi in immagini forniscono una struttura flessibile per l’applicazione di numerosi metodi di ricostruzione tridim...

An iterated projection approach for b-convexity constraints

I will present a numerical method for variational problems under b-convexity constraints, which generalize convexity constraints and are motivated by the principal-agent problem in economics. Convexit...

Unicellular swimmers: from mathematical modelling to biology and robotics

Abstract: Euglenids are unicellular aquatic organisms capable of moving either by beating a flagellum or by executing dramatic shape changes. These are accomplished thanks to a complex structure under...

The semi-Lagrangian method using oblic interpolation

We develop a semi-Lagrangian scheme adapted to the case where the solution present low oscillations in some fixed direction. The method is analyzed for the 2D constant advection and applied to the num...

The singular Nirenberg problem

I will consider the problem of prescribing the Gaussian curvature (under pointwise conformal change of the metric) on surfaces with conical singularities. This question has been first raised by Troyan...
