Dependent Vectors of Random Probability Measures

The definition of vectors of dependent random probability measures is a topic of interest in applications to Bayesian statistics. Indeed, they can be used for identifying the de Finetti mixing measure...

Metodi level set: applicazione alla cicatrizzazione dei tessuti cellulari e al controllo di fronti

I metodi level set, introdotti da Osher e Sethian nel 1988, sono delle tecniche per evolvere superfici in due o tre dimensioni ed hanno applicazioni in moltissimi campi, quali la fluidodinamica, il tr...

Quasistatic evolution models for thin plates in perfect plasticity

In this talk I shall discuss the rigorous derivation of a quasistatic evolution model for a thin plate in the framework of Prandtl-Reuss plasticity via Gamma-convergence techniques. The limiting model...

Nonlinear problems with natural growth on the gradient and lack of an a priori estimates

The starting point is a paper by L. Boccardo, F. Murat, J.P. Puel, where it is considered the zero Dirichlet boundary value problems associated to nonlinear elliptic equaltions with quadratic dependen...

Some remarks on the fully parabolic Keller-Segel system in the plane

We will describe recent results on the doubly parabolic Keller-Segel system in the plane, when the initial data belong to critical scaling-invariant Lebesgue spaces. We analyze the global existence of...

Equazioni differenziali pet il problema di Wilkinson

Sia A una matrice con tutti gli autovalori distinti. Un problema classico, noto come problema di Wilkinson, è quello di determinare la matrice B piu' vicina ad A, avente un autovalore multiplo difetti...

Metric regularity in optimal control

I will start with brief introduction to the concept of metric regularity and some applications for optimal control problems. Then we focus on linear control systems, where we introduce the notion of b...

Criteria for the Poincare-Hardy inequalities

This is a survey of old and new necessary and sufficient conditions for validity of various integral inequalities containing arbitrary weights (measures and distributions). These results have direct a...

Relative entropy methods and relaxation limits

We shall analyze relative entropy methods in connections with singular limits, both for the hyperbolic-to-hyperbolic and for the hyperbolic-to-parabolic relaxations. For the former case, we recall in ...

Error estimate for second order Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations with unbounded coefficients. Application to chance-constrained control problems

In this talk we shall present numerical approximations of unbounded value functions associated to some stochastic control problems. We derive new error estimates for monotone schemes based on Markov c...

Reachability analysis and general control problems

In this talk, we will review some known results on the link between reachability analysis and optimal control problems in the deterministic setting. We will show how this link can be used to get a con...

A comparison between different cycle decompositions for Metropolis dynamics

In the last decades the problem of metastability has been attacked on rigorous grounds via many different approaches and techniques which are briefly reviewed in this paper. It is then useful to under...
