Ginzburg-Landau functionals for a general compact vacuum manifold on planar domains

ANNULLATO Ginzburg–Landau type functionals provide a relaxation scheme to construct harmonic maps in the presence of topological obstructions. They arise in superconductivity models, in liquid crystal...

Traveling waves for degenerate parabolic equations with negative diffusivities

ANNULLATO In the talk I present some recent results concerning the existence and regularity of traveling waves for degenerate parabolic equations, i.e., with possibly vanishing diffusivities. Also the...

Collective cell migration in biology and medicine

Abstract: Collective cell migration is a commonly recurring theme in biology and medicine, with examples in developmental biology, wound healing, and disease. For example, in solid tumours, new blood ...

Is Basketball Scoring Just a Random Walk?

Abstract: Watching basketball is nearly the same as watching repeating coin tossings! By analyzing recently available data from recent National Basketball Association (NBA) basketball seasons, basketb...

Evaluation of NOx emissions and ozone production due to vehicular traffic via second-order models

The aim of this talk is to introduce a method to estimate the production of ozone due to vehicular traffic. The traffic flow is modeled via the second-order Collapsed Generalized Aw-Rascle-Zhang model...
