Static large deviations for a reaction-diffusion model

We consider the superposition of a symmetric simple exclusion dynamics, speeded-up in time, with a spin-flip dynamics in a one-dimensional interval with periodic boundary conditions. We prove the larg...

Space-time Trefftz methods for the scalar wave equation

n this talk we investigate the use of Trefftz methods for the numerical discretization of wave propagation problems in the time-domain. Trefftz methods instead of usual local polynomial approximation ...

A few steps in artificial intelligence

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has by now become pervasive in our every day life. In this seminar I will provide a very basic introduction to AI, reviewing the underlying ideas and the main mo...

Scudo magnetico per l'equazione di Vlasov-Poisson

Abstract: Riferirò su una ricerca che sto svolgendo con Silvia Caprino (Roma2) e Guido Cavallaro (questo dipartimento). Studiamo un modello matematico di protezione di una navicella spaziale da un ven...

How it happened (to me) to meet ?

The function ? was defined by Minkowski with the purpose of mapping quadratic irrationals bijectively onto the rationals of (0,1) (in addition, it maps the rationals onto the dyadic rationals). It has...

Superfluidity and geometry of Bloch bands

Abstract: Band structure theory and the BCS theory of superconductivity are two cornerstones of modern condensed matter physics. They have been used to explain many properties of crystalline solids an...

Alcuni risultati recenti sui metodi numerici di programmazione dinamica per sistemi ibridi

Negli ultimi vent'anni, il concetto di sistema ibrido ha fornito un solido quadro teorico per unificare una vasta classe di sistemi di controllo, in cui accanto alle azioni di controllo usuali, si uti...

Recurrence properties for random walks on a two-dimensional random graph.

Recurrcnce properties for random walks on a two-dimensional random graph. In [1] a random walk on a bi-dimensional random graph was studied. This model had been previously introduced in the physical l...

POD-Based Multicriterial Optimal Control by the Reference Point Method

In the talk bicriterial optimal control problem governed by a parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) and bilateral control constraints is considered. For the numerical optimization the referenc...
