    Perfahl, H.; Hughes, B.D.; Alarcon, T.; Maini, P.K.; Lloyd, M.C.; Reuss, M.; Byrne, H. (2017-01-01)

    We develop an off-lattice, agent-based model to describe vasculogenesis, the de novo formation of blood vessels from endothelial progenitor cells during development. The endothelial cells that comprise our vessel network ...

    A b-symplectic slice theorem 

    Braddell, R.; Kiesenhofer, A.; Miranda, E. (2022-08-03)

    In this article, motivated by the study of symplectic structures on manifolds with boundary and the systematic study of b -symplectic manifolds started in Guillemin, Miranda, and Pires Adv. Math. 264 (2014), 864–896, we ...

    A bivariant theory for the Cuntz semigroup 

    Bosa, J.; Tornetta, G.; Zacharias, J. (2019-01-01)

    We introduce a bivariant version of the Cuntz semigroup as equivalence classes of order zero maps generalizing the ordinary Cuntz semigroup. The theory has many features formally analogous to KK-theory including a composition ...

    A black swan and canard cascades in an SIR infectious disease model 

    Korobeinikov, A.; Shchepakina, E.; Sobolev, V. (2020-01-01)

    Models of the spread of infectious diseases commonly have to deal with the problem of multiple timescales which naturally occur in the epidemic models. In the most cases, this problem is implicitly avoided with the use of ...

    A block solver for the exponentally fitted IIPG-0 method 

    Ayuso, B.; Lombardi, Ariel; Pietra, Paola; Zikatanov, Ludmil (2011)

    We consider an exponentially fitted discontinuous Galerkin method for advection dominated problems and propose a block solver for the resulting linear systems. In the case of strong advection the solver is robust with ...

    A BLOCK SOLVER FOR THE EXPONENTIALLY FITTED IIPG-0 METHOD 

    Ayuso de Dios, A.; Lombardi, P; Pietra, P.; Zikatanov, L (2011-01-01)

    Galerkin \linebreak method for advection dominated problems and propose a block solver for the resulting linear systems. In the case of strong advection the solver is robust with respect to the advection direction and the ...

    A characterization of 1-rectifiable doubling measures with connected supports 

    Azzam, J.; Mourgoglou, M. (2016-01-01)

    Garnett, Killip, and Schul have exhibited a doubling measure μ with support equal to Rd that is 1- rectifiable, meaning there are countably many curves Γi of finite length for which μ(Rd\υΓi) = 0. In this note, we characterize ...

    A class of stochastic games with infinitely many interacting agents related to Glauber dynamics on random graphs 

    Marinelli, Carlo; De Santis, Emilio (2007-09)

    We introduce and study a class of infinite-horizon nonzero-sum non-cooperative stochastic games with infinitely many interacting agents using ideas of statistical mechanics. First we show, in the general case of asymmetric ...

    A COMBINED PRECONDITIONING STRATEGY FOR NONSYMMETRIC SYSTEMS 

    Ayuso de Dios, B.; Barker, A.T.; Vassilevski, P.S. (2012-01-01)

    We present and analyze a class of nonsymmetric preconditioners within a normal (weighted least-squares) matrix form for use in GMRES to solve nonsymmetric matrix problems that typically arise in finite element discretizations. ...

    A complex view of perceived job insecurity: Relationship between three domains and their respective cognitive and affective components 

    Salas-Nicás, S.; Moncada, S.; Llorens, C.; Moriña, D.; Navarro, A. (2020-05-11)

    he aim of this paper is to examine the relationships between three domains of job insecurity, namely job loss insecurity, insecurity regarding working conditions and labor market insecurity, taking into account both their ...

    A continuous phenotype space model of cancer evolution 

    Masip, D.; Korobeinikiov, A. (2017-01-01)

    It was suggested that the ability of cancer to avoid immune response pressure (that should be expected to be capable to annihilate cancer at its early stage) can be attributed to the ability of the cancer cells to evolve. ...

    A continuous phenotype space model of RNA virus evolution within a host 

    Dempsey, C.; Korobeinikov, A. (2014-01-01)

    Due to their very high replication and mutation rates, RNA viruses can serve as an excellent testing model for verifying hypothesis and addressing questions in evolutionary biology. In this paper, we suggest a simple ...

    A counterexample to the singular Weinstein conjecture 

    Fontana-McNally, J.; Miranda, E.; Oms, C.; Peralta-Salas, D. (2024-12-01)

    In this article, we study the dynamical properties of Reeb vector fields on b- contact manifolds. We show that in dimension 3, the number of so-called singular periodic orbits can be prescribed. These constructions illuminate ...

    A criterion for the holomorphy of the curvature of smooth planar webs and applications to dual webs of homogeneous foliations on PC2 

    Bedrouni, S.; Marin, D. (2024-09-01)

    Let d >= 3 be an integer. For a holomorphic d-web W on a complex surface M, smooth along an irreducible component D of its discriminant Delta(W), we establish an effective criterion for the holomorphy of the curvature of ...

    A dynamical study of Hilda asteroids in the Circular and Elliptic RTBP 

    Jorba, A.; Nicolás, B.; Rodríguez, O. (2024-12-03)

    The Hilda group is a set of asteroids whose mean motion is in a 3:2 orbital resonance with Jupiter. In this paper, we use the planar Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem (CRTBP) as a dynamical model and we show that there ...
