    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 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 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 mathematical analysis of the motion of an in-flight soccer ball 

    Myers, T.G.; Mitchell, S.L. (2014-01-01)

    In this paper an analytical and numerical study of the three-dimensional equations describing the motion through the air of a spinning ball is presented. The initial analysis involves constant drag coefficients but is later ...

    A NOTE ON QUASICONFORMAL MAPS WITH H"OLDER-CONTINUOUS DILATATION 

    GILL, JAMES T.; ROHDE, STEFFEN (2013-01-01)

    Recently J. Mateu, J. Orobitg, and J. Verdera showed that a Hölder continuous complex dilatation supported on smooth domains is a sufficient condition for the resulting quasiconformal map to be bi-Lipschitz. Their proof ...

    A Novel Methodology to Estimate Metabolic Flux Distributions in Constraint-Based Models 

    Massucci, F.A.; Font-Clos, F.; De Martino, A.; Castillo, I.P. (2013-01-01)

    Quite generally, constraint-based metabolic flux analysis describes the space of viable flux configurations for a metabolic network as a high-dimensional polytope defined by the linear constraints that enforce the balancing ...

    A one-dimensional map for the circadian modulation of sleep in a human sleep-wake regulatory network model 

    Booth, V.; Xique, I.; Diniz Behn, C.G. (2016-01-01)

    The timing of human sleep is strongly modulated by the 24 h circadian rhythm, and desynchronization of sleep-wake cycles from the circadian rhythm can negatively impact health. To investigate the dynamics of circadian ...

    A public-key cryptosystem based on second order linear sequences 

    El Fadil, L. (2008-01)

    Based on Lucas functions, an improved version of the Diffie-Hellman distribution key scheme and to the ElGamal public key cryptosystem scheme are proposed, together with an implementation and computational cost. The security ...

    A scaling law beyond Zipf'\''s law and its relation with Heaps'\'' law 

    Font-Clos, F.; Boleda, G.; Corral, A. (2014-01-01)

    The dependence with text length of the statistical properties of word occurrences has long been considered a severe limitation {for the usefulness of} quantitative linguistics. We propose a simple scaling form for the ...

    Adaptive behaviour in a predator-prey model leads to multiple equilibrium states 

    Pimenov, A.; Korobeinikov, A.; Rachinskii, D. (2014-01-01)

    There is evidence that multiple stable equilibrium states are possible in real-life ecological systems. In order to verify a hypothesis that such a multitude of equilibrium states can be caused by adapting of animal behaviour ...
