(2014-12-31)
We derive, via simultaneous homogenization and dimension reduction, the (Formula presented.)-limit for thin elastic plates whose energy density oscillates on a scale that is either comparable to, or much smaller than, the ...

(2013-12-31)
We rigorously derive a homogenized von-Kármán plate theory as a Γ-limit from nonlinear three-dimensional elasticity by combining homogenization and dimension reduction. Our starting point is an energy functional that ...
• #### Derivation of a homogenized von-Kármán shell theory from 3D elasticity ﻿

(2014-12-31)
We derive homogenized von Kármán shell theories starting from three dimensional nonlinear elasticity. The original three dimensional model contains two small parameters: the period of oscillation $\epsilon$ of the material ...

(2015-12-31)
The emergence of cooperation is analyzed in heterogeneous populations where two kinds of individuals exist according to their phenotypic appearance. Phenotype recognition is assumed for all individuals: individuals are ...

We explore the spatial complexity of Conway's "Game of Life," a prototypical cellular automaton by means of a geometrical procedure generating a two-dimensional random walk from a bidimensional lattice with periodical ...

(2014-12-31)
We consider the growth-fragmentation equation and we address the problem of estimating the division rate from the stable size distribution of the population, which is easily measured, but non-smooth. We propose a method ...

(2010-12-31)
In this paper we summarize our recent results on the exact boundary controllability of a trapezoidal time discrete wave equation in a bounded domain. It is shown that the projection of the solution in an appropriate space ...
