• #### Improved A1 − A∞ and related estimates for commutators of rough singular integrals ﻿

(Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, 2017)
An $A_1-A_\infty$ estimate improving a previous result in [22] for $[b, T_\Omega]$ with $\Omega\in L^\infty(S^{n-1})$ and $b\in BMO$ is obtained. Also a new result in terms of the $A_\infty$ constant and the one ...
• #### Topology of Spaces of Valuations and Geometry of Singularities ﻿

(Transactions of the AMS - American Mathematical Society, 2017-11-11)
Given an algebraic variety X defined over an algebraically closed field, we study the space RZ(X,x) consisting of all the valuations of the function field of X which are centered in a closed point x of X. We concentrate ...
• #### A system for airport weather forecasting based on circular regression trees ﻿

(Environmental Modelling & Software, 2017-11-01)
This paper describes a suite of tools and a model for improving the accuracy of airport weather forecasts produced by numerical weather prediction (NWP) products, by learning from the relationships between previously ...
• #### Learning to classify software defects from crowds: a novel approach ﻿

(Applied Soft Computing, 2017-11-01)
In software engineering, associating each reported defect with a cate- gory allows, among many other things, for the appropriate allocation of resources. Although this classification task can be automated using stan- dard ...
• #### A proof of the integral identity conjecture, II ﻿

(Comptes Rendus Mathematique, 2017-10-31)
In this note, using Cluckers-Loeser’s theory of motivic integration, we prove the integral identity conjecture with framework a localized Grothendieck ring of varieties over an arbitrary base field of characteristic zero.
• #### Correcting for spatial heterogeneity in plant breeding experiments with P-splines ﻿

(Spatial Statistics, 2017-10-27)
An important aim of the analysis of agricultural field experiments is to obtain good predictions for genotypic performance, by correcting for spatial effects. In practice these corrections turn out to be complicated, since ...
• #### On a hyperbolic system arising in liquid crystal modelling ﻿

(Journal of Hyperbolic Differential Equations, 2017-11)
We consider a model of liquid crystals, based on a nonlinear hyperbolic system of differential equations, that represents an inviscid version of the model proposed by Qian and Sheng. A new concept of dissipative solution ...
• #### Sphere-valued harmonic maps with surface energy and the K13 problem ﻿

(Advances in the Calculus of Variations, 2017-11)
We consider an energy functional motivated by the celebrated K13 problem in the Oseen-Frank theory of nematic liquid crystals. It is defined for sphere-valued functions and appears as the usual Dirichlet energy with an ...
• #### Global well-posedness and twist-wave solutions for the inertial Qian-Sheng model of liquid crystals ﻿

(Journal of Differential Equations, 2017-10-02)
We consider the inertial Qian-Sheng model of liquid crystals which couples a hyperbolic-type equation involving a second-order material derivative with a forced incompressible Navier-Stokes system. We study the energy law ...
• #### Early classification of time series by simultaneously optimizing the accuracy and earliness ﻿

(IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, 2017-10)
The problem of early classi cation of time series appears naturally in contexts where the data, of temporal nature, is collected over time, and early class predictions are interesting or even required. The objective is to ...
• #### Klein's Paradox and the Relativistic $\delta$-shell Interaction in $\mathbb{R}^3$ ﻿

(Analysis & PDE, 2017-11)
Under certain hypothesis of smallness of the regular potential $\mathbf{V}$, we prove that the Dirac operator in $\mathbb{R}^3$ coupled with a suitable re-scaling of $\mathbf{V}$, converges in the strong resolvent sense ...
• #### Asymptotic behaviour for fractional diffusion-convection equations ﻿

(2017-10)
We consider a convection-diffusion model with linear fractional diffusion in the sub-critical range. We prove that the large time asymptotic behavior of the solution is given by the unique entropy solution of the convective ...

(submitted, 2017-10)
We study the general nonlinear diffusion equation $u_t=\nabla\cdot (u^{m-1}\nabla (-\Delta)^{-s}u)$ that describes a flow through a porous medium which is driven by a nonlocal pressure. We consider constant parameters ...
• #### A space-fractional Monodomain model for cardiac electrophysiology combining anisotropy and heterogeneity on realistic geometries ﻿

(2017-10-04)
Classical models of electrophysiology do not typically account for the effects of high structural heterogeneity in the spatio-temporal description of excitation waves propagation. We consider a modification of the Monodomain ...

(Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 2017-09)
We present a numerical investigation of the three-dimensional coarsening dynamics of a nematic liquid crystal-isotropic fluid mixture using a conserved phase field model. The model is a coupled system for a generalized ...

(ACS Synthetic Biology, 2017-09-30)
Although recent advances in synthetic biology allow us to produce biological designs more efficiently than ever, our ability to predict the end result of these designs is still nascent. Predictive models require large ...
