Convergence over fractals for the Schrödinger equation
(2021-01)We consider a fractal refinement of the Carleson problem for the Schrödinger equation, that is to identify the minimal regularity needed by the solutions to converge pointwise to their initial data almost everywhere with ... -
Mathematical models for glioma growth and migration inside the brain
(2021-01)Gliomas are the most prevalent, aggressive, and invasive subtype of primary brain tumors, characterized by rapid cell proliferation and great infiltration capacity. De- spite the advances of clinical research, these tumors ... -
Rational approximation of P-wave kinematics — Part 2: Orhorhombic media
(Geophysics, 2020-09)Orthorhombic anisotropy is a modern standard for 3D seismic studies in complex geologic settings. Several seismic data processing methods and wave propagation modeling algorithms in orthorhombic media rely on phase-velocity, ... -
A new acoustic assumption for orthorhombic media
(Geophysical journal international, 2020-11)In exploration seismology, the acquisition, processing and inversion of P-wave data is a routine. However, in orthorhombic anisotropic media, the governing equations that describe the P-wave propagation are coupled with ... -
Migration in Multi-Population Differential Evolution for Many Objective Optimization
(2020 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC), 2020)The paper proposes a novel extension of many objective optimization using differential evolution (MaODE). MaODE solves a many objective optimization (MaOO) problem by parallel optimization of individual objectives. MaODE ... -
Q-Learning Induced Artificial Bee Colony for Noisy Optimization
(2020 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC), 2020)The paper proposes a novel approach to adaptive selection of sample size for a trial solution of an evolutionary algorithm when noise of unknown distribution contaminates the objective surface. The sample size of a solution ... -
A Machine Learning Approach to Predict Healthcare Cost of Breast Cancer Patients
(Scientific Reports, Springer Nature, 2021)This paper presents a novel machine learning approach to per- form an early prediction of the healthcare cost of breast cancer patients. The learning phase of our prediction method considers the following two steps: i) in ... -
Equivalence between the DPG method and the Exponential Integrators for linear parabolic problems
(Journal of Computational Physics, 2020-11)The Discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) method and the exponential integrators are two well established numerical methods for solving Partial Di fferential Equations (PDEs) and sti ff systems of Ordinary Di fferential ... -
A DPG-based time-marching scheme for linear hyperbolic problems
(Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2020-11)The Discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) method is a widely employed discretization method for Partial Di fferential Equations (PDEs). In a recent work, we applied the DPG method with optimal test functions for the time ... -
Rational approximation of P-wave kinematics — Part 1: Transversely isotropic media
(Geophysics, 2020-09)In seismic data processing and several wave propagation modeling algorithms, the phase velocity, group velocity, and traveltime equations are essential. To have these equations in explicit form, or to reduce algebraic ... -
Journey to the center of the linear ordering problem
(GECCO '20: Proceedings of the 2020 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, 2020-06)A number of local search based algorithms have been designed to escape from the local optima, such as, iterated local search or variable neighborhood search. The neighborhood chosen for the local search as well as the ... -
Molecular Dynamics Test of the Stress-Thermal Rule in Polyethylene and Polystyrene Entangled Melts
(Macromolecules, 2020-02-03)Anisotropic thermal transport induced by deformation and the linear relation between the thermal conductivity and stress tensors, also known as the stress-thermal rule (STR), are tested via molecular dynamics simulations ... -
Numerical investigation of the rheological behavior of a dense particle suspension in a biviscous matrix using a lubrication dynamics method
(Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 2020-05-19)This paper presents a numerical approach to predict the rheology of dense non-colloidal suspensions with a biviscous matrix. A biviscous matrix is characterized as a fluid with two shear rate dependent viscosities i.e. one ... -
Inflection, Canards and Folded Singularities in Excitable Systems: Application to a 3D FitzHugh–Nagumo Model
(Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2020-09-07)Specific kinds of physical and biological systems exhibit complex Mixed-Mode Oscillations mediated by folded-singularity canards in the context of slow-fast models. The present manuscript revisits these systems, specifically ... -
Why we should use topological data analysis in ageing: Towards defining the “topological shape of ageing”
(Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2020-10-27)Living systems are subject to the arrow of time; from birth, they undergo complex transformations (self-organization) in a constant battle for survival, but inevitably ageing and disease trap them to death. Can ageing be ... -
Targeting Infectious Agents as a Therapeutic Strategy in Alzheimer’s Disease
(CNS Drugs, 2020-05-26)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent dementia in the world. Its cause(s) are presently largely unknown. The most common explanation for AD, now, is the amyloid cascade hypothesis, which states that the cause of ... -
