Melnikov functions and Bautin ideal

2001

The computation of the number of limit cycles which appear in an analytic unfolding of planar vector fields is related to the decomposition of the displacement function of this unfolding in an ideal of functions in the parameter space, called the Ideal of Bautin. On the other hand, the asymptotic of the displacement function, for 1-parameter unfoldings of hamiltonian vector fields is given by Melnikov functions which are defined as the coefficients of Taylor expansion in the parameter. It is interesting to compare these two notions and to study if the general estimations of the number of limit cycles in terms of the Bautin ideal could be reduced to the computations of Melnikov functions for…

Closed form coefficients in the Symmetric Boundary Element Approach

2006

Abstract In the area of the structural analysis, the problems connected to the use of the symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method (SGBEM) must be investigated especially in the mathematical and computational difficulties that are present in computing the solving system coefficients. Indeed, any coefficient is made by double integrals including often fundamental solutions having a high degree of singularity. Therefore, the related computation proves to be difficult in the solution. This paper suggests a simple computation technique of the coefficients obtained in closed form. Using a particular matrix, called ‘progenitor’ matrix [Panzeca T, Cucco F, Terravecchia S. Symmetric boundary elem…

Nonlinear nonhomogeneous Neumann eigenvalue problems

2015

We consider a nonlinear parametric Neumann problem driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator with a reaction which is $(p-1)$-superlinear near $\pm\infty$ and exhibits concave terms near zero. We show that for all small values of the parameter, the problem has at least five solutions, four of constant sign and the fifth nodal. We also show the existence of extremal constant sign solutions.

On the steady state problem of the chemotaxis-consumption model with logistic growth and Dirichlet boundary condition for signal

2023

This paper concerns the steady state problem for chemotaxis consumption system with logistic growth and constant concentration of chemoat-tractant on the boundary of the domain. We establish the existence of a non-constant positive solution to this problem. The uniqueness of this solution is obtained under the smallness assumption on the boundary data. Some qualitative properties of the solutions and numerical results are presented.

Adaptive rational interpolation for point values

2019

Abstract G. Ramponi et al. introduced in Carrato et al. (1997,1998), Castagno and Ramponi (1996) and Ramponi (1995) a non linear rational interpolator of order two. In this paper we extend this result to get order four. We observe the Gibbs phenomenon that is obtained near discontinuities with its weights. With the weights we propose we obtain approximations of order four in smooth regions and three near discontinuities. We also introduce a rational nonlinear extrapolation which is also of order four in the smooth region of the given function. In the experiments we calculate numerically approximation orders for the different methods described in this paper and see that they coincide with th…

A class of weak pseudo-bosons and their bi-coherent states

2022

In this paper we extend some previous results on weak pseudo-bosons and on their related bi-coherent states. The role of {\em compatible} functions is discussed in details, and some examples are considered. The pseudo-bosonic ladder operators analysed in this paper generalize significantly those considered so far, and a class of new diagonalizable manifestly non self-adjoint Hamiltonians are deduced.

A degenerating convection-diffusion system modelling froth flotation with drainage

2022

Abstract Froth flotation is a common unit operation used in mineral processing. It serves to separate valuable mineral particles from worthless gangue particles in finely ground ores. The valuable mineral particles are hydrophobic and attach to bubbles of air injected into the pulp. This creates bubble-particle aggregates that rise to the top of the flotation column where they accumulate to a froth or foam layer that is removed through a launder for further processing. At the same time, the hydrophilic gangue particles settle and are removed continuously. The drainage of liquid due to capillarity is essential for the formation of a stable froth layer. This effect is included into a previous…

Modelling the dynamics of the students’ academic performance in the German region of the North Rhine-Westphalia: an epidemiological approach with unc…

2013

Student academic underachievement is a concern of paramount importance in Europe, where around 15% of the students in the last high school courses do not achieve the minimum knowledge academic requirement. In this paper, we propose a model based on a system of differential equations to study the dynamics of the students academic performance in the German region of North Rhine-Westphalia. This approach is supported by the idea that both, good and bad study habits, are a mixture of personal decisions and influence of classmates. This model allows us to forecast the student academic performance by means of confidence intervals over the next few years.
