LA SFIDA CONTEMPORANEA DELLA TRADIZIONE COSTRUTTIVA: RICOSTRUIRE LO SPAZIO. SISTEMI VOLTATI IN PIETRA REALIZZATI IN CANTIERE E NEI LABORATORI DIDATTI…
2018
Nel cantiere di recupero e/o restauro, così come nelle versatili accezioni della ricerca universitaria sui temi della costruzione storica, non è infrequente imbattersi negli studi stereotomici sull’analisi e la riproposizione di sistemi voltati, talora originali – per alcuni versi anche complessi - per geometria costitutiva, apparecchiatura, opere di carpenteria preliminare/sussidiaria. Le intuizioni del progettista originario, la codifica della regola dell’arte desunte dalla trattatistica di genere diventano elementi fondamentali per il cosiddetto “cantiere della conoscenza”, fase preliminare propedeutica qualora si debba intervenire nella riproposizione di questi sistemi voltati poiché sc…
Changes in nocturnal heart rate variability and endurance performance during a high-intensity or high-volume endurance training period in recreationa…
2014
It is known that endurance training affects the modulation of the autonomic nervous system and heart rate variability (HRV). As a method HRV may be a potential tool to monitor trainability and endurance training adaptation. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in nocturnal HRV indices and endurance running performance during high intensity versus high volume endurance training. In total, 28 recreational male and female endurance runners (35 ± 8 year, VO2max 50 ± 5 ml/kg/min) were matched into two training groups after the 8 week basic training period (BTP) according to HRV, endurance performance and training adaptation during BTP. During the 8 week hard training period (HTP), th…
Control of the Development of Swirling Airflow Dynamics and Its Impact on Biomass Combustion Characteristics
2017
Abstract The development of the swirling flame flow field and gasification/ combustion dynamics at thermo-chemical conversion of biomass pellets has experimentally been studied using a pilot device, which combines a biomass gasifier and combustor by varying the inlet conditions of the fuel-air mixture into the combustor. Experimental modelling of the formation of the cold nonreacting swirling airflow field above the inlet nozzle of the combustor and the upstream flow formation below the inlet nozzle has been carried out to assess the influence of the inlet nozzle diameter, as well primary and secondary air supply rates on the upstream flow formation and air swirl intensity, which is highly …
New Invariant Domain Preserving Finite Volume Schemes for Compressible Flows
2021
We present new invariant domain preserving finite volume schemes for the compressible Euler and Navier–Stokes–Fourier systems. The schemes are entropy stable and preserve positivity of density and internal energy. More importantly, their convergence towards a strong solution of the limit system has been proved rigorously in [9, 11]. We will demonstrate their accuracy and robustness on a series of numerical experiments.
$$\mathscr {K}$$-Convergence of Finite Volume Solutions of the Euler Equations
2020
We review our recent results on the convergence of invariant domain-preserving finite volume solutions to the Euler equations of gas dynamics. If the classical solution exists we obtain strong convergence of numerical solutions to the classical one applying the weak-strong uniqueness principle. On the other hand, if the classical solution does not exist we adapt the well-known Prokhorov compactness theorem to space-time probability measures that are generated by the sequences of finite volume solutions and show how to obtain the strong convergence in space and time of observable quantities. This can be achieved even in the case of ill-posed Euler equations having possibly many oscillatory s…
Reduced Order Models for Pricing European and American Options under Stochastic Volatility and Jump-Diffusion Models
2017
Abstract European options can be priced by solving parabolic partial(-integro) differential equations under stochastic volatility and jump-diffusion models like the Heston, Merton, and Bates models. American option prices can be obtained by solving linear complementary problems (LCPs) with the same operators. A finite difference discretization leads to a so-called full order model (FOM). Reduced order models (ROMs) are derived employing proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The early exercise constraint of American options is enforced by a penalty on subset of grid points. The presented numerical experiments demonstrate that pricing with ROMs can be orders of magnitude faster within a give…
Reduced Order Models for Pricing American Options under Stochastic Volatility and Jump-diffusion Models
2016
American options can be priced by solving linear complementary problems (LCPs) with parabolic partial(-integro) differential operators under stochastic volatility and jump-diffusion models like Heston, Merton, and Bates models. These operators are discretized using finite difference methods leading to a so-called full order model (FOM). Here reduced order models (ROMs) are derived employing proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and non negative matrix factorization (NNMF) in order to make pricing much faster within a given model parameter variation range. The numerical experiments demonstrate orders of magnitude faster pricing with ROMs. peerReviewed
Iterative Methods for Pricing American Options under the Bates Model
2013
We consider the numerical pricing of American options under the Bates model which adds log-normally distributed jumps for the asset value to the Heston stochastic volatility model. A linear complementarity problem (LCP) is formulated where partial derivatives are discretized using finite differences and the integral resulting from the jumps is evaluated using simple quadrature. A rapidly converging fixed point iteration is described for the LCP, where each iterate requires the solution of an LCP. These are easily solved using a projected algebraic multigrid (PAMG) method. The numerical experiments demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach. Furthermore, they show that the PAMG meth…
