La matematica nel processo di cristallizzazione di polimeri: modelli stocastici e deterministici
It is well established that resource variability generated by spatial patchiness and turbulence is an important influence on the growth and recruitment of planktonic fish larvae. Empirical data show fractal-like prey distributions, and simulations indicate that scale-invariant foraging strategies may be optimal. Here we show how larval growth and recruitment in a turbulent environment can be formulated as a hitting time problem for a jump-diffusion process. We present two theoretical results. Firstly,...
