Simulation of earthquake with cellular automata.
Two particular cases of the overdetermined gravimetry-gradiometry problem are discussed: (i) the case of a latitude-dependant statistical weight for gradiometric data, corresponding to a data distribution coming from satellite polar orbits, (ii) the case of a volume distribution, instead of a surface distribution, for satellite gradiometric data. In both cases a discussion of numerical methods for solving the problem with realistic data is started; for case (i), an analytic solution is found under...
Viene studiata la stabilità dell’atmosfera in un pianeta ruotante, forzata da un agente esterno ed in presenza di dissipazione. Lo studio vien condotto nelle ipotesi barotropiche e riguarda, per l’effetto delle approssimazioni adottate, solamente quei fenomeni caratterizzati da grandi scale spaziali. In particolare viene studiata la stabilità dei flussi zonali che caratterizzano la circolazione dei maggiori pianeti del sistema solare; ne vengono determinate, servendosi della approssimazione di Galerkin,...
In this survey we collect several results concerning S-type bifurcation curves for the number of solutions of reaction-diffusion stationary equations. In particular, we recall several results in the literature for the case of stationary energy balance models.
As part of global climate change an accelerated hydrologic cycle (including an increase in heavy precipitation) is anticipated (Trenberth [20, 21]). So, it is of great importance to be able to quantify high-impact hydrologic relationships, for example, the impact that an extreme precipitation (or temperature) in a location has on a surrounding region. Building on the Multivariate Extreme Value Theory we propose a contagion index and a stability index. The contagion index makes it possible to quantify...
In this paper, we introduce a method for survival analysis on data streams. Survival analysis (also known as event history analysis) is an established statistical method for the study of temporal “events” or, more specifically, questions regarding the temporal distribution of the occurrence of events and their dependence on covariates of the data sources. To make this method applicable in the setting of data streams, we propose an adaptive variant of a model that is closely related to the well-known...
This work is concerned with the flow of a viscous plastic fluid. We choose a model of Bingham type taking into account inhomogeneous yield limit of the fluid, which is well-adapted in the description of landslides. After setting the general threedimensional problem, the blocking property is introduced. We then focus on necessary and sufficient conditions such that blocking of the fluid occurs. The anti-plane flow in twodimensional and onedimensional cases is considered. A variational formulation...
