We study the optimal strategy for a sailboat to reach an upwind island under the hypothesis that the wind direction fluctuates according to a Brownian motion and the wind speed is constant. The work is motivated by a concrete problem which typically arises ...
In this work, we consider an elliptic partial differential equation with a random coefficient solved with the stochastic collocation finite element method. The random diffusion coefficient is assumed to depend in an affine way on independent random variabl ...
Linear matrix equations, such as the Sylvester and Lyapunov equations, play an important role in various applications, including the stability analysis and dimensionality reduction of linear dynamical control systems and the solution of partial differentia ...
In this paper we give a survey on various multiscale methods for the numerical solution of second order hyperbolic equations in highly heterogenous media. We concentrate on the wave equation and distinguish between two classes of applications. First we dis ...
In this work we study, from the numerical point of view, a problem involving one-dimensional thermoelastic mixtures with two different temperatures; that is, when each component of the mixture has its own temperature. The mechanical problem consists of two ...
We use the averaged variational principle introduced in a recent article on graph spectra [10] to obtain upper bounds for sums of eigenvalues of several partial differential operators of interest in geometric analysis, which are analogues of Kroger's bound ...
In this paper we consider, from the numerical point of view, a thermoelastic diffusion porous problem. This is written as a coupled system of two hyperbolic equations, for the displacement and porosity fields, and two parabolic equations, for the temperatu ...
In the chemical industry, a large class of processes involving reactions can be described by partial differential equations that depend on time and on one or more spatial coordinates. Examples of such distributed reaction systems are tubular reactors and r ...
The central objective of this work is to revisit the development of the widely used solubility parameters and linear solvation energy relationships (LSER) and seek interconnections and possibilities for secure exchange of information. Partial solvation par ...
In this work we address the numerical solution of large scale fluid-structure interaction problems when nonconforming grids and⁄or nonconforming finite elements discretizations are used at the interface separating the fluid and structure physical domains. ...
