The results obtained in a study of the heat and entropy of fusion, and a few data on the
crystallization kinetics, of poly-β-propiolactone and poly-ϵ-caprolactone are reported. Attention is …

We address the issue of compressing and indexing data. We devise a data structure whose
space occupancy is a function of the entropy of the underlying data set. We call the data …

We present, on the simplest possible case, what we consider as the very basic features of
the (brand new) virtual element method. As the readers will easily recognize, the virtual …

… The work of G. Manzini was partially supported by the Italian MIUR projects “Algorithmics
for Internet and the Web (ALINWEB)” and “Enhanced Content Delivery (ECD)”. Authors’ …

The mimetic finite difference (MFD) method mimics fundamental properties of mathematical
and physical systems including conservation laws, symmetry and positivity of solutions, …

… They also need to have all Selectc(G,q) queries precomputed for each possible block G, …
locate with the ones for count, we get [Ferragina and Manzini 2005] the following theorem. …

In this article, we analyze a discontinuous finite element method recently introduced by
Bassi and Rebay for the approximation of elliptic problems. Stability and error estimates in …

We present a number of test cases and meshes that were designed as a benchmark for
numerical schemes dedicated to the approximation of three-dimensional anisotropic and …

… 0 it is possible to find a string s such that the output of these algorithms is greater than s H*1(s)
(see Kosaraju and Manzini [1999]; obviously for such strings we have H*1(s) …

This book describes the theoretical and computational aspects of the mimetic finite difference
method for a wide class of multidimensional elliptic problems, which includes diffusion, …
