On Nonlocal Keller-Segel Type Equations

-

B1 L3 R3119

In the first part of the talk we investigate a Keller-Segel model with quorum sensing and a fractional diffusion operator. This model describes the collective cell movement due to chemical sensing with flux limitation for high cell densities and with anomalous media represented by a nonlinear, degenerate fractional diffusion operator. The purpose here is to introduce and prove the existence of a properly defined entropy solution. In the second part of the talk we will analyze an equation that is gradient flow of a functional related to Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality in whole Euclidean space of higher dimensions.

Scalable parallel solvers for cardiac reaction-diffusion models and applications

Luca F. Pavarino, Professor, Department of Mathematics, Università degli Studi di Pavia

-

B2 L5 R5220

After a brief introduction to the field of Computational Cardiology and cardiac reentry, we introduce and study some scalable domain decomposition preconditioners for cardiac reaction-diffusion models, discretized with splitting semi-implicit techniques in time and isoparametric finite elements in space.
