We determine the (refined) Nash equilibria for a bounded rational Carfi'-Musolino speculative and hedging model. This model shows two types of operators: a real economic subject (Air) and one or more investment banks (Bank). We consider the bank agents' b... see more

The classical "ether-drift" experiments in gaseous media (Michelson-Morley, Miller, Illingworth, Joos, ...) have always shown small, irregular residuals, usually interpreted as typical instrumental artifacts. A recent re-analysis indicates, instead, that ... see more

The one-dimensional propagation of magnetic domain walls in a ferromagnetic nanostrip is investigated analytically in the framework of the extended Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. In particular, this study focuses on the characterization of the domain w... see more

We report on the large photoluminescence emission (PL) obtained in germanium nanocrystals of about 100 nm, in porous deposition. Investigating Raman and PL spectra in such closely spaced agglomerates, we discovered that photoluminescence emission can be o... see more

Hydrodynamical models for charge transport in graphene can be obtained as moment equations of the semiclassical Boltzmann equation in which the needed closure relations are obtained by resorting to the Maximum Entropy Principle (Jaynes 1957; Jou and Lebon... see more

In this work, the interaction between the necking onset and the strain rate sensitivity in tensile tests by Split Hopkinson Tensile Bar (SHTB) is investigated. Results from experiments on a FE360 mild steel done by the authors and experimental data availa... see more

An introduction to the memorial issue in honor of Prof. Gaetano Giaquinta.
Alfio Grillo,Salvatore Federico
We provide some biographical information about Prof. Gaetano Giaquinta, who passed away on the 13th of August 2016, after a long disease. Prof. Gaetano Giaquinta was for us a mentor, a guide, and ultimately a friend. His words have assisted us not only al... see more
