Local and global survival for nonhomogeneous random walk systems on Z | Abstract | | We study an interacting random walk system on Z where at time 0 there is an
active particle at 0 and one inactive particle on each site $n ge1$. Particles
become active when hit by another active particle. Once activated
they perform an asymmetric nearest neighbour random walk which depends
only on the starting location of the particle. We give conditions for global survival,
local survival and infinite activation both in the case where all particles are
immortal and in the case where particles have geometrically distributed lifespan
(with parameter depending on the starting location of the particle).
In particular, in the immortal case, we prove a 0-1 law for the probability of local
survival when all particles drift to the right. Besides that, we give sufficient conditions
for local survival or local extinction when all particles drift to the left.
In the mortal case, we provide sufficient conditions for global survival, local
survival and local extinction. Analysis of explicit examples is provided. |

Sharp bounds for the p-torsion of convex planar domains | Abstract | | We obtain some sharp estimates for the p-torsion of convex planar domains in terms of their area,
perimeter, and inradius. The approach we adopt relies on the use of web functions (i.e. functions depending only on the distance from the boundary), and on the behaviour of the inner parallel sets of convex polygons. As an application of our isoperimetric inequalities, we consider the shape optimization problem which
consists in maximizing the p-torsion among polygons having a given number of vertices and a given area. A long-standing conjecture by P´olya-Szeg¨o states that the solution is the regular polygon. We show that such conjecture is true within the subclass of polygons for which a suitable notion of “asymmetry measure” exceeds a critical threshold. |

Differential 1-forms, their integrals ans Potential Theory on the Sierpinski gasket | Abstract | | We provide a de finition of diff erential 1-forms on the Sierpinski gasket K and their integrals on paths. We show how these tools can be used to build up a Potential Theory on K. In particular, we prove: i) a de Rham re-construction of a 1-form from its periods
around lacunas in K; ii) a Hodge decomposition of 1-forms with respect to the Hilbertian energy norm; iii) the existence of potentials of elementary 1-forms on suitable covering spaces of K. We then apply this framework to the topology of the fractal K, showing that each element of the dual of the first Cech homology group is represented by a suitable
harmonic 1-form. |

Spectral Triples for the Sierpinski gasket | Abstract | | We construct a 2-parameter family of spectral triples for the Sierpinski Gasket K. We determine their associated Connes distances in terms of suitable roots of the plane Euclidean metric and their dimensional spectra, and show that the pairing of the associated Fredholm module with (odd) K-theory is non-trivial. We recover the Hausdorff measure of
K in terms of the residue of a functional at its abscissa of convergence d, which coincides with the Hausdorff dimension of the fractal. We recover also the unique,
standard Dirichlet form on K, as the residue of another functional at its abscissa of convergence d , which we call the energy dimension. The fact that the volume dimension diff ers from the energy dimension
reflects the fact that on K energy and volume are distributed singularly. |

On the second solution to a critical growth Robin problem | Abstract | | We investigate the existence of the second mountain-pass solution to a Robin problem, where
the equation is at critical growth and depends on a positive parameter $ë$. More precisely, we
determine existence and nonexistence regions for this type of solutions, depending both on $ë$ and
on the parameter in the boundary conditions. |

A remark on natural constraints in variational methods and an application to superlinear Schrödinger systems | Abstract | | For a regular functional J defined on a Hilbert space X, we consider the set N of points x of X such that the projection of the gradient of J at x onto a closed linear subspace V(x) of X vanishes. We study sufficient conditions for a constrained critical point of J restricted to N to be a free critical point of J, providing a unified approach to different natural constraints known in the literature, such as the Birkhoff-Hestenes natural isoperimetric conditions and the Nehari manifold. As an application, we prove multiplicity of solutions to a class of superlinear Schrödinger systems on singularly perturbed domains.

Designing and mining a multicenter observational clinical registry concerning patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes | Abstract | | In this work we describe design, aims and contents of the ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) Archive, which is a multicenter observational clinical registry planned within the Strategic Program Exploitation, integration and study of current and future health databases in Lombardia for Acute Myocardial Infarction .
This is an observational clinical registry that collects clinical indicators, process indicators and outcomes concerning STEMI patients admitted to any hospital of the Regional district, one of the most advanced and intensive-care area in Italy. This registry is arranged to be automatically linked to the Public Health Database, the on going administrative datawarehouse of Regione Lombardia. Aims and perspectives of this innovative project are discussed, together with feasibility and statistical analyses which are to be performed on it, in order to monitor and evaluate the patterns of care of cardiovascular patients.

Quantum measurements in continuous time, non Markovian evolutions and feedback | Abstract | | In this paper we present a non Markovian version of quantum trajectory theory, based on the stochastic Schroedinger equation with stochastic coefficients. In this framework we can describe measurements in continuous time combined with measurement based feedback. Indeed, realistic descriptions of a feedback loop have to include delay and thus need a non Markovian theory.
As an application we consider a two-level atom stimulated by a laser. We introduce closed loop control too, via the stimulating laser, with the aim to enhance the squeezing of the emitted light, and other typical quantum properties. Let us stress the change of point of view with respect to the usual applications of control theory. Here the system is the two-level atom, but we do not want to control its state, to bring the atom to a final target state. Our aim is to control the Mandel Q-parameter and the spectrum of the emitted light; in particular the spectrum is not a property at a single time, but involves a long interval of times (a Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function of the observed output is needed). |
