In the last twenty years the school has been hit by a succession of disruptive and unknown innovations. In particular, there is institutional talk for the first time of ascertaining competences in DPR 323-98 (reform of ...

This study presents new numerical methods for solving differential/integral equations of interest in applications. This thesis consists of four parts. Part I presents numerical methods for solving ordinary differential ...

The Extended Theories of Gravity (ETG) have become one of the most investigated the- oretical proposals among the alternative explanations for the observed flatness of galaxy rotation curves, related to the dark matter ...

This PhD thesis focuses on the electronic and optoelectronic characterization of devices based on low-dimensional materials and on a first approach to fabrication of 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) field effect ...

Space-time is curved by the presence of massive bodies and this curvature influences the motion of the bodies themselves: this leads to a geometry in constant evolution. One of the consequences is that even light, supposed ...

The interest in the study of stochastic differential equations has grown considerably in recent years. The main reason for this interest is that stochastic differential equations are a potential tool for modeling evolutionary ...

Layered ruthenates have received a great attention in condensed matter physics due to the richness of their physical properties and the related phase diagram. Ruthenate compounds show a strong interplay between electronic, ...

The Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD) theory predicts, in condition of very high temperature and/or energy density, a phase transition from the ordinary nuclear matter to a colour-deconfined medium called Quark–Gluon Plasma ...

The search for exoplanets is one of the most exciting challenges. From the first exoplanets discovered around the pulsar PSR B1 257+12 back in 1992 until today there are over 5200 exoplanets discovered. And the number will ...

Combinatorial optimization-based methods are widely used to solve complex real life problems. In this thesis, we use some of these methods for addressing several emerging combinatorial opti- mization problems on graphs ...
