In this work of thesis, the Riemann zeta function was studied by using an unconventional approach. The reason for choosing this approach was to explore the many applications that the Riemann zeta has not only in pure ...

A conservation law is a partial di_erential equation, in which the variable is a quantity which remains constant in time, that is it cannot be created and destroyed. Thanks to the conservation laws it is possible to de_ne ...

In this thesis, a mathematical model to optimize the allocation of human resources is presented. The problem can be summarized as follows: given a set of jobs (or tasks), tath must be performed by a set of resources in ...

Recent advances in wireless communication networks led to possibility of multi-rate transmission of information. The queueing theory represents a valid tool to study how the performances of such communication systems can ...
