Human Behavior And Lognormal Distribution. A Kinetic Description

Stefano Gualandi, Giuseppe Toscani

In recent years it has been increasing evidence that lognormal distributions are widespread in physical and biological sciences, as well as in various phenomena of economics and so…

The size distribution of cities: a kinetic explanation

Stefano Gualandi, Giuseppe Toscani

We present a kinetic approach to the formation of urban agglomerations which is based on simple rules of immigration and emigration. In most cases, the Boltzmann-type kinetic descr…

Computing Kantorovich-Wasserstein Distances on -dimensional histograms using -partite graphs

Gennaro Auricchio, Federico Bassetti, Stefano Gualandi +1

This paper presents a novel method to compute the exact Kantorovich-Wasserstein distance between a pair of -dimensional histograms having bins each. We prove that this probl…

On the Computation of Kantorovich-Wasserstein Distances between 2D-Histograms by Uncapacitated Minimum Cost Flows

Federico Bassetti, Stefano Gualandi, Marco Veneroni

In this work, we present a method to compute the Kantorovich-Wasserstein distance of order one between a pair of two-dimensional histograms. Recent works in Computer Vision and Mac…

Call center service times are lognormal. A Fokker--Planck description

Stefano Gualandi, Giuseppe Toscani

Call centers are service networks in which agents provide telephone-based services. An important part of call center operations is represented by service durations. In recent stati…
