Some fractal thoughts about the COVID-19 infection outbreak
Massimo Materassi
Some ideas are presented about the physical motivation of the apparent capacity of generalized logistic equations to describe the outbreak of the COVID-19 infection, and in general…
Steering complex networks toward desired dynamics
Ricardo Gutiérrez, Massimo Materassi, Stefano Focardi +1
We consider networks of dynamical units that evolve in time according to different laws, and are coupled to each other in highly irregular ways. Studying how to steer the dynamics…
Stochastic Lagrangians for Statistical Dynamics
Massimo Materassi
The concept of stochastic Lagrangian and its use in statistical dynamics is illustrated theoretically, and with some examples. Dynamical variables undergoing stochastic differentia…
Metriplectic torque for rotation control of a rigid body
Massimo Materassi, Philip J. Morrison
Metriplectic dynamics couple a Poisson bracket of the Hamiltonian description with a kind of metric bracket, for describing systems with both Hamiltonian and dissipative components…
Metriplectic Structure of a Radiation-Matter Interaction Toy Model
Giulia Marcucci, Claudio Conti, Massimo Materassi
A dynamical system defined by a metriplectic structure is a dissipative model characterized by a specific pair of tensors, which defines the Leibniz brackets. Generally, these tens…
Metriplectic formalism: friction and much more
Massimo Materassi, Philip J. Morrison
The metriplectic formalism couples Poisson brackets of the Hamiltonian description with metric brackets for describing systems with both Hamiltonian and dissipative components. The…
