Item Description:Modeling and Applied Mathematics Modeling the behavior of real physical systems by suitable evolution equations is a relevant, maybe the fundamental, aspect of the interactions between mathematics and applied sciences. Modeling is, however, only the first step toward the mathematical description and simulation of systems belonging to real world. Indeed, once the evolution equation is proposed, one has to deal with mathematical problems and develop suitable simulations to provide the description of the real system according to the model. Within this framework, one has an evolution equation and the related mathematical problems obtained by adding all necessary conditions for their solution. Then, a qualitative analysis should be developed: this means proof of existence of solutions and analysis of their qualitative behavior. Asymptotic analysis may include a detailed description of stability properties. Quantitative analysis, based upon the application of suitable methods and algorithms for the solution of problems, ends up with the simulation that is the representation of the dependent variable versus the independent one. The information obtained by the model has to be compared with those deriving from the experimental observation of the real system. This comparison may finally lead to the validation of the model followed by its application and, maybe, further generalization
