Generating Functions for Lacunary Legendre and Legendre-like Polynomials

The use of operational methods of different nature is shown to be a fairly powerful tool to study different problems regarding the theory of Legendre and Legendre-like polynomials. We show how the use of the well known integral representations linking Hermite and Legendre like polynomials and of operational technique allow the derivation of new properties regarding the generating functions, repeated derivatives of irrational functions and so on. We finally extend the method of the integral transform to functions with more than one variable and derive new expansion criteria of a given function in terms of Legendre polynomials.

Umbral-Algebraic Methods and Asymptotic Properties of Special Polynomials

A new method of algebraic nature is proposed for the study of the asymptotic properties of special polynomials. The technique we foresee is based on the use of umbral operators, allowing a unified treatment of a large body of polynomial families, with the use of elementary algebraic tools.

EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB Design study towards a compact FEL facility at LNF

On the wake of the results obtained so far at the SPARC\_LAB test-facility at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (Italy), we are currently investigating the possibility to design and build a new multi-disciplinary user-facility, equipped with a soft X-ray Free Electron Laser (FEL) driven by a $\sim$1 GeV high brightness linac based on plasma accelerator modules. This design study is performed in synergy with the EuPRAXIA design study. In this paper we report about the recent progresses in the on going design study of the new facility.

Hermite Calculus

We develop a new method of umbral nature to treat blocks of Hermite and of Hermite like polynomials as independent algebraic quantities. The Calculus we propose allows the formulation of a number of practical rules allowing significant simplifications in computational problems.

Capillary Network, Cancer and Kleiber Law

We develop a heuristic model embedding Kleiber and Murray laws to describe mass growth, metastasis and vascularization in cancer. We analyze the relevant dynamics using different evolution equations (Verhulst, Gompertz and others). Their extension to reaction diffusion equation of the Fisher type is then used to describe the relevant metastatic spreading in space. Regarding this last point, we suggest that cancer diffusion may be regulated by Levy flights mechanisms and discuss the possibility that the associated reaction diffusion equations are of the fractional type, with the fractional coefficient being determined by the fractal nature of the capillary evolution.
