Francesco Mainardi, born in 1942, is Professor of
Mathematical Physics at the University of Bologna ("Alma Mater"), Italy. RESEARCH FIELDS OF INTEREST Asymptotic methods in applied mathematics, integral transforms, special functions and fractional calculus, continuum mechanics (solids and fluids), mathematical aspects of wave-propagation and diffusion, and (recently) non-Gaussian stochastics processes.
PUBLICATIONS He is author of several papers on Applied Mathematics, Continuum Mechanics, Wave Motion, Fractional Calculus and Stochastic Processes, most of which appeared in refereed journals and books. See the complete list of publications (articles, proceedings, reports,..)
LECTURES NOTES He has coordinated (with A. Carpinteri) the Advanced
School "Scaling Laws and Fractality in Continuum Mechanics" (A survey
of the methods based on Renormalization Group and Fractional Calculus),
held at CISM (Centre
International des Sciences Mecaniques), Udine (Italy), September 96,
see www.uniud.it/cism/corsi96/scaling. He has given a course on the application of fractional calculus in stochastic processes at the Advanced Course on Levy Procees held in January 2000 at MaPhySto,(Center for Mathematical Physics and Stochastic) University of Aarhus (Denmark), see www.maphysto.dk/events/LevyCAC2000. For the notes related to his lectures given at the University of Bologna see the page lectures notes
EDITED BOOKS 1. He is the Editor of the book "Wave Propagation in Viscoelastic Media", published by Pitman, London (1982) in the series of "Pitman Research Notes in Mathematics" (No 52), which contains selected lectures held at the Euromech 127. 2. He is the Co-Editor (with A. Carpinteri) of the book "Fractals and Fractional Calculus in Continuum Mechanics", published by Springer-Verlag, Wien (1997) in the series of "CISM Courses and Lectures" (No 378), which contains selected lectures held at the CISM Course.
CONFERENCES CHAIRED In order to promote the research in some fields of wave propagation, he has organized three European Mechanics Colloquia (www.euromech.cz) in Italy: 1. the Euromech 127 on Wave Propagation in Viscoelastic Media, held in Taormina on April 14-18, 1980 (co-chairman G. Pallotti), 2. the Euromech 179 on Waves in Fluid Filled Tubes, held in Rimini on June 18-22, 1984 (co-chairman H. Buggisch), 3. the Euromech 240 on Dispersive Waves in Dissipative Fluids, held in Bologna in 1988 from August 30 to September 2 (co-chairman D.G. Crighton).
