    A computer model for a theory of evolution

    No full text
    Computer models and computer simulations are crucial for understanding complex phenomena because they compel the explicit enumeration of all variables and the exact specification of all relations between them. In this paper we discuss a computer model for a phenotypical theory of evolution which, in our opinion, is well suited to simulate the complex dependence of speciation on both internal and external factors, through their influences on the fertility factor. Some of these dependences are investigated through simulations

    No full text
    Il lavoro si inserisce nella lunga tradizione di ricerche sulla storia dell’Università di Padova e sulla ricostruzione dell’ambiente scientifico nel Veneto dell’Ottocento. L'attenzione è rivolta principalmente all’attività di alcuni scienziati appartenenti allo Studio matematico-filosofico tra i quali spicca la figura di Giusto Bellavitis noto per le sue ricerche sul calcolo delle equipollenze

    Il contributo di Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli allo studio matematico della Teoria dell'Evoluzione

    Starting from the new edition, published in 2010, of G. V. Schiaparelli's paper "Studio comparativo tra le forme organiche naturali e le forme geometriche pure" (1898), we show the theorical and mathematical developments inspired by such work. Our aim is to propose both a geometrical and dynamical models and related numerical simulations
