We consider the problem of the generation of adaptive grids, where, for a given domain Ω, we have to compute a partition that depends on a given map f providing the desired local mesh size. We propose a numerical method for the solution of this problem in the case of planar quadrilateral grids....

The Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) is one of the most used tools to forecast forest fire hazard. In this paper, we propose an adaptation of the FWI to take into account the Mediterranean vegetation and climate, to improve FWI performances for areas with these characteristics. In particular,...
