Tight maps, a classification
(2014-09-05)This thesis concerns the classification of tight totally geodesic maps between Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type. In Paper I we classify holomorphic tight maps. We introduce a new criterion for tightness ... -
A contribution to the design and analysis of phase III clinical trials
(2013-11-08)Clinical trials are an established methodology for evaluation of the effects of a new medical treatment. These trials are usually divided into several phases, namely phase I through IV. The earlier phases (I and II) are ... -
Tracking mathematical giftedness in an egalitarian context
(2013-10-31)In three different studies upper secondary school head teachers’ characterization and identification of mathematical giftedness was investigated. A survey study (Paper II) explored the conceptions held by 36 randomly ... -
Stochastic Models in Phylogenetic Comparative Methods: Analytical Properties and Parameter Estimation
(2013-09-16)Phylogenetic comparative methods are well established tools for using inter-species variation to analyse phenotypic evolution and adaptation. They are generally hampered, however, by predominantly univariate approaches and ... -
Exercising Mathematical Competence: Practising Representation Theory and Representing Mathematical Practice
(2013-04-05)This thesis assembles two papers in mathematics and two papers in mathematics education. In the mathematics part, representation theory is practised. Two Clebsch-Gordan type problems are addressed. The original problem ... -
The Dirac Equation: Numerical and Asymptotic Analysis
(2012-11-28)The thesis consists of three parts, although each part belongs to a specific subject area in mathematics, they are considered as subfields of the perturbation theory. The main objective of the presented work is the study ... -
Okounkov bodies and geodesic rays in Kähler geoemtry
(2012-05-10)This thesis presents three papers dealing with questions in Kähler geometry. In the first paper we construct a transform, called the Chebyshev transform, which maps continuous hermitian metrics on a big line bundle to ... -
Percolation: Inference and Applications in Hydrology
(2011-11-25)Percolation theory is a branch of probability theory describing connectedness in a stochastic network. The connectedness of a percolation process is governed by a few, typically one or two, parameters. A central theme ... -
Extreme Value Analysis of Huge Datasets: Tail Estimation Methods in High-Throughput Screening and Bioinformatics
(2011-10-13)This thesis presents results in Extreme Value Theory with applications to High-Throughput Screening and Bioinformatics. The methods described here, however, are applicable to statistical analysis of huge datasets in general. ... -
Asymptotics and dynamics in first-passage and continuum percolation
(2011-09-06)This thesis combines the study of asymptotic properties of percolation processes with various dynamical concepts. First-passage percolation is a model for the spatial propagation of a fluid on a discrete structure; the ... -
Index theory in geometry and physics
(2011-04-06)This thesis contains three papers in the area of index theory and its applications in geometry and mathematical physics. These papers deal with the problems of calculating the charge deficiency on the Landau levels and ...
