Simulation software is increasingly replacing traditional physical testing in the process of product development, as it can in many cases reduce development times and costs. In a variety of applications, the reduction ...

We define a point residue for any Artinian O-modules via Hermitian free resolutions, generalising the one dimensional residue and the classical multivariate Grothendieck point residue. We consider various definitions of ...

This thesis addresses the issue of vulnerable underlying assumptions used in option pricing methodology. More precisely; underlying assumptions made on the financial assets and markets make option pricing theory vulnerable ...

Focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) is a well-established microscopy technique for 3D imaging of porous materials. We investigate three porous samples of ethyl cellulose microporous films made from ...

The thesis introduces an innovative way of decreasing the computational cost of approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) simulations when implemented via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Bayesian inference has enjoyed ...

We introduce the classical theory of heights on projective space and prove explicit quasiparallelogram laws for the ordinary height and the naive height on elliptic curves over number fields with shortWeierstrass equations. ...

This thesis investigates the behaviour of the CDS-bond basis dur- ing and after the 2008 nancial crisis. It is found that the basis plunges deep into negative territory and that the theory of a zero CDS-bond basis is ...

Due to the nancial crisis of 2007, regulatory authorities engaged in a fundamental reconsideration of how they approach nancial regulation and supervision. Therefore, that nancial crisis caused the need of a signi ...
