  1. 16. Mechanicus : Performing an Early Modern Persona

    Författare :Jacob Orrje; H. Otto Sibum; Fors Hjalmar; Thomas Kaiserfeld; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; mechanics; performance; virtue; persona; mathematics; self fashioning; education; masculinity; age; oeconomy; cameralism; Sweden; eighteenth century; intergenerational relationships; History of Sciences and Ideas; Idé- och lärdomshistoria;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis studies mechanics as a means of making men, rather than machines. Drawing on Swedish sources from 1700–50, it approaches mechanics as an exercise of a virtuous subject, known to his contemporaries as the “mechanicus”. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Two Problems in non-linear PDE’s with Phase Transitions

    Författare :Karl Jonsson; Henrik Shahgholian; Tomas Sjödin; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Conductivity jump; Free boundary problem; Quasilinear elliptic equation; Mathematical techniques; Nonlinear analysis; Free boundary; Free-boundary problems; Quasi-linear elliptic; Quasilinear elliptic equations; Hele-Shaw flow; non-local; implicit function theorem; Heterogeneous Multi Scale; HMM; Finite Element; FEM; FE; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is in the field of non-linear partial differential equations (PDE), focusing on problems which show some type of phase-transition. A single phase Hele-Shaw flow models a Newtoninan fluid which is being injected in the space between two narrowly separated parallel planes. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Numerical methods for inverse heat conduction problems

    Författare :Fredrik Berntsson; Per Christian Hansen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ill-posed; Heat Conduction; Regularization; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Sammanfattning : In many industrial applications one wishes to determine the temperature history on the surface of a body, where the surface itself is inaccessible for measurements. The sideways heat equation is a model of this situation. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Convergence analysis of domain decomposition methods : Nonlinear elliptic and linear parabolic equations

    Författare :Emil Engström; Matematik LTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nonoverlapping domain decomposition; Steklov--Poincaré operator; Robin--Robin method; Convergence; Nonlinear elliptic equation; Space-time;

    Sammanfattning : Domain decomposition methods are widely used tools for solving partial differential equations in parallel. However, despite their long history, there is a lack of rigorous convergence theory for equations with non-symmetric differential operators. This includes both nonlinear elliptic equations and linear parabolic equations. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Topics in the mean-field type approach to pedestrian crowd modeling and conventions

    Författare :Alexander Aurell; Boualem Djehiche; Xiaoming Hu; Roland Malhamé; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pedestrian crowds; stochastic differential equations; mean field; stochastic control; games; backward dynamics; sticky boundary; stochastic maximum principle; social conventions; folkmassor; stokastiska differentialekvationer; medelfält; stokastisk styrning; limaktiga randvillkor; stokastiska maximumprincipen; dynamik med ändvillkor; spel; konventioner;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of five appended papers, primarily addressingtopics in pedestrian crowd modeling and the formation of conventions.The first paper generalizes a pedestrian crowd model for competingsubcrowds to include nonlocal interactions and an arbitrary (butfinite) number of subcrowds.
