6. Optimal stopping, incomplete information, and stochastic games
Sammanfattning : This thesis contains six papers on the topics of optimal stopping and stochastic games. Paper I extends the classical Bayesian sequential testing and detection problems for a Brownian motion to higher dimensions. We demonstrate unilateral concavity of the cost function and present its structural properties through various examples. LÄS MER
7. Positive vector bundles in complex and convex geometry
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns various aspects of the geometry of holomorphic vector bundles and their analytical theory which all, vaguely speaking, are related to the notion of positive curvature in general, and L^2-methods for the dbar-equation in particular. The thesis contains four papers. LÄS MER
8. Fixed parameter algorithms and other results for convex patitions
Sammanfattning : It is known that the minimum edge length convex partition MWCP of polygons with holes (an example of a PSLG) is NP-hard. Partitioning polygons with holes into the minimum number of convex polygons MNCP is also known to be NP-hard. LÄS MER
9. Risk and Rates of Time Preferences of Farm Households in Ethiopia: Implications on land investment decisions
Sammanfattning : Summary Paper 1: Risk Preferences of Farm Households in Ethiopia: Implications to Land Investment Decisions This paper measures farmers' attitude towards risk using an experimental approach for a sample of 262 farm households in Ethiopian highlands. We find more than 50 percent of the households in severe to extreme risk aversion category, unlike similar studies in Asia, where the vast majorities are found under moderate to intermediate risk aversion category.

10. Access selection in multi-system architectures : cooperative and competitive contexts
Sammanfattning : Future wireless networks will be composed of multiple radio access technologies (RATs). To benefit from these, users must utilize the appropriate RAT, and access points (APs). In this thesis we evaluate the efficiency of selection criteria that, in addition to path-loss and system bandwidth, also consider load. LÄS MER
