1. Topics in discrete random structures
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents four papers on problems in discrete probability. A common theme of the articles is to take some class of discrete structures, impose some randomness, and then consider what happens asymptotically as the size of the structure tends to infinity. LÄS MER
2. A Class of Renewal Processes in Random Environments
Sammanfattning : This paper deals with a generalization of the class of renewal processes with absolutely continuous life length distribution, obtained by allowing a random environment to modulate the stochastic intensity of the renewal process. The random environment is a birth and death process with a finite state space. LÄS MER
3. A Continuum Framework for Modeling the Excitation–Contraction Coupling of Smooth Muscle
Sammanfattning : Excitation-contraction coupling of smooth muscle refers to a chain of coupled physiological processes which convert a stimulus to a mechanical response. These processes can be disassociated into ionic transport during cell membrane excitation, activation of myosin light chains, and muscle contraction caused by actin-myosin interaction (filament sliding).

4. Properties of the Discrete and Continuous Spectrum of Differential Operators
Sammanfattning : This thesis contains three scientific papers devoted to the study of different spectral theoretical aspects of differential operators in Hilbert spaces.The first paper concerns the magnetic Schrödinger operator (i∇ + A)2 in L2(ℝn). LÄS MER
5. On the Modelling and Numerics of Gradient-Regularized Plasticity Coupled to Damage
Sammanfattning : This thesis is primarily concerned with issues that arise in conjunction with the modelling of localization phenomena in solids using gradient-regularized plasticity with coupling to damage. The thermodynamic framework for a larger class of models is established, whereby gradients of the internal variables are included as arguments of the free energy. LÄS MER
