1. Digital Geometry, Combinatorics, and Discrete Optimization
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of two parts: digital geometry and discrete optimization. In the first part we study the structure of digital straight line segments. We also study digital curves from a combinatorial point of view. LÄS MER
2. Global Optimization in Computer Vision: Convexity, Cuts and Approximation Algorithms
Sammanfattning : Computer vision is today a wide research area including topics like robot vision, image analysis, pattern recognition, medical imaging and geometric reconstruction problems. Over the past decades there has been a rapid development in understanding and modeling different computer vision applications. LÄS MER
3. On the Pricing of Path-Dependent Options and Related Problems
Sammanfattning : The thesis considers the pricing of European path-dependent options in a multi-dimensional Black-Scholes model. The thesis focuses mainly on the three different classes of path-dependent options: barrier, Asian, and lookback options. The thesis consists of eight chapters. LÄS MER
4. Short Term Operation of District Heating Systems: An Application of Mathematical Programming
Sammanfattning : This work treats the introduction of rigorous optimisation methods as a decision aid in the short term operation of district heating systems. The conditions for operation of district heating systems are investigated. Arguments for the necessity of a systems model that is capable of handling the discrete nature of the problem are presented.

5. Experimental Design and Updating of Finite Element Models
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with two partly related topics: model updating and actuator/sensor placement concerning finite element (FE) models of large, flexible mechanical structures.The importance of accurate dynamical FE models of mechanical structures in, e.g., aviation/aerospace applications are steadily increasing.
