1. 1. Monotonicity formulas and applications in free boundary problems

   Författare :Anders Edquist; Henrik Shahgholian; Wolfgang Reichel; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Partial differential equations; PDE; Free boundary problems; Monotonicity formulas; Mathematical analysis; Analys;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of three papers devoted to the study of monotonicity formulas and their applications in elliptic and parabolic free boundary problems. The first paper concerns an inhomogeneous parabolic problem. LÄS MER

3. 2. Nonparametric Functional Estimation under Order Restrictions

   Författare :Dragi Anevski; Matematisk statistik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; monotonicity; convexity; deconvolution; kernel smoothing; NPMLE; long range dependence; greatest convex minorant; mixing; Density estimation; limit distribution.; regression; Mathematics; Matematik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of three papers (Papers A-C) on problems in nonparametric functional estimation, in particular density and regression function estimation and deconvolution, under order assumptions. Pointwise limit distribution results are stated for the obtained estimators, which include isotonic regression estimates, nonparametric maximum likelihood estimates of monotone densities, estimates of convex regression and density functions and deconvolution estimates.

4. 3. A Class of Renewal Processes in Random Environments

   Författare :David Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; point process; renewal process; random environment; coupling; regeneration; failure rate; Poisson embedding; asymptotics; stochastic domination; stochastic monotonicity; renewal process;

   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

5. 4. Externally positive systems : Analysis and control based on combinatorial polynomials

   Författare :Liam Hamed Taghavian; Mikael Johansson; Cristian R. Rojas; Fabio Pasqualetti; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Linear systems; External positivity; Optimization; Non-overshooting control; Combinatorics; Complete monotonicity; Majorization.; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Monotonic tracking is required in many control systems, including those that cannot tolerate any overshoots and undershoots in their closed-loop responses. Classical examples are found in vehicle cruise control and liquid tank level control. LÄS MER

7. 5. Interpolation of Hilbert spaces

   Författare :Yacin Ameur; Frank Hansen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics; Interpolation; Hilbert space; K-functional; K-monotonicity; Calderon couple; Pick function; matrix monotone function; K_2-functional; Löwner s and Donoghue s theorems.; MATEMATIK; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Mathematics; Matematik;

   Sammanfattning : (i) We prove that intermediate Banach spaces A, B with respect to arbitrary Hilbert couples H, K are exact interpolation iff they are exact K-monotonic, i.e. the condition f0∊A and the inequality K(t,g0;K)≤K(t,f0;H), t>0 imply g0∊B and ||g0||B≤||f0||A (K is Peetre's K-functional).
