  1. 1. Geometric Discretization in Shape analysis

    Författare :Erik Jansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; compressible fluids; diffeomorphisms; residual neural networks; quantization; machine learning; Shape analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Discretizations in shape analysis is the main theme of this licentiate thesis, which comprises two papers.  The first paper considers  the problem of finding a parameterized time-dependent vector field that warps an initial set of points to a target set of points. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Approaching Mathematical Discourse : Two analytical frameworks and their relation to problem solving interactions

    Författare :Andreas Ryve; Kimmo Eriksson; Inger Wistedt; Anna Sfard; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Didactics of Mathematics; Mathematics Education; Analytical approaches; Communication; Concept maps; Contextualization; Discourse; Engineering students; Higher Education; Intentional analysis; Methodological framworks; Problem solving; Prospective teachers; Student teachers; Teacher education; Theoretical frameworks; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Matematik tillämpad matematik;

    Sammanfattning : The driving force of conducting the two studies presented in this thesis is to examine ways that conceptual understanding and problem solving could be part of mathematics teaching, and through that, part of students' mathematical knowledge. The specific aims of the thesis are: 1) to characterize the classroom discourse of two, apparently similar, problem solving courses in teacher education and 2) to discuss the possibilities of developing two analytical approaches - the communicational approach to cognition and the dialogical approach - used for studying mathematical discourse.

  4. 3. Efficient Solvers for Space-Time Discontinuous Galerkin Spectral Element Methods

    Författare :Lea Miko Versbach; Numerisk analys; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Discontinuous Galerkin Method; Spectral Element Method; Finite Volume Method; Implicit Schemes; Preconditioner; Multigrid Method; Space-Time; Lobatto IIIC Method; Local Fourier Analysis;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we study efficient solvers for space-time discontinuous Galerkin spectral element methods (DG-SEM). These discretizations result in fully implicit schemes of variable order in both spatial and temporal directions. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Permanence of age-structured populations in a spatio-temporal variable environment

    Författare :Sonja Radosavljevic; Vladimir Kozlov; Uno Wennergren; Bengt-Ove Turesson; Michael Chipot; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : It is widely recognized that various biotic and abiotic factors cause changes in the size of a population and its age distribution. Population structure, intra-specific competition, temporal variability and spatial heterogeneity are identified as the most important factors that, alone or in combination, influence population dynamics.

  7. 5. Solution to boundary-contact problems of elasticity in mathematical models of the printing-plate contact system for flexographic printing

    Författare :Nikolai Kotik; Yury Shestopalov; Stig Larsson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; boundary-contact problem; elasticity; integral equation; approximate decomposition; Applied mathematics; Tillämpad matematik; Matematik; Mathematics;

    Sammanfattning : Boundary-contact problems (BCPs) are studied within the frames ofclassical mathematical theory of elasticity and plasticityelaborated by Landau, Kupradze, Timoshenko, Goodier, Fichera andmany others on the basis of analysis of two- and three-dimensionalboundary value problems for linear partial differential equations.A great attention is traditionally paid both to theoreticalinvestigations using variational methods and boundary singularintegral equations (Muskhelishvili) and construction of solutionsin the form that admit efficient numerical evaluation (Kupradze).
