  1. 16. Quantum State Analysis : Probability theory as logic in Quantum mechanics

    Författare :Anders Månsson; Anders Karlsson; Gunnar Björk; Ingemar Bengtsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; quantum; quantum mechanics; state; state analysis; probability; probability theory; logic; Photonics; Fotonik;

    Sammanfattning : Quantum mechanics is basically a mathematical recipe on how to construct physical models. Historically its origin and main domain of application has been in the microscopic regime, although it strictly seen constitutes a general mathematical framework not limited to this regime. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Studies in Mortgage Pricing and Finance Theory

    Författare :Stefan Toll; Bengt Turner; Thomas Lindh; Timothy Riddiough; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Mortgage pricing; Finance theory; Reverse mortgages; Optimal loan contracts; Credit risk; Nationalekonomi; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of three self-contained essays.Essay 1 examines the question of why reverse or participating mortgages have not been as much in demand as predicted. A theoretical framework is derived for evaluating the expected utility associated with a reverse or participating mortgage. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Markov Regime Switching in Economic Time Series

    Författare :Ulf Erlandsson; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Nationalekonomi; ekonometri; ekonomisk teori; ekonomiska system; ekonomisk politik; forecasting; Markov switching; exchange rates; interest rates; business cycle; economic policy; economic systems; economic theory; econometrics; Economics; currency crisis;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation studies statistical properties and applications of the Markov switching models for economic time series in five separate papers. The two main statistical themes are (i) the task of choosing the number of states to use in the model, and (ii) inference on time-varying transition probabilities. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Aspects of Waiting and Contracting in Game Theory

    Författare :Peter Helgesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Game Theory; War of Attrition; ESS; N-Player; Principal-Agent Problem; Stochastic Maximum Principle; Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle; Mean- Variance; Time Inconsistent Utility Functions; Game Theory;

    Sammanfattning : The topic of this thesis concerns two selected problem in game theory; the Nplayer War of Attrition and the Principal-Agent problem. The War of Attrition is a well established game theoretic model that was first introduced in the 2-player case by John Maynard Smith. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Theory and Application of the Mechanics of Graphene Sheets

    Författare :Juan Atalaya; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Graphene; Elasticity Theory; Nonlinear Dynamics and NEM-based Mass Spectrometry.;

    Sammanfattning : Starting from an atomistic approach, I derive a hierarchy of successively more simplified continuum elasticity descriptions for modeling the mechanical properties of suspended graphene sheets. It is shown that graphene sheets with clamped edges have an intrinsic nonlinear mechanical response due to a variable tension induced by stretching. LÄS MER
