1. Ghosts and machines : regularized variational methods for interactive simulations of multibodies with dry frictional contacts
Sammanfattning : A time-discrete formulation of the variational principle of mechanics is used to provide a consistent theoretical framework for the construction and analysis of low order integration methods. These are applied to mechanical systems subject to mixed constraints and dry frictional contacts and impacts---machines. LÄS MER
2. Variational Problems and Level Set Methods in Computer Vision - Theory and Applications
Sammanfattning : Current state of the art suggests the use of variational formulations for solving a variety of computer vision problems. This thesis deals with such variational problems which often include the optimization of curves and surfaces. LÄS MER
3. Variational Methods in Combinatorial Optimization and Phylogeny Reconstruction
Sammanfattning : Algorithms based on the variational approach, as used in statistical physics, are developed. For constraint satisfaction problems a novel cost function, based on information-theoretic arguments, is introduced, and an algorithm similar to the mean-field annealing algorithm is proposed. LÄS MER
4. Multidimensional inverse problems in imaging and identification using low-complexity models, optimal mass transport, and machine learning
Sammanfattning : This thesis, which mainly consists of six appended papers, primarily considers a number of inverse problems in imaging and system identification.In particular, the first two papers generalize results for the rational covariance extension problem from one to higher dimensions.

5. Adaptive variational multiscale methods
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we present a new adaptive multiscale method for solving elliptic partial differential equations. The method is based on numerical solution of decoupled local fine scale problems on patches. LÄS MER
