Magnetohydrodynamic waves in the solar corona : a mathematical investigation of the role of resonant absorption and phase mixing in coronal heating
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-29) - ThesisBackground: The Sun is a massive and highly dynamic ball of plasma, and oscillations in kinetic and magnetic energy are commonplace throughout its atmosphere. Since the plasma conducts electricity, we model the fluid using ... -
Coincidence and disparity of fractal dimensions
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-29) - ThesisWe investigate the dimension and structure of four fractal families: inhomogeneous attractors, fractal projections, fractional Brownian images, and elliptical polynomial spirals. For each family, particular attention is ... -
Computer-assisted proofs and the F[super](a,b,c) conjecture
(University of St Andrews, 2006) - ThesisThis thesis studies finitely presented groups and the process known as coset enumeration, which finds the index of a finitely generated subgroup in a finitely presented group, provided this index is finite. The Todd-Coxeter ... -
Transition region blinkers
(University of St Andrews, 2003) - ThesisBlinkers are small intensity enhancements seen in the transition region of the solar atmosphere. They are important because they give us a unique insight into the transition region which until recently, has not been studied ... -
Two-component relativistic wave equations for spin 1/2 particles
(University of St Andrews, 1974) - Thesis
