Generation and presentations of semigroup constructions : Bruck-Reilly extensions and P-semigroups
(University of St Andrews, 2006) - ThesisIn this thesis we study problems regarding finite presentability of Bruck-Reilly extensions, finite generation of the underlying monoids, and finite generation of P-unitary inverse semigroups. The first main question we ... -
Multi-dimensional modelling of physiologically and temporally structured populations
(University of St Andrews, 2004) - ThesisPhysiologically-structured population counts are sometimes the only available source of information about a population. Because such data are often sparse and noisy, they are difficult to model. Moreover the parameters of ... -
Quasi-Newton methods for unconstrained function minimization and the solution of systems of nonlinear equations
(University of St Andrews, 1974) - ThesisThis thesis is concerned with the unconstrained minimization of a function of n variables, and, to a lesser extent, with the numerical solution of systems of nonlinear equations. The first chapter contains an account of ... -
Multifractal analysis and modelling of rainfall
(University of St Andrews, 2000) - ThesisIn this thesis we study novel aspects of the multifractal properties of rainfall. Our aim is to use multifractal methods to improve the representation of rainfall distributions in climate simulations, in particular by ... -
Techniques for computing exact Hausdorff measure with application to a Sierpinski sponge in R³
