Economic-based growth is increasingly becoming dependent on the wide range of intangible investments, known as knowledge-based capital (KBC) investments. Its rapid asset size growth has called for transparency in the ...

The failure of sensors to perceive the environment correctly is one of the primary sources of risk that needs to be quantified in the development of active safety features for autonomous vehicles. By extracting training ...

Interest in the field of spectral geometry, the study of how analytic and geometric properties of manifolds are related, was sparked when Marc Kac in 1966 asked the question “can one hear the shape of a drum?”. One of ...

Abstract In this thesis, models have been formulated and mathematical optimization methods developed for the heterogeneous vehicle routing problem with a very large set of available vehicle types, called many-hVRP. ...

The thesis introduces an innovative way of decreasing the computational cost of approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) simulations when implemented via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Bayesian inference has enjoyed ...

The Ribaucour transformation classically relates surfaces via a sphere congruence that preserves lines of curvature. In this report, we generalise the concept to submanifolds of arbitrary dimension and codimension, and ...

We look at numerical methods for simulation of stochastic differential equations exhibiting volatility induced stationarity. This is a property of the process which means that the stationary behaviour is mostly imposed ...

Due to the nancial crisis of 2007, regulatory authorities engaged in a fundamental reconsideration of how they approach nancial regulation and supervision. Therefore, that nancial crisis caused the need of a signi ...

Abstract Software development with continuous integration changes needs frequent testing for assessment. Analyzing the test output manually is time-consuming and automating this process could be beneficial to an ...
