1. Information geometries in black hole physics
Abstract : In this thesis we aim to develop new perspectives on the statistical mechanics of black holes using an information geometric approach (Ruppeiner and Weinhold geometry). The Ruppeiner metric is defined as a Hessian matrix on a Gibbs surface, and provides a geometric description of thermodynamic systems in equilibrium. READ MORE

2. Lefschetz properties and Jordan types of Artinian algebras
Abstract : This thesis contains six papers concerned with studying the Lefschetz properties and Jordan types of linear forms for graded Artinian algebras. Lefschetz properties and Jordan types carry information about the ranks of multiplication maps by linear forms on graded Artinian algebras. READ MORE

3. Novel Hessian approximations in optimization algorithms
Abstract : There are several benefits of taking the Hessian of the objective function into account when designing optimization algorithms. Compared to using strictly gradient-based algorithms, Hessian-based algorithms usually require fewer iterations to converge. READ MORE

4. Real and complex Monge-Ampère equations, statistical mechanics and canonical metrics
Abstract : Recent decades has seen a strong trend in complex geometry to study canonical metrics and the way they relate to geometric analysis, algebraic geometry and probability theory. This thesis consists of four papers each contributing to this field. The first paper sets up a probabilistic framework for real Monge-Ampère equations on tori. READ MORE

5. Numerical Algorithms for Optimization Problems in Genetical Analysis
Abstract : The focus of this thesis is on numerical algorithms for efficient solution of QTL analysis problem in genetics.Firstly, we consider QTL mapping problems where a standard least-squares model is used for computing the model fit. READ MORE
