  2. 1. An empirical investigation of the strategic use of debt

    Author : Per Pettersson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Fiscal policy; Debt; Political economy;

    Abstract : In this paper I test two models of strategic debt behavior. The general idea is that if a government anticipates the possibility of defeat in the next election it will try to use the debt strategically in order to influence the policy of its successor. Pr.. READ MORE

  4. 2. Uncertainty Quantification and Numerical Methods for Conservation Laws

    Author : Per Pettersson; Jan Nordström; Gianluca Iaccarino; Gunilla Kreiss; Rémi Abgrall; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; uncertainty quantification; polynomial chaos; stochastic Galerkin methods; conservation laws; hyperbolic problems; finite difference methods; finite volume methods; Beräkningsvetenskap med inriktning mot numerisk analys; Scientific Computing with specialization in Numerical Analysis;

    Abstract : Conservation laws with uncertain initial and boundary conditions are approximated using a generalized polynomial chaos expansion approach where the solution is represented as a generalized Fourier series of stochastic basis functions, e.g. orthogonal polynomials or wavelets.

  7. 5. Sampling-based Path Planning for an Autonomous Helicopter

    Author : Per Olof Pettersson; Patrick Doherty; Lars Karlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Path Planning; Motion Planning; Helicopters; Probabilistic Roadmaps; Rapidly-exploring Random Trees; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : Many of the applications that have been proposed for future small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are at low altitude in areas with many obstacles. A vital component for successful navigation in such environments is a path planner that can find collision free paths for the UAV. READ MORE
