1. Utility Theory and Structural Analysis. Essays in the History of Swedish Economic Thought
Abstract : The first paper in this study is "Cassel and Revealed Preference Theory." The background to the paper is the general agreement that P. Samuelson originated the revealed preference theory of consumer behaviuor in 1938, but that there has not been such unanimous consent regarding possible precursors of the theory. READ MORE

2. Why Grundnorm? A Treatise on the Implications of Kelsen's Doctrine
Abstract : The treatise is concerned with the source-—the “Grund”--of the bindingness of law. I contend, first, that the “presupposition” of the basic norm, on a certain reading of Kelsen’s doctrine, can be understood as constituting a normative source of positive law, and, secondly, that this reading of Kelsen admits of addressing the issue of the (formal) legitimacy of supra-national and “directly applicable” rules and other norms.

3. Studies on Growth of SiC and BN : from Theory and Experiments
Abstract : Smaller cellular telephones and more energy-efficient windows are just two examples of technological advances which call for new materials. Materials chemists seek to develop new materials, both out of pure curiosity to see which combination of elements and structures can be obtained and in efforts to produce materials, with specific properties.

4. Topics in Mean-Field Control and Games for Pure Jump Processes
Abstract : This thesis is the collection of four papers addressing topics in stochastic optimal control, zero-sum games, backward stochastic differential equations, Pontryagin stochastic maximum principle and relaxed stochastic optimal control.In the first two papers, we establish existence of Markov chains of mean-field type, with countable state space and unbounded jump intensities.

5. Nonlocal Correlations in Density Functional Theory
Abstract : In Density Functional Theory, the widely used local and semilocal approximations to the exchange-correlation energy, the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximations (GGAs), lack a physical description of truly nonlocal correlation effects, which are absolutely essential for a proper description of soft matter. A scheme is proposed that provides a basis for systematic improvements beyond LDA and GGA, including correlations at intermediate and long range, giving rise to bonds of pure van der Waals type as well as more intricate, intermediate-range correlation bonds.
