  2. 11. Essays on valuation of manufacturing flexibility : an option-pricing theory approach

    Author : Jens Bengtsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Flexibility in manufacturing operations is becoming increasingly more important to industrial firms due to e.g. increasing product demand volatility, internationalisation of markets and competition, and shorter product life cycles. READ MORE

  4. 12. The Quest for M-theory

    Author : Ulf Gran; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; supersymmetry; solitons; gauge symmetry; M-theory; string theory; duality; p-branes; D-branes; superspace; supergravity;

    Abstract : In ten dimensions, there exist five consistent string theories and in eleven dimensions there is a unique supergravity theory. When trying to find the fundamental theory of nature this is clearly an "embarrassment of riches". In the mid 90s, however, it was discovered that these theories are all related via a kind of transformation called duality. READ MORE

  5. 13. Pointwise Maximal Leakage : Robust, Flexible and Explainable Privacy

    Author : Sara Saeidian; Tobias J. Oechtering; Mikael Skoglund; Giulia Cervia; Catuscia Palamidessi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Privacy; information leakage; pointwise maximal leakage; disclosure prevention; inferential privacy; mechanism design.; Dataintegritet; informationsläckage; punktvist maximalt läckage; avslöjningsprevention; inferentiell dataintegritet; mekanismdesign.; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : For several decades now, safeguarding sensitive information from disclosure has been a key focus in computer science and information theory. Especially, in the past two decades, the subject of privacy has received significant attention due to the widespread collection and processing of data in various facets of society. READ MORE

  6. 14. Hopf and Frobenius algebras in conformal field theory

    Author : Carl Stigner; Jürgen Fuchs; Jens Fjelstad; Ingo Runkel; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; conformal field theory; category theory; Hopf algebra; Frobenius algebra; coends; mapping class group; defect lines; factorization constraints; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : There are several reasons to be interested in conformal field theories in two dimensions. Apart from arising in various physical applications, ranging from statistical mechanics to string theory, conformal field theory is a class of quantum field theories that is interesting on its own. First of all there is a large amount of symmetries. READ MORE

  7. 15. On the Logic of Theory Change : Extending the AGM Model

    Author : Eduardo Fermé; John Cantwell; David Makinson; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Logic of Theory Change. AGM model. Belief Bases; Iterated Models; Multiple belief change; AGM and defeasible Logic; Logic; Logik;

    Abstract : This thesis consists in six articles and a comprehensive summary. • The pourpose of the summary is to introduce the AGM theory of belief change and to exemplify the diversity and significance of the research that has been inspired by the AGM article in the last 25 years. READ MORE
