1. Duality-based adaptive finite element methods with application to time-dependent problems
Abstract : To simulate real world problems modeled by differential equations, it is often not sufficient to consider and tackle a single equation. Rather, complex phenomena are modeled by several partial dierential equations that are coupled to each other. READ MORE

2. Mathematics teachers' conceptions about equations
Abstract : The aim of this study is to describe and to clarify the mathematics teachers’ subject matter and pedagogical content conceptions about equations. As the basis of these conceptions, the teachers’ experiences of the concept learning of equations from their own school time are described. READ MORE

3. Prop profiles of compatible Poisson and Nijenhuis structures
Abstract : A prop profile of a differential geometric structure is a minimal resolution of an algebraic prop such that representations of this resolution are in one-to-one correspondence with structures of the given type. We begin this thesis with a detailed account of the algebraic tools necessary to construct prop profiles; we treat operads and props, and resolutions of these through Koszul duality. READ MORE

4. Automorphic string amplitudes
Abstract : This thesis explores the non-perturbative properties of higher derivative interactions appearing in the low-energy expansion of four-graviton scattering amplitudes in toroidal compactifications of type IIB string theory. We summarise the arguments for finding such higher derivative corrections in terms of automorphic forms using U-duality, supersymmetry and string perturbation theory. READ MORE

5. Contributions to dual subgradient optimization and maintenance scheduling
Abstract : This thesis analyses two topics within the area of mathematical optimization; dual subgradient methods and maintenance optimization. The first two papers consider dual subgradient methods, and the third paper considers maintenance optimization. READ MORE
