  2. 1. Ruin probabilities and first passage times for self-similar processes

    Author : Zbigniew Michna; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Simulation of Ruin Probability; Monte Carlo Method; Skorokhod Topology; Weak Convergence; Rice s Formula; Fluid Model; Risk Model; Scaled Brownian Motion; Long Range Dependence; Fractional Brownian Motion; Renewal Process; Levy Motion; Stable Process; Self-Similar Process; Gaussian Process; Ruin Probability; First Passage Time; Exponential Bound; Picands Constant.; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates ruin probabilities and first passage times for self-similar processes. We propose self-similar processes as a risk model with claims appearing in good and bad periods. Then, in particular, we get the fractional Brownian motion with drift as a limit risk process.

  4. 2. Impact of Metallic Projectiles on a Ceramic Target Surface : Transition Between Interface Defeat and Penetration

    Author : René Renström; Bengt Lundberg; Patrik Lundberg; Nils-Gunnar Ohlson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Engineering physics; Projectile; Cylindrical; Conical; Yield strength; Compressibility; Perfect flow; Self-similar flow; Interface defeat; Dwell; Teknisk fysik; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot hållfasthetslära; Engineering Science with specialization in Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to gain understanding of the load on flat target surfaces produced by projectile impact. Models are proposed from which upper and lower bounds can be derived for the transition be-tween interface defeat and normal penetration. READ MORE

  5. 3. Turbulent Shear Flow Experiments: Design of Natural Convection Rig and LDA Measurement in Swirling Jets

    Author : Abolfazl Shiri; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Self-Similar Solution; Natural Convection Boundary Layer; Axisymmetric Jet; Laser Doppler Anemometry; Swirl Number;

    Abstract : This work consist of two sections. In the first part, a facility has been installed and modified from an existing rig in order to measure velocity and temperature field of axisymmetric turbulent natural convection boundary layers. With using laser doppler anemometry and cold wire resistance thermometry. READ MORE

    Abstract : This thesis consists of an introduction and a summary, followed by two papers, both of them on the topic of function spaces on fractals. Paper I: Andreas Brodin, Pointwise Convergence of Haar type Wavelets on Self-Similar Sets, Manuscript. READ MORE

  7. 5. Combinatorial and analytical problems for fractals and their graph approximations

    Author : Konstantinos Tsougkas; Anders Karlsson; Anders Öberg; Ben Hambly; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fractal graphs; energy Laplacian; Kusuoka measure; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : The recent field of analysis on fractals has been studied under a probabilistic and analytic point of view. In this present work, we will focus on the analytic part developed by Kigami. The fractals we will be studying are finitely ramified self-similar sets, with emphasis on the post-critically finite ones. READ MORE
