In recent years a new variant of Drift Analysis was introduced in the field of computational complexity called Level Based Analysis. The Level Based Analysis provides a one-size-fits-all framework to analyze Evolutionary ...

During this thesis, we develop three methods to assess the error of a climate model by comparing it to observations. The first consists of averaging over a chosen spatial region, and comparing the resulting time series. ...

We bekijken vier verschillende methoden om een aantal eigenparen van matrices van grote dimensies te benaderen. De machtsmethode is geschikt om het eigenpaar met de eigenwaarde met de grootste modulus te benaderen, indien ...

Onderzoek naar de relatie tussen handhygiëne en isolatie van patiënten, de werkdruk van het verplegend personeel en de verspreiding van ziekenhuisbacteriën. Dit is onderzocht met behulp van stochastische en deterministische ...

A Boolean algebra is a structure which behaves very much like first order propositional logic. In this thesis, we examine the technique of using Boolean algebras to create different models of set theory. This concept was ...

In this thesis we solve the opting pricing problem using two techniques: martingales and stochastic differential equations. We begin with repeating measure theory and probability. Then we discuss Brownian motion and give ...

In economic chaos theory, results often follow from the analysis of discrete dynamical systems. In this thesis, we review three methods for identifying chaos in continuous dynamical systems: the analysis of Lyapunov ...
