The Value of Caring About the Future: A Study on the Folk Theorems
(2025)In the world today, one has to cooperate in some capacity almost every day. However, cooperating is not always the most valuable thing to do for the individual and can be costly, so how can we sustain cooperation? ... -
The spread of rumors in networks

Milnor's exotic sphere
(2025)This thesis follows the construction by Milnor of a 7-manifold that is homeomorphic to the 7-sphere but not diffeomorphic. By gluing two solid tori along the boundary under a diffeomorphism you obtain a 7-manifold. Points ... -
Een beschrijving, controle en uitbreiding van het Capital Asset Pricing Model
(2025)Deze scriptie geeft eerst een wiskundige basis van het CAPM. Daarna wordt het model gestest met de praktijk. Als laatste wordt het model uitgebreid met behulp van Bayesiaande statistiek. -
Optimal Control of SEIR Models for Disease Pandemics using Symplectic Euler Method
(2025)This thesis focuses on disease modeling using single-group and multi-group SEIR models. The objective is to determine optimal control strategies. In order to apply optimal control strategies, a cost function is defined. ... -
Enumerating self-avoiding walks by k-splitting
(2025)In this thesis we introduce a new method to count the number of self-avoiding walks of a certain length. This method is called k-splitting and is based on the length-doubling en length-tripling method. The k-splitting ... -
The Mordell-Weil theorem for elliptic curves
(2025)The main goal of this thesis is to prove the Mordell-Weil theorem for elliptic curves. That is, that the set of $K$-rational points on an elliptic curve form a finitely generated abelian group under the natural addition, ... -
Extremal eigenvalues of infinite tridiagonal matrices
(2025)Although tridiagonal matrices have many applications, such as in linear models where objects are influenced only by their neighbouring objects, few methods exist to compute their eigenvalues analytically. The present thesis ... -
Improving Respondent-Driven Sampling

Proof Systems and the Correspondence between Cut Elimination in Sequent Calculus and Normal forms in Natural Deduction
(2025)Normalisation and cut elimination are methods used to perform combinatoral analysis on the structure of formal proofs, while translations between proof systems are used to analyse and interpret the meaning of proofs. In ... -
Algebraïsche theorie van lineaire cellulaire automaten
(2025)Vaak worden resultaten met betrekking tot cellulaire automaten gevonden door middel van computerexperimenten. Ook fixpunten van cellulaire automaten worden door experimenteren gevonden. In deze scriptie zullen we bepaalde ... -
Optimal matrix distribution by simulated annealing for a parallel sparse matrix-vector multiplication
(2025)In parallel Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication (SpMV), finding an efficient matrix partitioning is crucial to minimize communication cost. This thesis explores the use of Simulated Annealing to find optimal matrix ... -
Constructing Morse Homology
(2025)In this thesis we discuss the construction of the Morse homology groups for compact orientable manifolds. Morse homology is a way of describing information of manifolds in the form of algebraic groups, called the Morse ... -
Groups of polynomial growth
(2025)In this thesis, we prove Gromov's theorem: if a finitely generated group has polynomial growth then it contains a nilpotent subgroup of finite index. We follow Gromov's original proof from his 1981 paper, "Groups of ...
