Abstract:
In the research undertaken a finite element formulation has been developed for an elastodynamic problem using a least squares approach. The special requirements of the problem demanded a study of suitability of various elements. The emergence of the final element is a result of both theoretical and numerical study of three different elements. The approximation function is assumed on the basis of the order of the governing differential equations. Then the square of the error resulting from the approximate solution is minimized over the entire domain as well as the boundaries in the same functio

We derive two hierarchies of 1+1 dimensional soliton-type integrable systems from two spectral problems associated with the Lie algebra of the special orthogonal Lie group SO(3,R). By using the trace identity, we formulate Hamiltonian structures for the resulting equations. Further, we show that each of these equations can be written in Hamiltonian form in two distinct ways, leading to the integrability of the equations in the sense of Liouville. We also present finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems by means of symmetry constraints and discuss their integrability based on the existence of suf

When solving optimization problems, the importance of speed can not be emphasized enough for many organizations. One company encountered a major performance difference when solving a problem with the same integer programming solver, in two different locations. The difference was shown not to be caused by the environment of the solver, but rather a reformulation of the problem. However, the reformulation did not improve the performance of an expanded version of the problem.

Standard Deviation is a commonly used risk measures in risk management and portfolio optimization. Optimal portfolios have normally been computed using standard deviation as the measure of choice for risk. However, ever since the Great Recession, it has come up short in capturing tail risk leading practitioners and investors alike to look for alternative measures such as Value-at-Risk (VaR) and conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR). Further, given that it is a coherent risk measure and that it allows for a simplification of the portfolio optimization process, CVaR is preferable to VaR. This thesis

Spin dependent electron transport in chiral molecules, the so-called chirality induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, have attracted much attention over the past few years.

Several model Hamiltonians has been proposed to describe the CISSS effect, and while they can yield spin polarization agreeing with the experimentally observed magnitudes, they are relying on unrealistic values o

Abstract:
This study investigated the relationship among three high school mathematics teachers definitions and beliefs about mathematical problem solving, their problem solving practices and how they teach mathematical problem solving. Each teacher was interviewed three times and observed once during a problem solving lesson. Data comprised of transcriptions of audio tapes, field notes, and completed problem solving checklists were used to prepare the case studies. While the definitions, practices and teaching of the teachers varied, the findings were consistent within each case. The results suggest th

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the Resident Scheduling Problem (RSP) in which a good schedule is desired that will meet both departmental requirements and residents' preferences. Three scenarios that represent most situations and account for various departmental requirements and needs are described. Although similar scheduling problems are considered in the literature, no analysis exists that adequately deals with this specific problem. The problem is modeled as a mixed-integer program (MIP) and heuristic solution procedures are developed for the different identified scheduling scenarios. Thes

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the optimum operating conditions in a power system. The various aspects of the problem are modelled and solved as a number of optimization problems applying linear programming techniques. A generalized linear mathematical model has been developed for this purpose. A two-stage formulation is adopted to represent the various problems considered. In each case one power system quantity is chosen as an objective function to be optimized under a number of constraints and operating limits relating to the power system relationships and upper and lower bounds on the variab
