    L'objectiu principal d'aquesta tesi és l'estudi d'un nou invariant per a C*-àlgebres, anomenat el semigrup Cu1. La classificació de C*-àlgebres ha guanyat molt terreny durant les últimes dècades. En aquests treballs destaquen ...

    A satisfiability modulo theories approach to constraint programming 

    Suy Franch, Josep (Date of defense: 2012-12-20)

    In this thesis we focus on solving CSPs using SMT. Essentially, what we do is reformulating CSPs into SMT. The obtained results allow us to conclude that state-of-the-art SMT solvers are a robust tool to solve CSPs. We ...

    A theoretical and computational study of the active self-organization of nematic patterns in thin cytoskeletal layers and their effect on curvature 

    Mirza, Waleed Ahmad (Date of defense: 2023-02-16)

    (English)The structure and dynamics of important biological systems, ranging from cytoskeletal gels to tissues, are controlled by an interplay between activity, dissipation, nematic order, density, and geometry. In particular, ...

    A type-theoretic approach to proof support for algebraic design frameworks

    Cot Sanz, Albert (Date of defense: 2003-12-17)

    Certes malalties neurològiques estan associades amb problemes en els sistemes de neurotransmissió. Una aproximació a l'estudi d'aquests sistemes és la tomografia d'emissió SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) ...

    Action Selection in Cooperative Robot Soccer using Case-Based Reasoning 

    Ros Espinoza, Raquel (Date of defense: 2008-03-31)

    La tasca de dissenyar el mecanisme de presa de decisions d'un equip de robots és un gran repte, no només per la complexitat de l'entorn en el qual els robots realitzen les seves tasques, que comporta incertesa, dinamicitat ...

    Active and interactive learning strategies for error-tolerant graph matching
