    La ingeniería y el descarte artefactual de la desalación solar de agua : las industrias de Las Salinas, Sierra Gorda y Oficina Domeyko (1872-1907) 

    Arellano-Escudero, Nelson (Date of defense: 2015-05-26)

    In the nineteenth century, at the Atacama Desert, a phenomenon of competition occurred between different industrial water desalination techniques, one of which had excellent results and a long life using solar energy. It ...

    Local and global phenomena in piecewise-defined systems: from big bang bifurcations to splitting of heteroclinic manifolds 

    Granados Corsellas, Albert (Date of defense: 2012-09-17)

    In the first part, we formally study the phenomenon of the so-called big bang bifurcations, both for one and two-dimensional piecewise-smooth maps with a single switching boundary. These are a special type of organizing ...

    Monodromías geométricas en familias de curvas de género 4 

    Berna Sepúlveda, Isabel (Date of defense: 2012-02-10)

    The goal of the thesis is the effective computation of the geometric monodromy, equivalently the monodromy in the fundamental group, for families of compact connected Riemann surfaces (complex algebraic curves) of genus ...

    On geometric quantisation of integrable systems with singularities 

    Barbieri Solha, Romero (Date of defense: 2013-10-21)

    This thesis shows an approach to geometric quantisation of integrable systems. It extends some results by Guillemin, Kostant, Rawnsley, Sniatycki and Sternberg in geometric quantisation, considering regular fibrations as ...

    Propagació d'informació en grafs i digrafs que modelen xarxes d'interconnexió simètriques 

    Mitjana, Margarida (Date of defense: 1999-03-11)

    L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi és aprofondir en l'estudi d'una certa família de dígrafs, els dígrafs de prefix-cicle, donant nous detalls sobre la seva estructura, noves maneres d'enfocar el seu estudi, i dissenyant bons esquemes ...

    Propagation in reaction-diffusion equations with fractional diffusion 

    Coulon, Anne-Charline (Date of defense: 2014-07-07)

    This thesis focuses on the long time behaviour of solutions to Fisher-KPP reaction-diffusion equations involving fractional diffusion. This type of equation arises, for example, in spatial propagation or spreading of ...

    Singular phenomena in the length spectrum of analytic convex curves 

    Tamarit Sariol, Anna (Date of defense: 2015-07-06)

    Consider the billiard map defined inside an analytic closed strictly convex curve Q. Given q>2 and 0<p<q relatively prime integers, there exist at least two (p,q)-periodic trajectories inside Q. The main goal of this thesis ...

    Study of invariant manifolds in two different problems : the Hopf-zero singularity and neural synchrony 

    Castejón i Compnay, Oriol (Date of defense: 2015-07-16)

    The main object of study of this thesis are invariant manifolds in the field of dynamical systems. We deal with two different and independent topics, namely, the study of exponentially small splitting of invariant manifolds ...

    Subespacios hiperinvariantes y característicos : una aproximación geométrica 

    Montoro López, Ma. Eulàlia (Date of defense: 2015-05-12)

    The aim of this thesis is to study the hyperinvariant and characteristic subspaces of a matrix, or equivalently, of an endomorphism of a finite dimensional vector space. We restrict ourselves to the case of matrices A with ...

    The equations of Rees algebras of ideals of almost-linear type 

    Muiños Bellester, Ferran (Date of defense: 2011-10-03)

    L’àlgebra de Rees R(I) d’un ideal I d’un anell Noetherià local R juga un paper molt important en àlgebra commutativa i geometria algebraica, perquè Proj(R(I)) és l’explosió (blowup) de l’esquema afí Spec(R) al llarg del ...
