Multiple-criteria or multiple-attribute group decision-making is a sub-field of operations research that seek to find a common and representative solution given the preferences elicited by a pre-defined group, over a set ...
Electronic voting presents many challenges due to its multiple security requirements. Some of the challenges are related to guaranteeing voters' privacy and system's transparency, which are hard to satisfy simultaneously. ...
A graph where every vertex has three neighboring vertices is a cubic graph. An edge-coloring is an assignment of colors to the edges of a graph in such a way that the edges incident to a vertex have no repeated colors. An ...
Decision-making is an active field of research. Specifically, in recent times, a lot of contributions have been presented on decision-making under linguistic assessments. To tackle this kind of processes, hesitant fuzzy ...
Limit analysis is relevant in many practical engineering areas such as the design of mechanical structure or the analysis of soil mechanics. The theory of limit analysis assumes a rigid, perfectly-plastic material to model ...
This thesis aims at improving the convergence of iterative solvers, used for algebraic systems coming from the discretization of partial differential equations (PDE), in the context of large scale simulations and high ...
Collective variables (CVs) are low-dimensional representations of the state of a complex system, which help us rationalize molecular conformations and sample free energy landscapes with molecular dynamics simulations. ...
This PhD thesis focuses on the development of mathematical and computational models for flexoelectricity, a relatively new electromechanical coupling that is present in any dielectric at the micron and sub-micron scales. ...
En primer lloc, s'evidencia que el disseny que involucra grafisme es pot analitzar com articulat en dos nivells o etapes, un de concepció, intel·lectual, i un altre d'execució, manual o físic, ambdós sempre en interrelació ...
After a myocardial infarction, the affected areas of the cardiac tissue suffer changes in their electrical and mechanical properties. This post-infarction scar tissue has been related with a particular type of arrhythmia: ...
This thesis presents new applications of Gale duality to the study of polytopes with extremal combinatorial properties. It consists in two parts. The first one is devoted to the construction of neighborly polytopes and ...
This thesis is focused on particle transport in the context of high computing performance (HPC) in its widest range, from the numerical modeling to the physics involved, including its parallelization and post-process. The ...
In many applications, one would like to perform calculations on smooth manifolds of dimension d embedded in a high-dimensional space of dimension D. Often, a continuous description of such manifold is not known, and instead ...
Discrete Mathematics, and in particular Graph Theory, has gained a lot of popularity during the last 7 decades. Among the many branches in Graph Theory, graph labelings has experimented a fast development, in particular ...
Structure is fundamental in shaping the types of computations that neuronal circuits can perform. Explaining the laws that determine the connectivity properties of brain networks and their implications in neuronal dynamics ...
Fracture mechanics of brittle materials has focused on bulk materials with isotropic surface energy. In this situation different physical principles for crack path selection are very similar or even equivalent. The situation ...
We examine a classical problem in soft-matter physics: the specific adhesion between deformable elastic objects, such as vesicles, mediated by mobile adhesion molecules. This problem is relevant to cell-cell adhesion. To ...
