Um, Laurence Emilie (Date of defense: 2015-05-25)
Information is such a valuable good of our time. Given that the transmission of information has always been subject to precision problems, knowing the obstacles existing between the transmitter and the receiver, eventual ...
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 ...
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 ...
Zhang, Kuang (Date of defense: 2015-06-10)
Graphene deposited on a substrate often exhibits out-of-plane deformations with different features and origins. Networks of localized wrinkles have been observed in graphene synthesized through CVD, as a result of compressive ...
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 ...
Hashemian, Behrooz (Date of defense: 2015-05-08)
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. ...
Sánchez Martín, Patricia (Date of defense: 2015-06-29)
Most galaxies have a warped shape when they are seen from an edge-on point of view. In this work we apply dynamical system methods to find an explanation of this phenomenon that agrees with its abundance among galaxies, ...
Simon López, Adrià (Date of defense: 2015-07-06)
En l'article [CKSTT] els autors proven una inestabilitat global per a l'equació de Schrödinger cúbica desenfocant en el tor 2-dimensional. Per aconseguir-ho, detecten un sistema finit d'equacions diferencials ordinàries, ...
Teixidó Roman, Miguel (Date of defense: 2015-03-27)
The Marle-Guillemin-Sternberg (MGS) model is an extremely important tool for the theory of Hamiltonian actions on symplectic manifolds. It has been extensively used to prove many local results both in symplectic geometry ...
Ortego Martínez, María Isabel (Date of defense: 2015-02-04)
The estimation of occurrence probabilities of extremal quantities is essential in the study of hazards associated with natural phenomena. The extremal quantities of interest usually correspond to phenomena characterized ...
Dall, Aaron Matthew (Date of defense: 2015-02-25)
The main objects of study in this thesis are matroids. In particular we are interested in three particular classes matroids: regular matroids, arithmetic matroids, and internally perfect matroids. Of these families, regular ...
Ibáñez Marcelo, Esther (Date of defense: 2014-12-19)
In this thesis we develop a multi-scale model of the evolutionary dynamics of a population of cells, which accounts for the mapping between genotype and phenotype as determined by a model of the gene regulatory network. ...
Vera Piquero, Carlos de (Date of defense: 2014-11-07)
This thesis explores one of the essential arithmetical and diophantine properties of Shimura curves and their Atkin-Lehner quotients: the existence of rational points on these families of curves over both number fields and ...
Rabiei, Nima (Date of defense: 2014-10-27)
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 ...
Prieto Martínez, Pere Daniel (Date of defense: 2014-10-02)
Geometrical physics is a relatively young branch of applied mathematics that was initiated by the 60's and the 70's when A. Lichnerowicz, W.M. Tulczyjew and J.M. Souriau, among many others, began to study various topics ...
Lorenzo García, Elisa (Date of defense: 2014-09-10)
This thesis explores the explicit computation of twists of curves. We develope an algorithm for computing the twists of a given curve assuming that its automorphism group is known. And in the particular case in which the ...
Font Martínez, Francesc (Date of defense: 2014-07-18)
In this thesis we develop and analyse mathematical models describing phase change phenomena linked with novel technological applications. The models are based on modifications to standard phase change theory. The mathematical ...
Serra Montolí, Joaquim (Date of defense: 2014-06-17)
The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is mainly concerned with regularity issues for integro-differential (or nonlocal) elliptic and parabolic equations. In the same way that densities of particles with ...
Ros, Xavier (Date of defense: 2014-06-19)
The main topic of the thesis is the study of Elliptic PDEs. It is divided into three parts: (I) integro-differential equations, (II) stable solutions to reaction-diffusion problems, and (III) weighted isoperimetric and ...
Rosa Ibarra, Abraham de la (Date of defense: 2014-06-16)
The goal of this thesis is to show global instability or Arnold's diffusion in the elliptic restricted three body problem (ERTBP) by proving the existence of pseudo-trajectories diffusing along the phase space for certain ...
