• Information in Local Curvature: Three Papers on Adaptive Methods in Computational Statistics 

      Lunde, Berent Ånund Strømnes (PhD thesis UiS;562, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11)
      Advanced statistical computations have become increasingly important, as with the increased flexibility of models capturing complex relationships in new data and use-cases, comes increased difficulties of fitting procedures ...
    • Investigation of crystal field, magnetic frustration and magnetization reversal effects in 4f and 3d oxides 

      Kademane, Abhijit Bhat (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2022-09)
      This thesis deals with the investigation of single-ion excitations, magnetic frustration, and magnetization reversal phenomena. We have employed neutron scattering, μ+SR, and computational methods for these studies. Inverse ...
    • An Investigation of Second-Order Finite Volume Methods for Field-scale Reservoir Simulation 

      Kvashchuk, Anna (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2024)
      This thesis focuses on improving the accuracy of numerical simulation of flow in subsurface reservoirs by using second-order finite volume methods. The first-order finite volume method, commonly used in reservoir simulation, ...
    • A mathematical approach to Wick rotations 

      Helleland, Christer (PhD thesis UiS;536, Doctoral thesis, 2020-09)
      In this thesis we define Wick-rotations mathematically using pseudo-Riemannian geometry, and relate Wick-rotations to real geometric invariant theory (GIT). We discover some new results concerning the existence of Wick ...
    • Nil-Killing vector fields and Kundt structures 

      Aadne, Matthew Terje (PhD thesis UiS;529, Doctoral thesis, 2020-06)
      This thesis is based on three papers, for which two have been submitted for publication and one is published. A chapter presenting relevant background material is included giving convenient access to preliminary foreknowledge ...
    • Non-equilibrium quantum field dynamics in the early Universe 

      Eriksson, Magdalena (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      Inflation is the leading paradigm of early Universe cosmology. It provides compelling explanations of the observed near-homogeneity of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, the spatial flatness of the Universe ...
    • Properties of Paley–Wiener spaces: sampling sets, contractions, and geometry of the unit ball 

      Zlotnikov, Ilia (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023-03)
      This Thesis is based on five papers, four of which are published and one has been submitted for publication. For convenience of the reader, we also include one chapter that contains a brief overview of the results, some ...
    • Real-Time Complex Langevin - A Differential Programming Perspective 

      Alvestad, Daniel (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      In this thesis, I aim to find solutions to the NP-hard sign-problem that arises when modeling strongly correlated systems in real-time. I will use the complex Langevin (CLE) method, and address its problem of runaway ...
    • Signal analysis in gravitational wave data 

      Marcoccia, Paolo (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2024)
      In this thesis, I study the gravitational wave signals coming from compact objects on both present-stage, and future gravitational wave detectors. The thesis is based on 3 articles, which will be presented after two brief ...
    • Tales from Wonderland 

      Normann, Ben David (Doctoral thesis, 2020-06)
      Knowing that the Universe is quite isotropic, one may, as already discussed in Chapter 1, wonder how likely such a Universe is. We take the following research question. Question 1. Is the asymptotic future of a cosmology ...
