Stochastic geometry with applications to river networks

Creator:

Peckham, Scott

Abstract:

Empirical observations have established connections between river network geometry and various hydrophysical quantities of interest. Since rivers can be decomposed into basic components known as links, one would like to understand the physical processes at work in link formation and maintenance. The author develops a natural stochastic geometric model for...

Masters Thesis
A new approach to pricing real options on swaps : a new solution technique and extension to the non-a.s. finite stopping realm

Creator:

Chu, Uran

Abstract:

This thesis consists of extensions of results on a perpetual American swaption problem. Companies routinely plan to swap uncertain benefits with uncertain costs in the future for their own benefits. Our work explores the choice of timing policies associated with the swap in the form of an optimal stopping problem....

Dissertation
Asymptotic enumeration for combinatorial structures

Creator:

Maxwell, Mark M.

Abstract:

There are many combinatorial structures which can be regarded as complexes of certain basic blocks. Familiar examples are involutions, finite graphs, and Stirling numbers of the first and second kind. Generating functions for these complexes have special forms relating the number of basic blocks to the number of complexes. Previous...

Dissertation
Some tree structure function asymptotics

Creator:

Zhang, Qing

Abstract:

We consider some mathematical problems involving the asymptotic analysis of rooted tree structures. River channel networks, patterns of electric discharge, eletrochemical deposition and botanical trees themselves are examples of such naturally occuring structures. In this thesis we will study the width function aymptotics of some random trees as well as...

Dissertation
Skew Brownian motion and branching processes applied to diffusion-advection in heterogenous media and fluid flow

Creator:

Ramirez, Jorge M.

Abstract:

This thesis contains three manuscripts addressing the application of stochastic processes to the analysis and solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) in mathematical physics. In the first manuscript, one dimensional diffusion and Burgers equation are considered. The Fourier transform of the solution to each PDE is represented as the expected...
