  • Rigidity of Vertex-Regular Actions on Fuchsian Buildings

    Creator:
    Smith, Samantha T.
    Abstract:
    We present a method by which torsion-free groups of automorphisms of a 2-dimensional hyperbolic building which act simply transitively on the vertex set can be constructed, and prove that any such group can be obtained by this construction. The method produces groups defined by finite presentations with strong small cancellation...

  • Optimal harvesting of continuous age structured populations

    Creator:
    Smith, Steven J.
    Abstract:
    We investigate the optimal harvesting strategies for McKendrick type population models. Models of this type endow the population with a continuous age structure. They consist of a partial differential equation with a boundary condition which involves an integral of the solution. We study two problems, the first concerns the yield...
