IS-TOPP-Toppfinans. av M.Curie-stipend

Approximate methods for change of representation and their applications in CAD

The project relates to methods for conversion between the two main representations of curves and surfaces, the implicit and the parametric form. Parametric representations are very useful for designers when creating geometry. However, implicit representat ions encompass a larger class of shapes a...

IS-MOBIL-Mobilitetsprogr.f.utl.Ph.D-stu

Investigating Isocurvature Perturbations and non-Gaussianities in a Two-Field System with Generalised Kinetic Terms

The physics of the very early universe is well described by the inflationary paradigm, a period of accelerated expansion of the universe driven by vacuum energy. Quantum fluctuations give rise to curvature perturbations that act as the seed for large-scal e structure. One of the simplest models o...

EVITA-eVitenskap

A JOint Numerical Sea MODelling conference, JONSMOD 2008, to be held in Bergen 23-26 June 2008

The JONSMOD, JOint Numerical Sea MODelling, conferences were originally formed out of research programmes in the 1970s for the North Sea involving both measurements and numerical modelling of flow and waves in the North Sea. In 1981, Phil Dyke became the chairman, and he has since then been chair...

FRINAT-Matematikk og naturvitenskap

Nonlinear wind-waves, their modification by tidal currents, and application to Norwegian coastal waters.

This project aims at making fundamental advances in the understanding of wave climate in coastal waters, with particular application to Norwegian waters that can have strong inhomogeneous tidal currents. This will be achieved by developing and using suit able phase-resolving deterministic nonlin...

F-MAT-Naturvitenskap, matematikk

Viscosity methods, Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations, and applications to finance

Hamilton-jacobi-Bellman equations arise in optimal control theory for stochastic processes. This theory has many important applications, e.g. within finance. An important example is pricing of options. A popular way to solve optimal control problems, has solving the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-...
