    • The Expectation Propagation Algorithm for use in Approximate Bayesian Analysis of Latent Gaussian Models 

      Skar, Christian (Master thesis, 2010)
      Analyzing latent Gaussian models by using approximate Bayesian inference methods has proven to be a fast and accurate alternative to running time consuming Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations. A crucial part of these ...
    • The Extended Golay Codes as Ideals 

      Hov, Erlend (Master thesis, 2016)
      We define a multiplication on the ambient spaces of the extended binary and ternary Golay codes that results in these codes becoming left ideals in their ambient spaces. We use fixed-point-free permutation groups to define ...
    • The Fractal Burgers Equation - Theory and Numerics 

      Sømme, Øystein (Master thesis, 2012)
      We study the Cauchy problem for the 1-D fractal Burgers equation, which is a non-linear and non-local scalar conservation law used to for instance model overdriven detonation in gases. Properties of classical solutions of ...
    • The Fundamental Group of SO(3) 

      Mork, Eirik Andreas (Master thesis, 2014)
      We study fundamental groups of topological spaces. In particular we will compute the fundamental group of SO(3), the group of rotations in three dimensions, by studying covering spaces. We will see that the fundamental ...
    • The general peakon-antipeakon solution for the Camassa-Holm equation 

      Grunert, Katrin; Holden, Helge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      We compute explicitly the peakon-antipeakon solution of the Camassa– Holm equation ut − utxx + 3uux − 2uxuxx − uuxxx = 0 in the non-symmetric and α-dissipative case. The solution experiences wave breaking in finite time, ...
    • The Generalized Empirical Interpolation Method 

      Arnesen, Martin (Master thesis, 2014)
      The empirical interpolation method is an interpolation scheme with problem dependent basis functions and interpolation nodes, originally developed for parameter dependent functions. It was developed in connection with the ...
    • The Handling of Noise and Security of Two Fully Homomorphic Encryption Schemes 

      Hovd, Martha Norberg (Master thesis, 2017)
      Noise is introduced as a means to ensure security of encryption schemes in general, and fully homomorphic encryption schemes in particular. Strategies to control the growth of this and thereby guarantee correct decryption ...
    • The Heterogeneous Multiscale Method and the Spinning Top 

      Fredbo, Maren (Master thesis, 2011)
      The heterogeneous multiscale method (HMM) was proposed by E and Engquist and is considered to be an efficient method for problems with multiple time scales. We give a short introduction to the HMM for multiscale problems ...
    • The homology of the Higman–Thompson groups 

      Szymik, Markus; Wahl, Nathalie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      We prove that Thompson’s group \mathrm {V} is acyclic, answering a 1992 question of Brown in the positive. More generally, we identify the homology of the Higman–Thompson groups \mathrm {V}_{n,r} with the homology of the ...
