  1. 1. Messages from the deep: A reception study of Denis Villeneuve's Dune

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper

    Author : Sarah R. Kern; [2024-02-06]
    Keywords : Hegemony; Production Reception; Discourse; Dominant Negotiated Oppositional; Dune; Representation; Reception study; convergence culture; science fiction; participation culture; fandom;

    Abstract : This essay uses Pierre Bourdieus habitus, symbolic capital, Social fields, Stuart Halls representation theory and Encoding/Decoding system, as well as Henry Jenkins concept of convergence culture and media convergence, to conduct a reception study of Denis Villeneuves 2021 adaption of the science fiction movie Dune. The material collected for the reception study is collected in the form of reviews and features from experts in cinema, juxtaposed against material collected from YouTube in the form of reviews, reaction videos and video essays from social groups sectioned around cinephiles and science fiction fandom.

  3. 2. Adaptive random walks on graphs to sample rare events

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : David Christoph Stuhrmann; [2023]
    Keywords : statistical physics; graphs; random walks; large deviation theory; adaptive power method; dynamical phase transition;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I study fluctuations and rare events of time-additive observables of discrete-time Markov chains on finite state spaces. The observable of interest is the mean node connectivity visited by a random walk running on instances of an Erdős-Rényi (ER) random graph. READ MORE

  4. 3. Implementation and study of boundary integral operators related to PDE:s in the plane

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Erik Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Boundary integral equation; Singular integral operator; Product integration; Close evaluation; Numerical integration; MATLAB; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The method of solving boundary value problems of partial differential equations numerically by first reformulating the problem as a boundary integral equation has many advantages over other methods, but also some unique difficulties. Some of these difficulties stem from problems in evaluating singular or nearly singular integral operators, and solving these difficulties is an active field of research. READ MORE

  5. 4. Applying Peaks-Over-Threshold for Increasing the Speed of Convergence of a Monte Carlo Simulation

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Eric Jakobsson; Thor Åhlgren; [2022]
    Keywords : Monte Carlo Simulation; Value-at-Risk; Expected Shortfall; Peaks- Over-Threshold; Life Insurances; Generalized Pareto Distribution; Extreme-Value-Theory; Monte Carlo Simulation; Value-at-Risk; Expected Shortfall; Peaks-Over-Threshold; Livförsäkringar; Generalized Pareto Fördelning; Extremvärdesteori;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates applying the semiparametric method Peaks-Over-Threshold on data generated from a Monte Carlo simulation when estimating the financial risk measures Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall. The goal is to achieve a faster convergence than a Monte Carlo simulation when assessing extreme events that symbolise the worst outcomes of a financial portfolio. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Henstock–Kurzweil Integral

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Matematik och tillämpad matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Manolis David; [2020]
    Keywords : Henstock–Kurzweil integral; generalized Riemann integral; gauge integral; Denjoy–Perron integral; narrow Denjoy integral; Perron integral; non-absolute integration; Lebesgue outer measure; absolute integrability; fundamental theorem of calculus; convergence theorems; single variable calculus;

    Abstract : Since the introduction of the Riemann integral in the middle of the nineteenth century, integration theory has been subject to significant breakthroughs on a relatively frequent basis. We have now reached a point where integration theory has been thoroughly researched to a point where one has to delve quite deep into a particular subject in order to encounter open conjectures.
