  1. 1. Monte Carlo study of disorder in electronic tight-binding models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik

    Author : Carl Pettersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Monte Carlo; Tight-binding model; Falicov-Kimball model; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Oftentimes solids are described by uniform, periodic lattices. In reality, however, there is often some disorder on some of the sites in the lattice. This disorder may come from, for example, there being a different type of atom or tightly bound electrons resulting in a larger on-site potential, affecting the electronic properties of the lattice.

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Timothy Rafael Lindblom; Oskar Tollin; [2022]
    Keywords : Traveling salesman problem; Bayesian inference; Simulated annealing; Nearest neighbour algorithm; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; MCMC; Potholes; Haversine formula; Metropolis-Hastings; Posterior predictive distribution; Handelsresande problemet; bayesiansk inferens; simulerad anlöpning; nearest neighbour algorithm; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; MCMC; potthål; storcirkelavstånd; Metropolis-Hastings; posterior predictive distribution;

    Abstract : Time management and distance evaluation have long been a difficult task for workers and companies. This thesis studies 6712 pothole coordinates in Gävle municipality, and evaluates the minimal total road distance needed to visit each pothole once, and return to an initial pothole. READ MORE

  4. 3. Towards Deep Learning Accelerated Sparse Bayesian Frequency Estimation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Mika Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : Bayesian Statistics; Deep Learning; Frequency Estimation; Generative Adversarial Networks; Artificial Neural Networks; Statistical Modelling; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The Discrete Fourier Transform is the simplest way to obtain the spectrum of a discrete complex signal. This thesis concerns the case when the signal is known to contain a small (unknown) number of frequencies, not limited to the discrete Fourier frequencies, embedded in complex Gaussian noise.

  5. 4. Error estimation for neural network approximations of convection problems

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Ludvig Eidmann; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The problem of approximating a solution to the convection equation $\partial_t u +f\cdot\nabla_xu = h$ given data on the flux $f$, source function $h$ and a final condition $g$ is investigated. Specifically, two layer neural networks are used to approximate $f,h$ and $g$ and a solution is approximated using numerical integration. READ MORE

  6. 5. Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Bayesian Inference for Gravitational Waves

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Christine Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Gravitational Waves; LISA; LISA mission; Bayesian Inference; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; MCMC; Bayes’ Theorem; stochastic sampling; Metropolis Hastings; histograms; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a space borne gravitational wave detec- tor set to launch in 2034, with the objective of detecting and studying the Gravitational Waves (GWs) of our universe. So far, ground-based detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) have been successful in detecting GWs, but the limitations of ground based detectors is what makes LISA so special.
