1. Monte Carlo study of disorder in electronic tight-binding models
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysikAbstract : 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.

2. Optimization and Bayesian Modeling of Road Distance for Inventory of Potholes in Gävle Municipality
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Statistiska institutionenAbstract : 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

3. Towards Deep Learning Accelerated Sparse Bayesian Frequency Estimation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistikAbstract : 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.

4. High-performance Monte Carlo Computations for Adhesive Bands Formation
University essay from Karlstads universitetAbstract : We propose a lattice model for three stochastically interacting components that mimicsthe formation of the internal structure of adhesive bands via evaporating one component(the solvent) by thermal gradient. We use high-performance computing resources toinvestigate the formation of rubber-acrylate morphologies. READ MORE

5. Spatial Statistical Modelling of Insurance Claim Frequency
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistikAbstract : In this thesis a fully Bayesian hierarchical model that estimates the number of aggregated insurance claims per year for non-life insurances is constructed using Markov chain Monte Carlo based inference with Riemannian Langevin diffusion. Some versions of the model incorporate a spatial effect, viewed as the relative spatial insurance risk that originates from a policyholder's geographical location and where the relative spatial insurance risk is modelled as a continuous spatial field.
