The objective of this thesis is to develop efficient numerical schemes to successfully tackle problems arising from the study of groundwater flows in a porous saturated medium; we deal therefore with partial differential equations(PDE) having random coeffi ...
We propose a holographic dual for (pseudo-)conformal cosmological scenario, with a scalar field that forms a moving domain wall in adS(5). The domain wall separates two vacua with unequal energy densities. Unlike in the existing construction, the 5d soluti ...
This paper introduces a dynamic model of the stochastic repayment behavior exhibited by delinquent creditcard accounts. Based on this model, we construct a dynamic collectability score (DCS) that estimates the account-specific probability of collecting a g ...
We investigate the turnpike and dissipativity properties of continuous-time optimal control problems. These properties play a key role in the analysis and design of schemes for dynamic real-time optimization and economic model predictive control. We show i ...
