Accreted Globular Clusters in External Galaxies: Why Adaptive Dynamics won’t work
Many astrophysical and galaxy-scale cosmological problems require a well-determined gravitational potential. Globular clusters (GCs) surrounding galaxies can be used as dynamical tracers of the luminous and dark matter distribution at large (kpc) scales. This M.Sc. project investigates - by means …

Co-evolution of social relationships and cognition: a theoretical investigation
… is yet unclear. Therefore, to disambiguate the adaptive value of noisy and expensive social cues, we modelled the adaptive dynamics of populations in three social contexts---divorce, nest building, and parental care---wherein partners are uncertain of one another's state. In two of these cases …

Musical Ambiguity in Analysis and Composition: Problems of Pattern, Value, Form, and Structure
… Stroe's "morphogenetic music" and Marc Leman's "adaptive dynamics" is traced, and the concept is used in analysis of a passage from Berlioz' Requiem. The relationship of synchronic recomposition and literary irony is described, and the concept is used in an analysis of Webern's orchestration of …

Offroad autonomous vehicle development and model-based adaptive robust control strategy
… off-road path-tracking control. First, vehicle dynamics were identified using Dynamic Mode Decomposition with Control (DMDc) to enable model-based control, with noise reduced by a Savitzky–Golay filter. The identified model was validated against a Least Squares Estimation (LSE) baseline and …

The Resource Environment and Microbial Associations Mediate Adaptation to Environmental Heterogeneity in Drosophila Melanogaster
… environmental factors that influence the adaptive outcomes ofpopulations as they respond to heterogeneity remains a major focus of evolutionary biology. The ability to observe the genomic and phenotypic evolution of populations over rapid timescales has enabled a deeper exploration into …

Dynamic strategic interactions : analysis and mechanism design
… provides a valuable tool for the analysis of dynamics in games. Earlier literature established that many natural strategy update rules converge to a Nash equilibrium in potential games. We show that games that are close to a potential game exhibit similar properties. In particular, we focus on …

Mathematical models of daphnia epidemics
… can be quite complex and lead to fascinating dynamics. Our system of study, Daphnia has a lot of interesting and complex features that can be analyzed with precision both biologically and mathematically. By using mathematical models we can study the underlying biological mechanisms that drive …
