Mathematical modelling of dominance hierarchies
In this research we analyse the formation of dominance hierarchies from different viewpoints and various models of dominance hierarchy formation have been proposed, one important class being winner--loser models and another being Swiss tournaments. We start by understanding the structure of …

Multiple dominance and interface operations
… dissertation explores the consequences of multidominance in syntactic theory, with a particular focus on how multidominance interacts with interpretation at the interfaces. In particular, I explore how interpretation is sensitive to complete dominance, in which a phrase dominates every position …

Vector meson dominance and pion photoproduction
… treatment is given of the vector mesondominance approximation of a k2 dispersion relation for any of a large number of sets of invariant amplitudes for pion photoproduction. The resulting cross section always has a kinematic singularity; whether or not it is in the physical region …

Topics in the generalized vector dominance model
… covers two topics in the Generalized Vector Dominance Model. In the first topic we construct a model for dilepton production in hadron·hadron interactions based on the idea of generalized vectordominance. We argue that in the high-mass region the generalized vectordominance model and the …
