Laplace transforms, probabilities and queues.
… we discuss a probabilistic interpretation of the Laplace transform of probability density functions (p.d.f.) for waiting times in queues. We interpret the Laplace transform of a p.d.f. as the probability that the corresponding random variable wins a race against (i.e., is less than) an exponential …

Poisson regression with Laplace measurement error
… when the covariate is contaminated with Laplace measurement error. This dissertation contains two research projects. In the first project, we propose a weighted least squares estimation procedure that incorporates the first two conditional moments of the response variable given the …

A Bi-variate Gamma Generalized Laplace Distribution
… introduces the Bivariate Gamma Generalized Laplace (BGGL) distribution, a novel member of the Bivariate Conditionally Normal (BCN) family. The BGGL combines a gamma-distributed variable with a conditionally normal variable, offering a flexible model for asymmetric, heavy-tailed bivariate …

Eigenvalue Problem for the 1-Laplace Operator
… the eigenvalue problem associated to the 1-Laplace operator. We define higher eigensolutions by means of weak slope and establish existence of a sequence of eigensolutions by using nonsmooth critical point theory. In addition, we deduce a new necessary condition for the first eigenvalue of …

A semigroup/Laplace transform approach to approximating flows
… methods for linear semigroups and/or Laplace transform inversion methods in order to reconstruct the flow starting with the linear generator A . In preparing for these investigations, we collect some of the essential approximation theorems of semigroup theory and improve a recent …

On two problems related to the Laplace operator
We investigate maximization of the functional Ω → ε(Ω) where Ω runs in the set of compact domains of fixed volume v in any Riemannian manifold (M; g) and where ε(Ω) is the mean exit time from of the Brownian motion. Concerning this functional, we study its critical points and prove that they are …

Theory of multidimensional Laplace transforms and boundary value problems
… several theorems on multidimensional Laplace transforms are developed. These theorems are applied to most commonly used special functions to obtain many new two and three dimensional Laplace transform pairs from known one and two dimensional Laplace transforms. Last, some boundary …

Asian Options: Inverse Laplace Transforms and Martingale Methods Revisited
Arithmetic Asian options are difficult to price and hedge, since, at the present, no closed-form analytical solution exists to price them. This difficulty, moreover, has led to the development of various methods and models used to price these instruments. The purpose of this thesis is two-fold. …

A Normal Truncated Skewed-Laplace Model in Stochastic Frontier Analysis
… using the normal distribution and truncated skew-Laplace distribution, namely the normal-truncated skew-Laplace model. This is a generalized model of the normal-exponential case. Furthermore, we compute the true technical efficiency and estimated technical efficiency of the normal-truncated …

Regularity and Numerics for stochastic p-Laplace and symmetric p-Stokes systems
In this thesis we consider the stochastic p-Laplace and the symmetric p-Stokes system. The overall aim is to solve the systems, by which we mean that we find numerical values for the solution variable. <br /><br /> Both models are related to non-Newtonian fluids, more specifically, power-law …
