Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Weighted Ergodic Theorems
The second part of the thesis is devoted to the qualitative analysis of weighted operators, where the weights are obtained by almost everywhere sampling in a stationary stochastic process. The major theme of our investigation is whether one can break the duality, in other words, if one still gets …

Qualitative and quantitative convergence results for randomised integration methods
In this thesis different randomised integration methods based on either, randomised Quasi-Monte Carlo, or (adaptive) Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are studied. Depending on the underlying integration problem we show qualitative and quantitative results, which ensure the asymptotic correctness of …

Qualitative and Quantitative Fitness Consequences of Advanced Maternal Age
… age can affect offspring fitness across taxa and through various mechanisms. However, the effect(s) of advanced maternal age on offspring, particularly in insects, has not been comprehensively reviewed making it difficult to draw conclusions about the effects of advanced maternal age on …

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF STOCHASTIC MODELS IN MATHEMATICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY
We introduce random fluctuations on contact and recovery rates in three basic deterministic models in mathematical epidemiology and obtain stochastic counterparts. This paper addresses qualitative and quantitative analysis of stochastic SIS model with disease deaths and demographic effects, and …
