<p>We write down explicit algebraic formulas for the Szeg\H{o}, Garabedian and Bergman kernels for specific two-connected planar domains. We use these results to derive integral representations for a biholomorphic invariant relating the Bergman and Szeg\H{o} kernels. We use the formulas to study the asymptotic behavior of these kernels as a family of two-connected domains approaches the unit disc. We derive an explicit formula for the Green's function for the Laplacian for special values on two-connected domains. Every two-connected domain is biholomorphic to a unique two-connected domain of the type we consider. This allows one to write down formulas for the kernel functions on a general two-connected domain.</p>

Let <i>φ</i> be a self-map of <b>B</b>₂, the unit ball in <b>C</b>². We investigate the equation <i>C_φf</i>=<i>λf</i> where we define <i>C_φf </i>: -<i>f◦φ</i>, with <i>f a</i> function in the Drury Arves on Space. After imposing conditions to keep <i>C_φ</i> bounded and well-behaved, we solve the equation <i>C_φf - λf </i>and determine the spectrum <i>σ</i>(<i>C_φ</i>) in the case where there is no interior fixed point and boundary fixed point without multiplicity. We then investigate the existence of one-parameter semigroups for such maps and discuss some generalizations.

<div>The two main results in this thesis have a common point: Hermitian--Yang--Mills (HYM) metrics. In the first result, we address a Dirichlet problem for the HYM equations in bundles of infinite rank over Riemann surfaces. The solvability has been known since the work of Donaldson \cite{Donaldson92} and Coifman--Semmes \cite{CoifmanSemmes93}, but only for bundles of finite rank. So the novelty of our first result is to show how to deal with infinite rank bundles. The key is an a priori estimate obtained from special feature of the HYM equation.</div><div> </div><div> In the second result, we take on the topic of the so-called ``geometric quantization." This is a vast subject. In one of its instances the aim is to approximate the space of K\"ahler potentials by a sequence of finite dimensional spaces. The approximation of a point or a geodesic in the space of K\"ahler potentials is well-known, and it has many applications in K\"ahler geometry. Our second result concerns the approximation of a Wess--Zumino--Witten type equation in the space of K\"ahler potentials via HYM equations, and it is an extension of the point/geodesic approximation. </div><div> </div>

<p dir="ltr">This thesis presents applications of one-point quadrature domains to encryption and decryption as well as a method for estimating average temperature. In addition, it investigates methods for finding explicit formulas for certain functions and introduces results regarding quadrature domains for harmonic functions and for double quadrature domains. We use properties of quadrature domains to encrypt and decrypt locations in two dimensions. Results by Bell, Gustafsson, and Sylvan are used to encrypt a planar location as a point in a quadrature domain. A decryption method using properties of quadrature domains is then presented to uncover the location. We further demonstrate how to use data from the decryption algorithm to find an explicit formula for the Schwarz function for a one-point area quadrature domain. Given a double quadrature domain, we show that the fixed points within the area and arc length quadrature identities must be the same, but that the orders at each point may differ between these identities. In the realm of harmonic functions, we demonstrate how to uncover a one-point quadrature identity for harmonic functions from the quadrature identity for a simply-connected one-point quadrature domain for holomorphic functions. We use this result to state theorems for the density of one-point quadrature domains for harmonic functions in the realm of smooth domains with $C^{\infty}$-smooth boundary. These density theorems then lead us to discuss applications of quadrature domains for harmonic functions to estimating average temperature. We end by illustrating examples of the encryption process and discussing the building blocks for future work.</p>

<div>The Subword Complexity of a character string refers to the number of distinct substrings of any length that occur as contiguous patterns in the string. The kth Subword Complexity in particular, refers to the number of distinct substrings of length k in a string of length n. In this work, we evaluate the expected value and the second factorial moment of the kth Subword Complexity for the binary strings over memory-less sources. We first take a combinatorial approach to derive a probability generating function for the number of occurrences of patterns in strings of finite length. This enables us to have an exact expression for the two moments in terms of patterns' auto-correlation and correlation polynomials. We then investigate the asymptotic behavior for values of k=a log n. In the proof, we compare the distribution of the kth Subword Complexity of binary strings to the distribution of distinct prefixes of independent strings stored in a trie. </div><div>The methodology that we use involves complex analysis, analytical poissonization and depoissonization, the Mellin transform, and saddle point analysis.</div>

Since the time of Cauchy, integration theory has in the main been an attempt to regain the Eden of Newton. In that idyllic time [. . . ] derivatives and integrals were [. . . ] different aspects of the same thing. -Peter Bullen, as quoted in [24] The theory of integration has gone through many changes in the past centuries and, in particular, there has been a tension between the Riemann and the Lebesgue approach to integration. Riemann's definition is often the first integral to be introduced in undergraduate studies, while Lebesgue's integral is more powerful but also more complicated and its methods are often postponed until graduate or advanced undergraduate studies. The integral presented in this paper is due to the work of Ralph Henstock and Jaroslav Kurzweil. By a simple exchange of the criterion for integrability in Riemann's definition a powerful integral with many properties of the Lebesgue integral was found. Further, the generalized Riemann integral expands the class of integrable functions with respect to Lebesgue integrals, while there is a characterization of the Lebesgue integral in terms of absolute integrability. As this definition expands the class of functions beyond absolutely integrable functions, some theorems become more cumbersome to prove in contrast to elegant results in Lebesgue's theory and some important properties in composition are lost. Further, it is not as easily abstracted as the Lebesgue integral. Therefore, the generalized Riemann integral should be thought of as a complement to Lebesgue's definition and not as a replacement. / Ända sedan Cauchys tid har integrationsteori i huvudsak varit ett försök att åter finna Newtons Eden. Under den idylliska perioden [. . . ] var derivator och integraler [. . . ] olika sidor av samma mynt.-Peter Bullen, citerad i [24] Under de senaste århundradena har integrationsteori genomgått många förändringar och framförallt har det funnits en spänning mellan Riemanns och Lebesgues respektive angreppssätt till integration. Riemanns definition är ofta den första integral som möter en student pa grundutbildningen, medan Lebesgues integral är kraftfullare. Eftersom Lebesgues definition är mer komplicerad introduceras den först i forskarutbildnings- eller avancerade grundutbildningskurser. Integralen som framställs i det här examensarbetet utvecklades av Ralph Henstock och Jaroslav Kurzweil. Genom att på ett enkelt sätt ändra kriteriet for integrerbarhet i Riemanns definition finner vi en kraftfull integral med många av Lebesgueintegralens egenskaper. Vidare utvidgar den generaliserade Riemannintegralen klassen av integrerbara funktioner i jämförelse med Lebesgueintegralen, medan vi samtidigt erhåller en karaktärisering av Lebesgueintegralen i termer av absolutintegrerbarhet. Eftersom klassen av generaliserat Riemannintegrerbara funktioner är större än de absolutintegrerbara funktionerna blir vissa satser mer omständiga att bevisa i jämforelse med eleganta resultat i Lebesgues teori. Därtill förloras vissa viktiga egenskaper vid sammansättning av funktioner och även möjligheten till abstraktion försvåras. Integralen ska alltså ses som ett komplement till Lebesgues definition och inte en ersättning.

<p dir="ltr">We present first order asymptotic estimates for the divisor function problem, the set of lists (restricted number of divisors) problem, and a generalization of the overpartition problem. In particular, we prove Kotesovec's conjecture for A294363 from the OEIS and also extend his conjecture to a full asymptotic treatment by providing an estimate in terms of elementary functions for the EGF coefficients directly rather than the log of the coefficients. We also provide asymptotic estimates for generalizations of the set of lists and overpartition problem, while making comparisons to any existing Kotesovec conjectures. We perform the asymptotic analysis via Mellin transforms, residue analysis, and the saddle point method. These families of generating functions have potential application to families of randomly generated partitions in which ordered subsets of a partition that exceed a certain fixed size may be one of two different objects and to overpartitions with potential heading labels.</p>
