The purpose of this thesis is to formulate and proof some theorems about convergences of Fourier series. In essence, we shall formulate and proof Wiener's lemma and Wiener-Lévy theorem which give us weaker conditions for absolute convergence of Fourier series. This thesis follows the classical Fourier analysis approach in a straightforward and detailed way suitable for undergraduate science students.

Volvo CE is going through a transformation leaving diesel driven machines in favor of batteryn and fuel cell driven machines. The earthmoving operations in the constructing industry are constantly evolving, improving productivity, safety, operation, maintenance, and management of equipment. For instance, real-time tracking and localization of earthmoving equipment provide numerous advantages in construction and mining. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate the circumstances of the location where the vehicles operates, to find solutions for optimizing productivity and minimizing emissions. The aim of this study is to approximate length and slope of existing hills in the area. The aim is answered by reconstructing and defining a continuous surface from data points describing the area, along with attempting the construction of potential paths which the machines experiences. To achieve the central objectives, the study employs various techniques including interpolation methods and processes for producing paths of different characteristics. The constructing of paths also includes clustering of data, to identify subregions and roads or intersections. These processes are discussed in the theoretical background and their detailed implementation is presented in the methodology section. The results indicates that the Radial Basis Function interpolation provides a smooth, continuous surface reconstruction, bounded by the implementation of alpha shape. However, in accuracy performance tests, the cubic splines interpolation indicates marginally better results. The formed path algorithm enables a heuristic approximation of machine paths. Comparative measures in slope distributions to machine tilt data, indicates that slope from linear distance paths showed the highest similarities.  The bounded interpolated surface describes the area's characteristics, allowing investigation regarding the circumstances of the location where the machines operates. The approximation of potential paths provides insights into the properties of the terrain, revealing length and slopes of hills. The distribution of slope and hill length can be leveraged to optimize battery selection for electrified vehicles.

The Lorentz gas model describes a cloud of noninteracting point particles in an infinitely extended array of spherical scatterers with centers in a given locally finite point set of uniform density. In the classical case of identical scatterers, Marklof and Strömbergsson have recently developed a general framework that derives the macroscopic transport equations of this gas for a large class of such point sets. This master's thesis is part of a forthcoming paper by the author that generalizes this framework so as to allow non-identical scatterers. Under certain conditions on the point set and on the distribution of scatterer types, we prove a limit theorem for the free path length and the parameters of the first collision. We also establish bounds on the probability of grazing a scatterer, and sketch how this knowledge gives control of the flight process in the macroscopic limit. As an application, we show that our hypotheses hold for finite unions of affine lattices with one scatterer type per lattice, generalizing a recent result of Palmer and Strömbergsson.

Non-maturity deposits (NMD) are saving accounts without a predefined maturity, whichmeans that depositors can withdraw or deposit any amount freely. On the other hand,banks have an option to freely alter deposit rates. This embedded option makes NMDshard to predict and NMDs are important for banks to model since they often rely onthese instruments for medium-long term funding. This thesis seeks to provide a Swedish bank with a flexible framework to forecast theoutflow of deposit volume under the stressed condition that no future deposits will bemade. The deposit volume will be modelled using a seasonal autoregressive model andthe forecast generated by a stressed Monte Carlo simulation that only allows the forecastof withdrawals. Under the Swedish Financial Services Authority’s regulations models for NMDs are onlyapplicable on a certain segment of the total volume known as Core Deposit. This is theamount of the total deposit volume unlikely to be withdrawn even under adverse changesin interest rates. Several approaches on how to estimate this volume are evaluated in thethesis. The best approach is found to be an Account Based approach where each depositis flagged as Core or Non-Core dependent on the account’s sensitivity to interest ratechanges. / Icke tidsbunden inlåning är sparkonton utan kontrakterad förfallodag, vilket innebär attinsättare har rätten att fritt sätta in eller ta ut ett godtyckligt belopp. Samtidigt harbanker möjligheten att fritt ändra kontots sparränta. Dessa inbäddade valmöjlighetergör kontona svåra att prediktera över tid samtidigt som kontona är viktiga för banker dådom ofta utgör en majoritet av den medium-långa finansieringen.Uppsatsen mål är tillgodose en Svensk bank med ett flexibelt ramverk för att predikterautflödet av inlåningsvolymer från dessa konton under den stressade ansatsen att ingaframtida insättningar kommer ske. Inlåningsvolymen kommer modelleras genom en säsongbetonadautoregressiv modell och prognosen kommer genereras genom en stressadMonte Carlo simulering där inga insättningar tillåts.Under Finansinspektionens regulationer får endast modeller som ska tillämpas på icketidsbunden inlåning användas på en delmängd av den total inlåningsvolymen där dennadelmängd benämns som Core Deposit, Stabil Inlåning på Svenska. Detta är den mängdav inlåningsvolymen som med stor sannolikhet inte kommer att plockas ut, även understora förändringar i räntelandskapet. Uppsatsen berör flera olika metoder för att uppskattaCore volymen där den bästa är en kontobaserad metod där varje individuellt kontoflaggas som Core eller Non-Core beroende på kontots känslighet för ränteförändringar.

We study admissible transformations and solve group classification problems for various classes of linear and nonlinear Schrödinger equations with an arbitrary number n of space variables. The aim of the thesis is twofold. The first is the construction of the new theory of uniform seminormalized classes of differential equations and its application to solving group classification problems for these classes. Point transformations connecting two equations (source and target) from the class under study may have special properties of semi-normalization. This makes the group classification of that class using the algebraic method more involved. To extend this method we introduce the new notion of uniformly semi-normalized classes. Various types of uniform semi-normalization are studied: with respect to the corresponding equivalence group, with respect to a proper subgroup of the equivalence group as well as the corresponding types of weak uniform semi-normalization. An important kind of uniform semi-normalization is given by classes of homogeneous linear differential equations, which we call uniform semi-normalization with respect to linear superposition of solutions. The class of linear Schrödinger equations with complex potentials is of this type and its group classification can be effectively carried out within the framework of the uniform semi-normalization. Computing the equivalence groupoid and the equivalence group of this class, we show that it is uniformly seminormalized with respect to linear superposition of solutions. This allow us to apply the version of the algebraic method for uniformly semi-normalized classes and to reduce the group classification of this class to the classification of appropriate subalgebras of its equivalence algebra. To single out the classification cases, integers that are invariant under equivalence transformations are introduced. The complete group classification of linear Schrödinger equations is carried out for the cases n = 1 and n = 2. The second aim is to study group classification problem for classes of generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equations which are not uniformly semi-normalized. We find their equivalence groupoids and their equivalence groups and then conclude whether these classes are normalized or not. The most appealing classes are the class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with potentials and modular nonlinearities and the class of generalized Schrödinger equations with complex-valued and, in general, coefficients of Laplacian term. Both these classes are not normalized. The first is partitioned into an infinite number of disjoint normalized subclasses of three kinds: logarithmic nonlinearity, power nonlinearity and general modular nonlinearity. The properties of the Lie invariance algebras of equations from each subclass are studied for arbitrary space dimension n, and the complete group classification is carried out for each subclass in dimension (1+2). The second class is successively reduced into subclasses until we reach the subclass of (1+1)-dimensional linear Schrödinger equations with variable mass, which also turns out to be non-normalized. We prove that this class is mapped by a family of point transformations to the class of (1+1)-dimensional linear Schrödinger equations with unique constant mass.

We give a short introduction to various concepts related to the theory of p-harmonic functions on Rn, and some modern generalizations of these concepts to general metric spaces. The article Björn-Björn-Lehrbäck [6] serves as the starting point of our discussion. In [6], among other things, estimates of the variational capacity for thin annuli in metric spaces are given under the assumptions of a Poincaré inequality and an annular decay property. Most of the parameters in the various results of the article are proven to be sharp by counterexamples at the end of the article. The main result of this thesis is the verification of the sharpness of a parameter. At the center of our discussion will be a concrete metric subspace of weighted Rn, namely the so-called weighted bow-tie, where the weight function is assumed to be radial. A similar space was used in [6] to verify the sharpness of several parameters. We show that under the assumption that the variational p-capacity is nonzero for any ball centered at the origin, the p-Poincaré inequality holds in Rn if and only if it holds on the corresponding bow-tie Finally, we consider a concrete weight function, show that it is a Muckenhoupt A1 weight, and use this to construct a counterexample establishing the sharpness of the parameter in the above mentioned result from [6].

Since its isolation in 2004, that resulted in the Nobel Prize award in 2010, graphene has been the object of an intense interest, due to its novel physics and possible applications in electronic devices. Graphene has many properties that differ it from usual semiconductors, for example its low-energy electrons behave like massless particles. To exploit the full potential of this material, one first needs to investigate its fundamental properties that depend on shape, number of layers, defects and interaction. The goal of this thesis is to perform such an investigation. In paper I, we study electronic transport in monolayer and bilayer graphene nanoribbons with single and many short-range defects, focusing on the role of the edge termination (zigzag vs armchair). Within the discrete tight-binding model, we perform an-alytical analysis of the scattering on a single defect and combine it with the numerical calculations based on the Recursive Green's Function technique for many defects. We find that conductivity of zigzag nanoribbons is practically insensitive to defects situated close to the edges. In contrast, armchair nanoribbons are strongly affected by such defects, even in small concentration. When the concentration of the defects increases, the difference between different edge terminations disappears. This behaviour is related to the effective boundary condition at the edges, which respectively does not and does couple valleys for zigzag and armchair ribbons. We also study the Fano resonances. In the second paper we consider electron-electron interaction in graphene quantum dots defined by external electrostatic potential and a high magnetic field. The interaction is introduced on the semi-classical level within the Thomas Fermi approximation and results in compressible strips, visible in the potential profile. We numerically solve the Dirac equation for our quantum dot and demonstrate that compressible strips lead to the appearance of plateaus in the electron energies as a function of the magnetic field. This analysis is complemented by the last paper (VI) covering a general error estimation of eigenvalues for unbounded linear operators, which can be used for the energy spectrum of the quantum dot considered in paper II. We show that an error estimate for the approximate eigenvalues can be obtained by evaluating the residual for an approximate eigenpair. The interpolation scheme is selected in such a way that the residual can be evaluated analytically. In the papers III, IV and V, we focus on the scattering on ultra-low long-range potentials in graphene nanoribbons. Within the continuous Dirac model, we perform analytical analysis and show that, considering scattering of not only the propagating modes but also a few extended modes, we can predict the appearance of the trapped mode with an energy eigenvalue close to one of the thresholds in the continuous spectrum. We prove that trapped modes do not appear outside the threshold, provided the potential is sufficiently small. The approach to the problem is different for zigzag vs armchair nanoribbons as the related systems are non-elliptic and elliptic respectively; however the resulting condition for the existence of the trapped mode is analogous in both cases. / Sedan isoleringen av grafen 2004, vilket belönades med Nobelpriset 2010, har intresset för grafen varit väldigt stort på grund av dess nya fysikaliska egenskaper med möjliga tillämpningar i elektronisk apparatur. Grafen har många egenskaper som skiljer sig från vanliga halvledare, exempelvis dess lågenergi-elektroner som beter sig som masslösa partiklar. För att kunna utnyttja dess fulla potential måste vi först undersöka vissa grundläggande egenskaper vilka beror på dess form, antal lager, defekter och interaktion. Målet med denna avhandling är att genomföra sådana undersökningar. I den första artikeln studerar vi elektrontransporter i monolager- och multilagergrafennanoband med en eller flera kortdistansdefekter, och fokuserar på inverkan av randstrukturen (zigzag vs armchair), härefter kallade zigzag-nanomband respektive armchair-nanoband. Vi upptäcker att ledningsförmågan hos zigzag-nanoband är praktiskt taget okänslig för defekter som ligger nära kanten, i skarp kontrast till armchairnanoband som påverkas starkt av sådana defekter även i små koncentrationer. När defektkoncentrationen ökar så försvinner skillnaden mellan de två randstrukturerna. Vi studerar också Fanoresonanser. I den andra artikeln betraktar vi elektron-elektron interaktion i grafen-kvantprickar som definieras genom en extern elektrostatisk potential med ett starkt magnetfält. Interaktionen visar sig i kompressibla band (compressible strips) i potentialfunktionens profil. Vi visar att kompressibla band manifesteras i uppkomsten av platåer i elektronenergierna som en funktion av det magnetiska fältet. Denna analys kompletteras i den sista artikeln (VI), vilken presenterar en allmän feluppskattning för egenvärden till linjära operatorer, och kan användas för energispektrumav kvantprickar betraktade i artikel II. I artiklarna III, IV och V fokuserar vi på spridning på ultra-låg långdistanspotential i grafennanoband. Vi utför en teoretisk analys av spridningsproblemet och betraktar de framåtskridande vågor, och dessutom några utökade vågor. Vi visar att analysen låter oss förutsäga förekomsten av fångade tillstånd inom ett specifikt energiintervall förutsatt att potentialen är tillräckligt liten.

In this thesis, we discuss important results for the numerical range of general square matrices. Especially, we examine analytically the numerical range of complex-valued $2 \times 2$ matrices. Also, we investigate and discuss the Gershgorin region of general square matrices. Lastly, we examine numerically the numerical range and Gershgorin regions for different types of square matrices, both contain the spectrum of the matrix, and compare these regions, using the calculation software Maple.
