The logarithmic Mahler measure of an n-variable Laurent
polynomial, P(x1,...,xn) is defined by [expression].
Using experimental methods, David Boyd conjectured a large number of
explicit relations between Mahler measures of polynomials and
special values of different types of L-series. This thesis
contains four papers which either prove or attempt to prove
conjectures due to Boyd. The introductory chapter contains an
overview of the contents of each manuscript. / Science, Faculty of / Mathematics, Department of / Graduate
