The present thesis explores the viability of the proper generalised decomposition (PGD) as a tool for parametric studies in a daily industrial environment. Starting from the equations modelling ...
Miraglio, Pietro (Date of defense: 2020-01-28)
My thesis deals with the study of elliptic PDE. It is divided into two parts, the first one concerning a nonlinear equation involving the p-Laplacian, and the second one focused on a nonlocal problem. In ...

Arithmetic Combinatorics, Combinatorial Number Theory, Structural Additive Theory and Additive Number Theory are just some of the terms used to describe the vast field that sits at the intersection of ...
Cano Vila, María del Pilar (Date of defense: 2020-06-25)
This thesis studies different generalizations of Delaunay triangulations, both from a combinatorial and algorithmic point of view. The Delaunay triangulation of a point set S, denoted DT(S), has vertex ...
