Time change method in quantitative finance
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-28)In this thesis I discuss the method of time-change and its applications in quantitative finance. I mainly consider the time change by writing a continuous diffusion process as a Brownian motion subordinated by a ... -
Time-consistent mean–variance portfolio optimization: A numerical impulse control approach
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)We investigate the time-consistent mean–variance (MV) portfolio optimization problem, popular in investment–reinsurance and investment-only applications, under a realistic context that involves the simultaneous application ... -
Time-Optimal Control of Closed Quantum Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-20)Recently there has been a lot of interest in the potential applications of performing computations on systems whose governing physical laws are quantum, rather than classical in nature. These quantum computers would have ... -
Time-Optimal Control of Quantum Systems: Numerical Techniques and Singular Trajectories
(University of Waterloo, 2011-06-21)As technological advances allow us to peer into and beyond microscopic phenomena, new theoretical developments are necessary to facilitate this exploration. In particular, the potential afforded by utilizing quantum resources ... -
A TMT-labeled Spectral Library for Peptide Sequencing
(University of Waterloo, 2017-12-07)Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is widely used nowadays for bioinformaticians to identify peptides and proteins. Three major peptide identification approaches and tools have been developed over the past two decades: ... -
Tolls For Atomic Congestion Games
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-26)In games where selfish players compete for resources, they often arrive at equilibria that are less desirable than the social optimum. To combat this inefficiency, it is common for some central authority to place tolls on ... -
Topic-Oriented Collaborative Web Crawling
(University of Waterloo, 2001)A <i>web crawler</i> is a program that "walks" the Web to gather web resources. In order to scale to the ever-increasing Web, multiple crawling agents may be deployed in a distributed fashion to retrieve web data ... -
Topical Opinion Retrieval
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-18)With a growing amount of subjective content distributed across the Web, there is a need for a domain-independent information retrieval system that would support ad hoc retrieval of documents expressing opinions on a specific ... -
Topics in Chemical Reaction Network Theory
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-10)Under the assumption of mass-action kinetics, systems of chemical reactions can give rise to a wide variety of dynamical behaviour, including stability of a unique equilibrium concentration, multistability, periodic ... -
Topics in Delayed Renewal Risk Models
(University of Waterloo, 2007-08-03)Main focus is to extend the analysis of the ruin related quantities, such as the surplus immediately prior to ruin, the deficit at ruin or the ruin probability, to the delayed renewal risk models. First, the background ... -
Topics in early and late Universe cosmology
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-11)In this thesis, we explore different problems in various areas of cosmology. The inflationary paradigm has been very successful in explaining cosmological observations. However, some problems still linger on. In the ... -
Topics in G₂ geometry and geometric flows
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-15)We study three different problems in this thesis, all related to G₂ structures and geometric flows. In the first problem we study hypersurfaces in a nearly G₂ manifold. We define various quantities associated to such a ... -
Topics in Quantum Foundations: Ontological Models, and Distinguishability as a Resource
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-24)This thesis covers research in two disjoint research areas: The ontological model program (formerly hidden-variables program) for quantum theory has a long and noble tradition in the quantum foundations literature. By ... -
Topics in Study Design and Analysis Involving Incomplete Data
(University of Waterloo, 2021-07-27)Incomplete data is a common occurrence in statistics with various types and mechanisms such that each can have a significant effect on statistical analysis and inference. This thesis tackles several statistical issues in ... -
Topics in the Design of Life History Studies
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-20)Substantial investments are being made in health research to support the conduct of large cohort studies with the objective of improving understanding of the relationships between diverse features (e.g. exposure to toxins, ... -
Topographically generated internal waves and boundary layer instabilities
(American Institute of Physics, 2015-08)Flow over topography has been shown to generate finite amplitude internal waves upstream, over the topography and downstream. Such waves can interact with the viscous bottom boundary layer to produce vigorous instabilities. ... -
Topological Quantum Computation and Protected Gates
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-22)This thesis serves to give a mathematical overview of topological quantum computation and to apply the theory to characterize desirable fault-tolerant operations called protected gates. Topological quantum computation is ... -
Topology-Awareness and Re-optimization Mechanism for Virtual Network Embedding
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-15)Embedding of virtual network (VN) requests on top of a shared physical network poses an intriguing combination of theoretical and practical challenges. Two major problems with the state-of-the-art VN embedding algorithms ... -
Total Relation Recall: High-Recall Relation Extraction
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-28)As Knowledge Graphs (KGs) become important in a wide range of applications, including question-answering and recommender systems, more and more enterprises have recognized the value of constructing KGs with their own data. ... -
Touch Crossing-Based Selection and the Pin-and-Cross Technique
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-13)This thesis focuses on the evaluation, exploration and demonstration of crossing paradigm with touch modality. Under the scenario of crossing selection, the target is selected by stroking through a boundary 'goal' instead ...
