(University of Pretoria, 2006-12-08)We consider linear mathematical models for elastic plates and beams. To be specific, we consider the Euler-Bernoulli, Rayleigh and Timoshenko theories for beams and the Kirchhoff and Reissner-Mindlin theories for plates. ...

(University of Pretoria, 2006-12-04)In the classical theory of operators on a Banach space a beautiful interplay exists between Riesz and Fredholm theory, and the theory of traces and de¬terminants for operator ideals. In this thesis we obtain a complete ...

(University of Pretoria, 2002)The aim of the research is the statistical modelling of parametric survival distributions of grouped survival data of long- and shortterm policies in the insurance industry, by means of a method of maximum likelihood ...

(University of Pretoria, 2010)In this dissertation, we investigate a very interesting class of quasi-linear stochastic partial differential equations. The main purpose of this article is to prove an existence result for such type of stochastic differential ...

(University of Pretoria, 2010-11-09)In this dissertation we study models for the valuation of portfolios of credit risky securities and collateralised debt obligations. We start with models for single security of the reduced form type and investigate means ...
