Singular phenomena in the length spectrum of analytic convex curves 

Tamarit Sariol, Anna (Date of defense: 2015-07-06)

Consider the billiard map defined inside an analytic closed strictly convex curve Q. Given q>2 and 0<p<q relatively prime integers, there exist at least two (p,q)-periodic trajectories inside Q. The main goal of this thesis ...

Study of invariant manifolds in two different problems : the Hopf-zero singularity and neural synchrony 

Castejón i Compnay, Oriol (Date of defense: 2015-07-16)

The main object of study of this thesis are invariant manifolds in the field of dynamical systems. We deal with two different and independent topics, namely, the study of exponentially small splitting of invariant manifolds ...

Subespacios hiperinvariantes y característicos : una aproximación geométrica 

Montoro López, Ma. Eulàlia (Date of defense: 2015-05-12)

The aim of this thesis is to study the hyperinvariant and characteristic subspaces of a matrix, or equivalently, of an endomorphism of a finite dimensional vector space. We restrict ourselves to the case of matrices A with ...

Application of dynamical system methods to galactic dynamics : from warps to double bars 

Sánchez Martín, Patricia (Date of defense: 2015-06-29)

Most galaxies have a warped shape when they are seen from an edge-on point of view. In this work we apply dynamical system methods to find an explanation of this phenomenon that agrees with its abundance among galaxies, ...

Simon López, Adrià (Date of defense: 2015-07-06)

En l'article [CKSTT] els autors proven una inestabilitat global per a l'equació de Schrödinger cúbica desenfocant en el tor 2-dimensional. Per aconseguir-ho, detecten un sistema finit d'equacions diferencials ordinàries, ...

Dynamics and control of tethered satellite formations in low-Earth orbits 

Fedi Casas, Manrico (Date of defense: 2015-04-24)

This thesis is focused on the study of dynamics and control of a multi-tethered satellite formation, where a multi-tethered formation is made up with several satellites (agents) connected by means of cables (tethers). The ...

Evolutionary dynamics of populations with genotype-phenotype map 

Ibáñez Marcelo, Esther (Date of defense: 2014-12-19)

In this thesis we develop a multi-scale model of the evolutionary dynamics of a population of cells, which accounts for the mapping between genotype and phenotype as determined by a model of the gene regulatory network. ...

Beyond the classical Stefan problem

Elliptic and parabolic PDEs : regularity for nonlocal diffusion equations and two isoperimetric problems 

Serra Montolí, Joaquim (Date of defense: 2014-06-17)

The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is mainly concerned with regularity issues for integro-differential (or nonlocal) elliptic and parabolic equations. In the same way that densities of particles with ...
