Application of error control differential equations software to information flow models

Lucas-Currie, Evan (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-06-01)

In this thesis, we consider three scientific computing projects. The first project investigates a mathematical model [16] associated with the study of misinformation from the Twitter feed associated with the death of George ...
Comparing the performance of sequence alignment software : Bandage, SPAligner, GraphAligner

Shah, Yusreen (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-08-28)

In this thesis, we investigate the performance of available methods and tools for sequence alignment in assembly and de Bruijn graphs. Sequence alignment tools are employed to detect antimicrobial (AMR) gene sequences ...
A comparison of vertex-splitting and spider-splitting for the study of three-dimensional rigidity

d'Eon, Jason N. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2018)

In two dimensions, generic rigidity is a combinatorial property of a framework, but extensions into three dimensions fail to completely characterize generic rigidity. It is therefore interesting to investigate two graph ...
Deciding rational property definitions

Rafuse, Matthew David (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)

Language Equations is an area of Theoretical Computer Science that is concerned with expressing desirable constraints on formal languages of interest and answering algorithmic problems about such languages. Language Equations ...
Exploration of moving transformation methods for boundary value ordinary differential equations and one-dimensional time-dependent partial differential equations

Tannahill, Connor (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)

Rapid advances in computing power have given computational analysis and simulation a prominent role in modern scientific exploration. Differential equations are often used to model complex scientific phenomena. In practice, ...
Exploring local delaunay graph based neural network for 3D object detection

Pandey, Bivash (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-04-26)

Three-dimensional object detectors are essential components of the perception sys tems of autonomous robots. Most of the 3D object detection methods are point-based, voxel-based, or point-voxel-based (uses both point-based ...
Finite difference based error estimation for boundary value ODEs, 1D PDEs and 2D PDEs

Murtha, Thomas (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)

Differential equations are involved in many felds. Often these cannot be solved exactly, so they must be approximated. To do this, we derive a fourth order finite difference scheme for non-uniform meshes. This is paired ...
Identifying users and activities from brain wave signals recorded from a wearable headband

Wiechert, Glavin (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)

This paper studies the supervised classification of electroencephalogram (EEG) brain signals to identify persons and their activities. The brain signals are obtained from a commercially available and modestly priced wearable ...
Investigation of efficient methods for the determination of Strassen-type algorithms for fast matrix multiplication

MacDonald, Zachary A. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)

Fast matrix multiplication algorithms such as the Strassen algorithm allow for the multiplication of matrices with fewer multiplications than would normally be needed, thus making the calculations more efficient. We introduce ...
On the uniformly random generation of combinatorial structures

Dempsey, Jordan Arthur (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)

We consider two algorithmic processes used to sample uniformly from a wide array of combinatorial classes. First, the recursive method which uses the recur- sive decomposition of a class in addition to tables of large ...
Performance analysis on covid-19 models with discontinuities and efficient defect control for initial value ODE solvers

Agowun, Humaid (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-04-28)

In this thesis, we consider the problems of numerically solving ordinary differ ential equation (ODE) and partial differential equation (PDE) Covid-19 models with discontinuities. We then tackle the issue of computing ...
The practical efficiency of regular expression membership algorithms

Gray, Justin P. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-04-28)

Regular expressions encode text patterns and define languages of symbolic words. The membership problem decides if a given word is an element of the language described by a given regular expression. This problem has various ...
Python tools for the investigation of optimal explicit runge-kutta methods

Singla, Shivam (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)

The investigation of many real-world applications involves mathematical models that consist of systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). This thesis mainly focuses on the ODEs with the initial values known as ...
Regular languages, property satisfiability, and shortcuts

Melanson, Patrick (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)

The Language Server (LaSer ) is a website created to ask and answer various questions pertaining to regular languages. One of its main features is testing property satisfiability, that is, does a given regular language ...
Spatial error estimation for collocation solutions of diﬀerential equations

Fraser, Andrew E. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)

Computational Science is now a central component of all scientiﬁc investigation, along with the traditional modes of experimental and theoretical investigation. Computational Science involves the development and solution ...
