Application and implementation of transducer tools in answering certain questions about regular languages

Yang, Meng (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2012)

In this research, we investigate, refine, and implement algorithmic tools that allow us to answer decision questions about regular languages. We provide a thorough presentation of existing algorithmic tools to answer the ...
B-spline collocation for two dimensional, time-dependent, parabolic PDEs

Li, Zhi (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2012)

In this thesis, we consider B-spline collocation algorithms for solving two-dimensional in space, time-dependent parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs), defined over a rectangular region. We propose two ways to ...
A comparative study of automated reviewer assignment methods

Young, Joshua Peter (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2012)

The reviewer assignment problem is the problem of determining suitable reviewers for papers submitted to journals or conferences. Automated solutions to this problem have used standard information retrieval methods such ...
Formalizations of error models with applications to spelling error correction

Xu, Jing (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2004)

For many information processing applications, there are several different existing error models and error correction algorithms. This research focuses on a general methodology for defining error models describing different ...
Investigating the impact of stellar feedback algorithms on galactic evolution

Pillsworth, Samantha R. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)

The numerical algorithm used to implement stellar feedback in a galactic simulation will strongly influence the resulting disk. Using two disks from the MUGS2 simulation suite (Keller et al., 2015), we study the morphologies ...
Performance prediction for designing shared services

Liu, Yu (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)

Since early 1980s, shared services have been utilized by public and private organizations with the purpose of reducing the administrative cost. Currently, shared services evolve into an efficient and flexible tool in ...
Predicting unusual surges in a time series

Sun, Weiran (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)

Time-series data tend to enjoy regular fluctuations. Statisticians have developed a wide variety of techniques to predict future values of a temporal variable. Most of these approaches use prediction techniques; one example ...
