This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Fall 2010
When a semi-infinite body of homogeneous fluid initially at rest behind a vertical retaining wall is suddenly released by the removal of the barrier the resulting flow over a horizontal or sloping bed is referred to as a dam-break flow. When resistance to the flow is neglected the exact...

This thesis addresses two important topics of deflators and log-utility-related optimal portfolios for markets stopped at a random time T. This random time can model the death time of an agent in life insurance or the default time of a firm in credit risk. For the topic of deflators, the thesis...

Spotting in the context of wildland fire refers to the creation of new fires, downwind from an existing fire front, where the new fires result due to the launch, and subsequent fuel bed ignition upon landing, of burning plant ma- terial released from the main front. We will present a new...

Fall 2011
This thesis deals with finding design points for nonlinear regression models with the possibility that the fitted model is incorrect. The information matrix depends on the parameter in nonlinear situations. We have assumed a range of values of the parameter and have specified a prior on the...

Fall 2023
Determinantal point processes (DPPs) arise as important tools in various aspects of mathematics, such as stochastic processes, random matrices, and combinatorics. Over the last decade, DPPs have also been widely used in ma- chine learning community; they are especially popular in subset selection...

Spring 2023
In present thesis I focus on development of method of market completions and its applications to various problems in pricing and hedging of contingent claims. Since theory of mathematical finance is well developed on complete markets, and corresponding solutions are well understood, method of...

Fall 2009
Let $A1$ denote the first Weyl algebra over a field $K$ of characteristic 0; that is, $A1$ is generated over $K$ by elements $p$, $q$ that satisfy the relation $pq-qp=1$. One can view $A1$ as an algebra of differential operators by setting $q=X$, $p=d/dX$. The basic questions which are addressed...
