This thesis considers PVol (Percentage of Volume) strategies, which are an often used type of algorithmic trading strategies. In a PVol strategy, the broker aims to bring the order execution speed in line with a percentage of the market volume. This target percentage and the total order size are...

The kinetic chemotaxis equations have long been used to model biological processes. We will analyze a volume filling variant of the kinetic chemotaxis equations on the torus. Since the kinetic chemotaxis systems have well known blow-up solutions, we spend a considerable amount of time showing...

Herein, an averaging theory for the solutions to Cauchy initial value problems of arbitrary order,ε-dependent parabolic partial differential equations is developed. Indeed, by directly developing bounds between the derivatives of the fundamental solution to such an equation and derivatives of the...

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group defined over a ground field $k$, and let $\mu$ be a $\Gal(k^\sep/k)$-module.A \tb{cohomological invariant} is a morphism $a:H^1(-,G)\to H^n(-,\mu)$ of two functors from the category of field extensions over $k$ to the category of setswhere $H^1(-,G)$ is the...
