In the United States, investors of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds are required to pay tax on the capital gains that their funds have made throughout the year. However, ETFs are able to avoid making taxable capital gains by taking advantage of a legal loophole, subsequently...

This thesis is about the theory of vertex operator algebras and their representations. Its main results provide new examples of logarithmic C2-cofinite vertex operator algebras. These include closure of the characters under modular transformations with explicit determination of the modular...

The main purpose of this thesis is to explore different risk-adjusted ratios, add correlation into account and see which one of them accommodates for risk the best way. In finance it is well-known that investors can not rely on pure return. Some fund managers can produce high return but at the...

In this thesis a mathematical model of HIV transmission and diagnosis is used to estimate the total size of the HIV-positive population and the HIV incidence from HIV case report data for the Province of Alberta. Worldwide, estimates of the size of the HIV-positive population are used to...

Mathematical model and numerical computation play a pivotal role in modern geophysical exploration. By applying computational algorithms to the observed field data, the underground structure can be inferred. This process is generally referred as a geophysical inversion problem. However, due to...

In this work we will construct the table of irreducible characters for the group of unitary 2 x 2 matrices over a finite field. The table and the methods for its construction will show interesting connections to the table and methods of construction of the table of irreducible characters for the...

In both health and disease, cells interact with one another through cellular adhesions. Normal development, wound healing, and metastasis all depend on these interactions. These phenomena are commonly studied using continuum models (partial differential equations). However, a mathematical...
