In the previous lecture, we showed that Shannon constructed a code, which was a one-to-one mapping, that took a stream of data X = (X1, ..., Xn) generated iid from a distribution P (X) over a finite alphabet A = (a1, ..., aA) of size A, and compressed it using ≈ nH(X) bits in total or ≈ H(X) bits per symbol, on average (for sufficiently large n). The code was based considering a special subset ...

In this thesis, size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) of wood polymers dissolved in lithium chloride/N,N-dimethylacetamide (LiCl/DMAc) has been used to characterize the molar mass distributions (MMD) of wood polymers in pulp fibers after chemical degradation. Characterization of birch kraft pulps subjected to ozone degradation and acid hydrolysis, respectively, rendered different changes in the M...

Abstract. We extend a well-balanced finite volume evolution Galerkin (FVEG) method to nonuniform grids. As a model problem, we consider the two-dimensional shallow water equations with a source term modelling the bottom topography. Our work is based on the well-balanced scheme proposed in (Lukáčová, Noelle, Kraft, J.Comp.Physics, 221, 2007). We present selected test cases to demonstrate the cap...
