    • Jet-determination of symmetries of parabolic geometries 

      Kruglikov, Boris; The, Dennis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-24)
      We establish 2-jet determinacy for the symmetry algebra of the underlying structure of any (complex or real) parabolic geometry. At non-flat points, we prove that the symmetry algebra is in fact 1-jet determined. Moreover, we prove 1-jet determinacy at any point for a variety of non-flat parabolic geometries—in particular torsion-free, parabolic contact, and several other classes.
    • Joint Invariants of Linear Symplectic Actions 

      Andreassen, Fredrik; Kruglikov, Boris (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-07)
      We review computations of joint invariants on a linear symplectic space, discuss variations for an extension of group and space and relate this to other equivalence problems and approaches, most importantly to differential invariants.
    • Joint Invariants of Symplectic and Contact Lie Algebra Actions 

      Andreassen, Fredrik (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-23)
      By restricting generating functions of infinitesimal symmetries of symplectic and contact vector spaces to quadratic forms, we obtain a finite-dimensional Lie subalgebra, consisting of vector fields isomorphic to the linear symplectic or conformal symplectic algebra. This allows us to look for joint invariants of the diagonal action of g on product manifolds. We find an explicit recipe for creating ...
    • Kausale design – Et gjennombrudd i samfunnsfagene eller keiserens nye klær? 

      Rypdal, Kristoffer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-03)
      Statistiske metoder som regresjonsanalyse og kausale design basert på naturlige eksperi-menter har etter hvert blitt hyllevare innen de fleste fag som behandler store datamengder,ikke minst innen epidemiologi, meteorologi og klimavitenskap.1 Et eksempel er prinsipalkomponentanalyse (PCA), som brukes til å finne karakteristiske mønstre i geofysiske felt.Mønstrene, eller prinsipalkomponentene, ...
    • Kayas identitet og valgets kval 

      Rypdal, Kristoffer (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2017-08-21)
      <i>Ingress</i>: Det Kayas identitet viser oss er for det første at for å redusere utslippene må vi gjøre noe med befolkningsveksten og/eller en eller flere av de tre intensitetene.
    • Killing Tensors in Koutras-McIntosh Spacetimes 

      Steneker, Wijnand (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-15)
      This thesis is concerned with the (non)existence of Killing Tensors in Koutras-McIntosh spacetimes. Killing tensors are of particular interest in general relativity, because these correspond to conserved quantities for the geodesic motion. For instance, Carter found such a conserved quantity in the Kerr metric which he used to explicitly integrate the geodesic equations. The equation defining ...
    • Killing tensors in Koutras-McIntosh spacetimes 

      Kruglikov, Boris; Steneker, Wijnand Sebastiaan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-03)
      The Koutras–McIntosh family of metrics include conformally flat pp-waves and the Wils metric. It appeared in a paper of 1996 by Koutras–McIntosh as an example of a pure radiation spacetime without scalar curvature invariants or infinitesimal symmetries. Here we demonstrate that these metrics have no 'hidden symmetries', by which we mean Killing tensors of low degrees. For the particular case of Wils ...
    • Kinetic energy-free Hartree–Fock equations: an integral formulation 

      Jensen, Stig Rune; Durdek, Antoine Pacifique Romain; Bjørgve, Magnar; Wind, Peter; Flå, Tor; Frediani, Luca (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-18)
      We have implemented a self-consistent feld solver for Hartree–Fock calculations, by making use of Multiwavelets and Multiresolution Analysis. We show how such a solver is inherently a preconditioned steepest descent method and therefore a good starting point for rapid convergence. A distinctive feature of our implementation is the absence of any reference to the kinetic energy operator. This is ...
    • Klimakrisen og økonomisk politikk 

      Rypdal, Kristoffer (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2015-11-14)
    • The Kobayashi pseudodistance on almost complex manifolds 

      Overholt, Marius; Kruglikov, Boris S. (Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 1997-03-06)
      We extend the definition of the Kobayashi pseudodistance to almost complex manifolds and show that its familiar properties are for the most part preserved. We also study the automorphism group of an almost complex manifold and finish with some examples.
    • Kompleksiteten til noen kryptologisk viktige algoritmer 

      Brattli, Tore (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 1990-04-04)
      Denne hovedfagsoppgaven har som mål å sammenligne teoretisk og praktisk kompleksitet til algoritmer som har stor kryptologisk betydning. Et av målene er å avsløre den skjulte konstanten bak O-notasjonen, slik at algoritmene kan sammenlignes på et reelt grunnlag. I tillegg er det sett på sammenheng mellom sikkerhet, størrelsen på tall, asymptotisk og praktisk kompleksitet. Spesielt algoritmer som ...
    • Kontinuitet i overgangen fra skole til universitet - Implikasjoner av Fagfornyelsen for MNT-fagene 

      Pedersen, Ida Friestad; Huru, Hilja Lisa; Coucheron, David Andre (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2023-03)
      Med LK20 Fagfornyelsen innføres det nye læreplaner i skolen, der antall kompetansemål i de ulike fagene er noe redusert for å gi mer rom til dybdelæring, samt at læreplanene i matematikk og fysikk har et større fokus på utforsking, modellering og bruk av numeriske metoder enn tidligere (Ludvigsen et al., 2015; Utdanningsdirektoratet, 2020, 2021). I dette bidraget presenterer vi hvordan en gruppe ...
    • Laplace transformation of Lie class ω = 1 overdetermined systems 

      Kruglikov, Boris (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-20)
      In this paper, we investigate overdetermined systems of scalar PDEs on the plane with one common characteristic, whose general solution depends on one function of one variable. We describe linearization of such systems and their integration via Laplace transformation, relating this to Lie's integration theorem and formal theory of PDEs.
    • Large eddy simulation of homogeneous isotropic turbulence 

      Zeigler, Harald Bergersen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-06-02)
      The theme for the master thesis is simulation of homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. I have shown that the energy of the velocity field is decaying in time, but the comparison to the reference solution is however invalid, due to the fact that the reference solution may have scalings that are not obvious to the observer, and that my own simulation results seemed to behave quite strange, with a sudden ...
    • Late Quaternary temperature variability described as abrupt transitions on a 1/f noise background 

      Rypdal, Kristoffer; Rypdal, Martin Wibe (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-31)
      In order to have a scaling description of the climate system that is not inherently non-stationary, the rapid shifts between stadials and interstadials during the last glaciation (the Dansgaard-Oeschger events) cannot be included in the scaling law. The same is true for the shifts between the glacial and interglacial states in the Quaternary climate. When these events are omitted from a scaling ...
    • Late quaternary temperature variability described as abrupt transitions on a 1/f noise background 

      Rypdal, Martin Wibe; Rypdal, Kristoffer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2015-11-09)
      We show that in order to have a scaling description of the climate system that is not inherently non-stationary, the rapid shifts between stadial and interstadial conditions during the last glaciation cannot be included in the scaling law. The same is true for the 5 shifts between the glacial and interglacial states in the quaternary climate. When these events are omitted from a scaling analysis ...
    • Lattice conditional independence models and Hibi ideals 

      Caines, Peter; Mohammadi, Fatemeh; Sáenz-de-Cabezón, Eduardo; Wynn, Henry (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-10)
      Lattice conditional independence models [Andersson and Perlman, Lattice models for conditional independence in a multivariate normal distribution, Ann. Statist. 21 (1993), 1318–1358] are a class of models developed first for the Gaussian case in which a distributive lattice classifies all the conditional independence statements. The main result is that these models can equivalently be described via ...
    • Leakage from medically-certified to self-certified workplace absence among norwegian employees 

      Karlsen, Geir Runar; Ytterstad, Elinor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-05)
      There are two different kinds of sickness absence in Norway: self-certified absence (SCA), and medically-certified absence (MCA). In this study of 6437 Norwegian employees, we applied logistic regression models for a dichotomous SCA variable on initially 38 independent vari- ables including age and gender. Our findings showed that employees reporting long-term health issues but no record of MCA ...
    • Learning similarities between irregularly sampled short multivariate time series from EHRs 

      Mikalsen, Karl Øyvind; Bianchi, Filippo Maria; Soguero-Ruiz, Cristina; Skrøvseth, Stein Olav; Lindsetmo, Rolv-Ole; Revhaug, Arthur; Jenssen, Robert (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016-12-04)
      A large fraction of the Electronic Health Records consists of clinical multivariate time series. Building models for extracting information from these is important for improving the understanding of diseases, patient care and treatment. Such time series are oftentimes particularly challenging since they are characterized by multiple, possibly dependent variables, length variability and irregular ...
    • The Life and Death of the Recent Global Warming Hiatus Parsimoniously Explained 

      Rypdal, Kristoffer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-21)
      The main features of the instrumental global mean surface temperature (GMST) are reasonably well described by a simple linear response model driven by anthropogenic, volcanic and solar forcing. This model acts as a linear long-memory filter of the forcing signal. The physical interpretation of this filtering is the delayed response due to the thermal inertia of the ocean. This description is ...
