    • Emergence in hybrid adaptive multi-agent systems 

      Burke, Richard (NUI Galway, 2021-03-10)
      This thesis investigates a number of hybrid adaptive strategies to drive multi-agent systems from initial states of disorder towards consensus or favourable configurations. The dynamics of the agents and their communicative ...

    • Exploiting individual agent properties for analysis and control of collective network evolution 

      Galizia, Roberto (NUI Galway, 2021-02-24)
      In this thesis, we investigate linearly coupled dynamic networks made up of identical oscillators. We study the principles in which the dynamical features of the underlying constituent agents transfer to the collective ...

    • Mathematical models of centromere associating proteins 

      Doherty, Kevin (2014-07-11)
      This thesis describes the development and analysis of new mathematical models of Centromere Protein A (CENP-A) incorporation in mammalian centromeres, intermolecular autophosphorylation and Aurora B kinase activity in ...

    • Mathematical models of seasonally migrating populations 

      Donohue, John (2015-12-15)
      The phenomenon of seasonal migration has attracted a wealth of attention from biologists. However, the dynamics of migratory populations have been little considered. In this thesis, we use differential equations to model ...

    • Theoretical and numerical analysis of rigid-body impacts with friction 

      Burns, Shane Joseph (2015-11-19)
      This thesis gives a flavour of the area of rigid body impacts with friction, an area which has far reaching applications in engineering, sports science and every day life. The focus of this work will be on the two main ...
