    • 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 for the kinetics of some carbohydrate enzymes 

      Mai, Vinh Quang (NUI Galway, 2019-10-17)
      In this thesis, some mathematical models for the mechanism of action of carbohydrate enzymes are developed and analysed. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to enzymes and their applications. In Chapter 2, ...

    • Moving mesh methods for problems with layer phenomena 

      Hill, Róisín (NUI Galway, 2022-06-10)
      This thesis is concerned with developing, implementing, testing and refining novel algorithms for generating layer-adapted meshes for the numerical solution of singularly perturbed differential equations (SPDEs). We consider ...

    • Noise in nonsmooth dynamical systems 

      Staunton, Eoghan J. (NUI Galway, 2020-01-24)
      This article-based thesis comprises a collection of four articles, each of which constitutes a chapter, written and formatted in pre-print manuscript form. The general aim underlying these articles is to understand how ...

    • Thinning instabilities in biological and electroactive membranes 

      Greaney, Paul (NUI Galway, 2018-10-31)
      This thesis addresses several problems in the mathematical modelling of biological and electroactive membranes. We begin with a review of the necessary scientific background of biological and electroactive membranes. ...

    • Wrinkles and waves in soft dielectric plates 

      Conroy Broderick, Hannah (NUI Galway, 2020-07-15)
      This article-based thesis comprises a collection of three articles, each of which constitutes a separate chapter, written and formatted in pre-print manuscript form. The general aim of the thesis is to model instabilities ...
