Numerical analysis of finite strain in the warm zand structure
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)This research project had two different parts: The first was about the mapping of a section of the Warm Zand Structure and the collection of strain data. The second part focused on the analysis of the finite strain and ... -
Numerical Methods for Mathematical Models on Warrant Pricing
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)Warrant pricing has become very crucial in the present market scenario. See, for example, M. Hanke and K. Potzelberger, Consistent pricing of warrants and traded options, Review Financial Economics 11(1) (2002) 63-77 where ... -
Numerical methods for the valuation of financial derivatives
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)Numerical methods form an important part of the pricing of financial derivatives and especially in cases where there is no closed form analytical formula. We begin our work with an introduction of the mathematical tools ... -
Numerical singular perturbation approaches based on spline approximation methods for solving problems in computational finance
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)Options are a special type of derivative securities because their values are derived from the value of some underlying security. Most options can be grouped into either of the two categories: European options which can be ... -

Numerical techniques for optimal investment consumption models
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)The problem of optimal investment has been extensively studied by numerous researchers in order to generalize the original framework. Those generalizations have been made in different directions and using different techniques. ... -
Numerical Treatment of Non-Linear singular pertubation problems
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)This thesis deals with the design and implementation of some novel numerical methods for non-linear singular pertubations problems (NSPPs). It provide a survey of asymptotic and numerical methods for some NSPPs in the past ... -

Observations on the biology and seasonal variation in feeding of the East Coast redeye round herring (Etrumeus wongratanai) (Clupeiformes), off Scottburgh, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)The basic biology and ecology of Etrumeus wongratanai was investigated from samples of fish collected by jigging off Scottburgh, Kwazulu-Natal throughout 2014 and 2015. A total of 516 otoliths, 401 gonads, 140 stomachs and ... -
Observations on the ecology and life-history of Chrysaora fulgida (Reynaud 1830) (Scyphozoa: Semaeostomeae) and other pelagic cnidarians in the inshore waters off central Namibia
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Although jellyfish are recognised recently as key components that can influence ecosystem functioning and trophic flows in the northern Benguela upwelling ecosystem, the number of published studies on their abundance, ... -
The observed bispectrum for SKA and other galaxy surveys
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Next-generation galaxy surveys will usher in a new era of high precision cosmology. They will increasingly rely on the galaxy bispectrum to provide improved constraints on the key parameters of a cosmological model to ... -
Octupole and quadrupole structures in the N=88 nucleus 152Gd
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)The focus for this work is on 152Gd produced by the 150Sm( , 2n)152Gd reaction at a beam energy of 25 MeV. The nucleus has been previously studied for both low spin states and high spin states at di erent energies. The ... -
On the design and implementation of a hybrid numerical method for singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)With the development of technology seen in the last few decades, numerous solvers have been developed to provide adequate solutions to the problems that model different aspects of science and engineering. Quite often, these ... -
On the efficacy of enhanced feature selection methods for supervised crime prediction
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)The challenge of crime across the globe has necessitated several considerations for crime preventive measures. There exist a variety of crime prevention strategies, such as the use of necessary weapons or tools to respond ... -
On the method of lines for singularly perturbed partial differential equations
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Many chemical and physical problems are mathematically described by partial differential equations (PDEs). These PDEs are often highly nonlinear and therefore have no closed form solutions. Thus, it is necessary to ... -
On the numerical integration of singularly perturbed Volterra integro-differential equations
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Efficient numerical approaches for parameter dependent problems have been an inter- esting subject to numerical analysts and engineers over the past decades. This is due to the prominent role that these problems play in ... -
On the primarity of some block intersection graphs
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)A tactical con guration consists of a nite set V of points, a nite set B of blocks and an incidence relation between them, so that all blocks are incident with the same number k points, and all points are incident with ... -
OnabotulinumtoxinA Injection for Glabellar Frown Lines as an Adjunctive Treatment for Depression
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Depression is one of the most prevalent mental disorders worldwide. Sadness, fear and anger which are considered as negative emotions and are common in depression are coupled with the stimulation of the Corrugator supercilli ... -
One-Dimensional nanostructured polymeric materials for solar cell applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)This work entails the preparation of various polyanilines with different morphologies and their application in photovoltaic solar cells. Zinc oxide (ZnO) with one-dimensional and flower-like morphology was also prepared ... -
Ongoing development of guidelines for biosimilar medicines assessment in Uganda: Critical evaluation and recommendations for inclusion
