Algorithmic and Hardness Results for Fundamental Fair-Division Problems
The theory of fair division addresses the fundamental problem of dividing a set of resources among the participating agents in a satisfactory or meaningfully fair manner. This thesis examines the key computational challenges ... -
Finite Element Analysis of Optimal Control Problems Governed by Certain PDEs
The primary goal of this thesis is to study finite element based \textit{a priori} and \textit{a posteriori} error analysis of optimal control problems of various kinds governed by linear elliptic PDEs of second order. ... -
Hardy's inequalities for Grushin operator and Hermite multipliers on Modulation spaces
This thesis consists of two broad themes. First one revolves around the Hardy's inequalities for the fractional power of Grushin operator $\G$ which is chased via two different approaches. In the first approach, we first ... -
Hermitian Metrics and Singular Riemann Surface Foliations
The main aim of this thesis is to understand curvature properties of a given hermitian metric by restricting it to the leaves of a suitable singular Riemann surface foliation. We will specifically consider the complete ... -
Homogenization of certain PDEs and associated optimal control problems on various rough domains
This thesis is devoted to the study of the asymptotic behavior of partial differential equations (PDEs) and associated boundary and interior optimal control problems in various oscillatory domains. The present thesis ... -
Near Optimal Non-malleable Codes and Leakage Resilient Secret Sharing Schemes
A well-studied class of attacks on cryptosystems called "side-channel attacks", stems from the additional access that an adversary can get due to the susceptibility of the hardware on which the cryptosystem (e.g., digital ... -
Nodal sets of random functions
This thesis is devoted to the study of nodal sets of random functions. The random functions and the specific aspect of their nodalset that we study fall into two broad categories: nodal component count of Gaussian Laplace ... -
On certain invariant measures for correspondences, their analysis, and an application to recurrence
The aim of this dissertation is to analyse a certain class of dynamically interesting mea- sures arising in holomorphic dynamics that goes beyond the classical framework of maps. We study measures associated with semigroups ... -
On the Geometry and Operator Theory of the Bidisc and the Symmetrized Bidisc
This work is concerned with the geometric and operator theoretic aspects of the bidisc and the symmetrized bidisc. First we have focused on the geometry of these two do- mains. The symmetrized bidisc, a non-homogeneous ... -
Positivity preservers forbidden to operate on diagonal blocks
The question of which functions acting entrywise preserve positive semidefiniteness has a long history, beginning with the Schur product theorem [Crelle 1911], which implies that absolutely monotonic functions (i.e., ... -
Structural connectivity correlates of human cognition explored with diffusion MRI and tractography
Intact structural connectivity among brain regions is critical to cognition. Structural connectivity forms the substratum for information flow between brain regions, and its plasticity is a hallmark of learning in the ...
