Nonparametric Methods For Data In Infinite Dimensional Space., Anirvan Chakraborty Dr. Dec 2015

Nonparametric Methods For Data In Infinite Dimensional Space., Anirvan Chakraborty Dr.

Doctoral Theses

For univariate as well as finite dimensional multivariate data, there is an extensive literature on nonparametric statistical methods. One of the reasons for the popularity of nonparametric methods is that it is often difficult to justify the assumptions (e.g., Gaussian distribution of the data) made in the models used in parametric methods. Nonparametric procedures use more flexible models, which involve less assumptions. So, they are more robust against possible departures from the model assumptions, and are applicable to a wide variety of data. Nonparametric methods outperform their parametric competitors in many situations, where the assumptions required for the parametric methods …


Foliations With Geometric Structures: An Approach Through H-Principle., Sauvik Mukherjee Dr. Sep 2015

Foliations With Geometric Structures: An Approach Through H-Principle., Sauvik Mukherjee Dr.

Doctoral Theses

A foliation on a manifold M can be informally thought of as a partition of M into injectively immersed submanifolds, called leaves. In this thesis we study foliations whose leaves carry some specific geometric structures.The thesis consists of two parts. In the first part we classify foliations on open manifolds whose leaves are either locally conformal symplectic or contact manifolds. These foliations can be described by some higher geometric structures - namely the Poisson and the Jacobi structures. In the second part of the thesis, we consider foliations on open contact manifolds whose leaves are contact submanifolds of the ambient …


On The Analysis Of Some Recursive Equations In Probability., Arunangshu Biswas Dr. Sep 2015

On The Analysis Of Some Recursive Equations In Probability., Arunangshu Biswas Dr.

Doctoral Theses

This thesis deals with recursive systems used in theoretical and applied probability. Recursive systems are stochastic processes {Xn}n≥1 where the Xn depends on the earlier Xn−1 and also on some increment process which is uncorrelated with the process Xn. The simplest example of a recursive system is the Random Walk, whose properties have been extensively studied. Mathematically a recursive system takes the form Xn = f(Xn−1, n), is the increment/ innovation procedure and f(·, ·) is a function on the product space of xn and n. We first consider a recursive system called Self-Normalized sums (SNS) corresponding to a sequence …


Some Issues In Unsupervised Feature Selection Using Similarity., Partha Pratim Kundu Dr. Aug 2015

Some Issues In Unsupervised Feature Selection Using Similarity., Partha Pratim Kundu Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Pattern recognition is what humans do most of the time, without any conscious effort, and fortunately excel in. Information is received through various sensory organs, processed simultaneously in the brain, and its source is instantaneously identified without any perceptible effort. The interesting issue is that recognition occurs even under non-ideal conditions, i.e., when information is vague, imprecise or incomplete. In reality, most human activities depend on the success in performing various pattern recognition tasks. Let us consider an example. Before boarding a train or bus, we first select the appropriate one by identifying either the route number or its destination …

Euler Class Groups Of Polynomial And Sub Integral Extensions Of A Noetherian Ring., Md. Ali Zinna Dr. Jul 2015

Euler Class Groups Of Polynomial And Sub Integral Extensions Of A Noetherian Ring., Md. Ali Zinna Dr.

Doctoral Theses

ObjectiveThe main objectives of this thesis are the following:(i) To investigate the behaviour of the Euler class groups under integral and subintegral extensions. More precisely, given a subintegral (or integral) extension R+ S of Noetherian rings, we are interested in finding out the relationship between the Euler class group of R and the Euler class group of S.(ii) To develop a theory (namely, an extension of the theory of Euler class group to the Euler class group of R[T) relative to a projective R[T|-module L of rank 1) in order to detect the precise obstruction for a projective R[T]-module P …


Some Problems In Differential And Subdifferential Calculus Of Matrices., Priyanka Grover Dr. May 2015

Some Problems In Differential And Subdifferential Calculus Of Matrices., Priyanka Grover Dr.

Doctoral Theses

A central problem in many subjects like matrix analysis, perturbation theory, numerical analysis and physics is to study the effect of small changes in a matrix A on a function f(A). Among much studied functions on the space of matrices are trace, determinant, permanent, eigenvalues, norms. These are real or complex valued functions. In addition, there are some interesting functions that are matrix valued. For example, the (matrix) absolute value, tensor power, antisymmetric tensor power, symmetric tensor power.When a function is differentiable, one of the ways to study the above problem is by using the derivative of f at A, …


Some Studies On Selected Stream Ciphers Analysis Fault Attack & Related Results., Subhadeep Banik Dr. May 2015

Some Studies On Selected Stream Ciphers Analysis Fault Attack & Related Results., Subhadeep Banik Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Stream Ciphers are important Symmetric Cryptological primitives, built for the purpose of providing secure message encryption. As no formal security proofs exist, our confidence in these algorithms is largely based on the fact that intense cryptanalysis has been carried out over several years without revealing any weakness. This thesis makes some independent contributions to the cryptanalysis of a selection of stream ciphers.In this thesis, we take a closer look at two stream ciphers viz. RC4+ designed by Maitra et al. at Indocrypt 2008 and GGHN designed by Gong et al. at CISC 2005. Both these ciphers were designed as viable …


Generic Constructions Of Different Cryptographic Primitives Over Various Public Key Paradigms., Sumit Kumar Pandey Dr. Feb 2015

Generic Constructions Of Different Cryptographic Primitives Over Various Public Key Paradigms., Sumit Kumar Pandey Dr.

Doctoral Theses

In this thesis, we study the generic construction of some cryptographic primitives over various public key paradigms like traditional Public Key Cryptosystems and Identity Based Cryptosystems. It can be broadly divided into two categories1. Generic construction of some highly secure cryptographic primitives from less secure cryptographic primitives, and2. Generic construction of some complex cryptographic primitives from basic cryptographic primitives. Mathematical tools provide a way to achieve cryptographic functionality like confidentiality, authentication, data-integrity, non-repudiation etc., but in the case of complex cryptographic functionality like achieving confidentiality and authentication at the same time or confidentiality, authentication and non-repudiation at the same time …


Some Conjugacy Problems In Algebraic Groups., Anirban Bose Dr. Feb 2015

Some Conjugacy Problems In Algebraic Groups., Anirban Bose Dr.

Doctoral Theses

In this thesis we address two problems related to the study of algebraic groups and Lie groups. The first one deals with computation of an invariant called the genus number of a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field and that of a compact connected Lie group. The second problem is about characterisation of real elements in exceptional groups of type F4 defined over an arbitrary field. Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field or a compact connected Lie group. Let ZG(x) denote the centralizer of x ∈ G. Define the genus …
