Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
In this thesis, we study the nonlinear nonlocal equation ∂t u=J*u-u+u¹+p where p>0 and J is nonnegative, bounded, and radially symmetric with unit integral. The Fourier transform of J satisfies J ̂(ξ)=1-A|ξ|^β (ln1/|ξ| 〗 )^μ+o(〖|ξ|〗^β (ln〖1/(|ξ|)〗 )^μ ) as ξ→0, for 0<β≤2, μ∈R, and A>0. In this study, we establish the local existence, uniqueness, and the comparison principle of solutions. Furthermore, we show that the Fujita critical exponent for this equation is β/n when μ<0. For the case μ>1, we discover that the critical exponent is β/n , and the solutions belong to the global to the small initial data regime.

Application Of Adversarial Networks In Search For Four Top Quark Production In Cms, Vichayanun Wachirapusitanand
Application Of Adversarial Networks In Search For Four Top Quark Production In Cms, Vichayanun Wachirapusitanand
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
One burden of high energy physics data analysis is uncertainty within the measurement, both systematically and statistically. Even with sophisticated neural network techniques that are used to assist in high energy physics measurements, the resulting measurement may suffer from both types of uncertainties. Fortunately, most types of systematic uncertainties are based on knowledge from information such as theoretical assumptions, for which the range and behaviour are known. It has been proposed to mitigate such systematic uncertainties by using a new type of neural network called adversarial neural network (ANN) that would make the discriminator less sensitive to these uncertainties, but …

Effect Of Local Rewiring In Adaptive Epidemic Erdos-Renyi Random Networks, Suwakan Piankoranee
Effect Of Local Rewiring In Adaptive Epidemic Erdos-Renyi Random Networks, Suwakan Piankoranee
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Adaptive epidemic network is driven by two main processes, (1) infectionrecovery process that changes the states of the nodes, and (2) rewiring process that modifies the topology of the network. In the past two decades, epidemic models on adaptive networks have gained interests because understanding the dynamics between these two processes can be key to improving control of diseases. However, in most of these models, the rewiring mechanism is based on information known globally, i.e., everyone knows the health status of all others in the network. This concept is not practical in real life for large network. This dissertation aims …
