In conjunction with additional conditions (like symmetry conditions), this theorem permits one to compute the analytical index of a given operator. In particular, we obtain new index formulas for elliptic pseudodifferential operators and quantized canonical transformations on manifolds with conical singularities.},

  abstract  = {Linear and non-linear analogues of the Black-Scholes equation are derived when shocks can be described by a truncated L{\´e}vy process. A linear equation is derived under the perfect correlation assumption on returns for a derivative security and a stock, and its solutions for European put and call options are obtained. It is also shown that the solution violates the perfect correlation assumption unless a process is gaussian. Thus, for a family of truncated L{\´e}vy distributions, the perfect hedging is impossible even in the continuous time limit. A second linear analogue of the Black-Scholes equation is obtained by constructing a portfolio which eliminates fluctuations of the first order and assuming that the portfolio is risk-free; it is shown that this assumption fails unless a process is gaussian. It is shown that the di erence between solutions to the linear analogues of the Black-Scholes equations and solutions to the Black-Scholes equations are sizable. The equations and solutions can be written in a discretized approximate form which uses an observed probability distribution only. Non-linear analogues for the Black-Scholes equation are derived from the non-arbitrage condition, and approximate formulas for solutions of these equations are suggested. Assuming that a linear generalization of the Black-Scholes equation holds, we derive an explicit pricing formula for the perpetual American put option and produce numerical results which show that the difference between our result and the classical Merton's formula obtained for gaussian processes can be substantial. Our formula uses an observed distribution density, under very weak assumptions on the latter.},

A substantial contribution was done by Friedman and Sakai [10]; they showed that if the complement is bounded, then null quadrature domains are exactly the complement of ellip- soids. The first result with unbounded complements appeared in [15], there it is assumed the complement is contained in an infinitely cylinder. The aim of this paper is to show the relation between null quadrature domains and Newton's theorem on the gravitational force induced by homogeneous homoeoidal ellipsoids. We also succeed to make progress in the classification problem and we show that if the boundary of null quadrature domain is contained in a strip and the complement satisfies a certain capacity condition at infinity, then it must be a half-space or a complement of a strip. In addition, we present a Phragm\Pen-Lindel{\"o}f type theorem which seems to be forgotten in the literature.},

Our proposal is to use nonparametric estimation methods. These methods are explained in section 2. Nonparametric approaches are better in the sense that they are more flexible, and misspecifications of the model are avoided. But, parametric models have the advantage that the parameters can be interpreted.

Recently, B{\"a}r and Strohmaier [15] and Drago, Große, and Murro [27] introduced APS-like conditions for the spin Dirac operator on Lorentzian manifolds with spacelike and timelike boundary, respectively. While B{\"a}r and Strohmaier [15] showed the Fredholmness of the Dirac operator with these boundary conditions, Drago, Große, and Murro [27] proved the well-posedness of the corresponding initial boundary value problem under certain geometric assumptions. In this thesis, we will follow the footsteps of the latter authors and discuss whether the APS-like conditions for Dirac operators on Lorentzian manifolds with timelike boundary can be replaced by more general conditions such that the associated initial boundary value problems are still wellposed. We consider boundary conditions that are local in time and non-local in the spatial directions. More precisely, we use the spacetime foliation arising from the Cauchy temporal function and split the Dirac operator along this foliation. This gives rise to a family of elliptic operators each acting on spinors of the spin bundle over the corresponding timeslice. The theory of elliptic operators then ensures that we can find families of non-local boundary conditions with respect to this family of operators. Proceeding, we use such a family of boundary conditions to define a Lorentzian boundary condition on the whole timelike boundary. By analyzing the properties of the Lorentzian boundary conditions, we then find sufficient conditions on the family of non-local boundary conditions that lead to the well-posedness of the corresponding Cauchy problems. The well-posedness itself will then be proven by using classical tools including energy estimates and approximation by solutions of the regularized problems. Moreover, we use this theory to construct explicit boundary conditions for the Lorentzian Dirac operator. More precisely, we will discuss two examples of boundary conditions - the analogue of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer and the chirality conditions, respectively, in our setting. For doing this, we will have a closer look at the theory of non-local boundary conditions for elliptic operators and analyze the requirements on the family of non-local boundary conditions for these specific examples.},

  abstract  = {Die Vielf{\"a}ltigkeit des Winkelbegriffs ist gleichermaßen spannend wie herausfordernd in Hinblick auf seine Zug{\"a}nge im Mathematikunterricht der Schule. Ausgehend von verschiedenen Vorstellungen zum Winkelbegriff wird in dieser Arbeit ein Lehrgang zur Vermittlung des Winkelbegriffs entwickelt und letztlich in konkrete Umsetzungen f{\"u}r den Schulunterricht {\"u}berf{\"u}hrt. Dabei erfolgt zun{\"a}chst eine stoffdidaktische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Winkelbegriff, die von einer informationstheoretischen Winkeldefinition begleitet wird. In dieser wird eine Definition f{\"u}r den Winkelbegriff unter der Fragestellung entwickelt, welche Informationen man {\"u}ber einen Winkel ben{\"o}tigt, um ihn beschreiben zu k{\"o}nnen. So k{\"o}nnen die in der fachdidaktischen Literatur auftretenden Winkelvorstellungen aus fachmathematischer Perspektive erneut abgeleitet und validiert werden. Parallel dazu wird ein Verfahren beschrieben, wie Winkel - auch unter dynamischen Aspekten - informationstechnisch verarbeitet werden k{\"o}nnen, so dass Schlussfolgerungen aus der informationstheoretischen Winkeldefinition beispielsweise in dynamischen Geometriesystemen zur Verf{\"u}gung stehen. Unter dem Gesichtspunkt, wie eine Abstraktion des Winkelbegriffs im Mathematikunterricht vonstatten gehen kann, werden die Grundvorstellungsidee sowie die Lehrstrategie des Aufsteigens vom Abstrakten zum Konkreten miteinander in Beziehung gesetzt. Aus der Verkn{\"u}pfung der beiden Theorien wird ein grunds{\"a}tzlicher Weg abgeleitet, wie im Rahmen der Lehrstrategie eine Ausgangsabstraktion zu einzelnen Winkelaspekten aufgebaut werden kann, was die Generierung von Grundvorstellungen zu den Bestandteilen des jeweiligen Winkelaspekts und zum Operieren mit diesen Begriffsbestandteilen erm{\"o}glichen soll. Hierf{\"u}r wird die Lehrstrategie angepasst, um insbesondere den {\"U}bergang von Winkelsituationen zu Winkelkontexten zu realisieren. Explizit f{\"u}r den Aspekt des Winkelfeldes werden, anhand der Untersuchung der Sichtfelder von Tieren, Lernhandlungen und Forderungen an ein Lernmodell beschrieben, die Sch{\"u}lerinnen und Sch{\"u}ler bei der Begriffsaneignung unterst{\"u}tzen. Die T{\"a}tigkeitstheorie, der die genannte Lehrstrategie zuzuordnen ist, zieht sich als roter Faden durch die weitere Arbeit, wenn nun theoriebasiert Designprinzipien generiert werden, die in die Entwicklung einer interaktiven Lernumgebung m{\"u}nden. Hierzu wird u. a. das Modell der Artifact-Centric Activity Theory genutzt, das das Beziehungsgef{\"u}ge aus Sch{\"u}lerinnen und Sch{\"u}lern, dem mathematischen Gegenstand und einer zu entwickelnden App als vermittelndes Medium beschreibt, wobei der Einsatz der App im Unterrichtskontext sowie deren regelgeleitete Entwicklung Bestandteil des Modells sind. Gem{\"a}ß dem Ansatz der Fachdidaktischen Entwicklungsforschung wird die Lernumgebung anschließend in mehreren Zyklen erprobt, evaluiert und {\"u}berarbeitet. Dabei wird ein qualitatives Setting angewandt, das sich der Semiotischen Vermittlung bedient und untersucht, inwiefern sich die Qualit{\"a}t der von den Sch{\"u}lerinnen und Sch{\"u}lern gezeigten Lernhandlungen durch die Designprinzipien und deren Umsetzung erkl{\"a}ren l{\"a}sst.

  abstract  = {In many statistical applications, the aim is to model the relationship between covariates and some outcomes. A choice of the appropriate model depends on the outcome and the research objectives, such as linear models for continuous outcomes, logistic models for binary outcomes and the Cox model for time-to-event data. In epidemiological, medical, biological, societal and economic studies, the logistic regression is widely used to describe the relationship between a response variable as binary outcome and explanatory variables as a set of covariates. However, epidemiologic cohort studies are quite expensive regarding data management since following up a large number of individuals takes long time. Therefore, the case-cohort design is applied to reduce cost and time for data collection. The case-cohort sampling collects a small random sample from the entire cohort, which is called subcohort. The advantage of this design is that the covariate and follow-up data are recorded only on the subcohort and all cases (all members of the cohort who develop the event of interest during the follow-up process). In this thesis, we investigate the estimation in the logistic model for case-cohort design. First, a model with a binary response and a binary covariate is considered. The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is described and its asymptotic properties are established. An estimator for the asymptotic variance of the estimator based on the maximum likelihood approach is proposed; this estimator differs slightly from the estimator introduced by Prentice (1986). Simulation results for several proportions of the subcohort show that the proposed estimator gives lower empirical bias and empirical variance than Prentice's estimator. Then the MLE in the logistic regression with discrete covariate under case-cohort design is studied. Here the approach of the binary covariate model is extended. Proving asymptotic normality of estimators, standard errors for the estimators can be derived. The simulation study demonstrates the estimation procedure of the logistic regression model with a one-dimensional discrete covariate. Simulation results for several proportions of the subcohort and different choices of the underlying parameters indicate that the estimator developed here performs reasonably well. Moreover, the comparison between theoretical values and simulation results of the asymptotic variance of estimator is presented. Clearly, the logistic regression is sufficient for the binary outcome refers to be available for all subjects and for a fixed time interval. Nevertheless, in practice, the observations in clinical trials are frequently collected for different time periods and subjects may drop out or relapse from other causes during follow-up. Hence, the logistic regression is not appropriate for incomplete follow-up data; for example, an individual drops out of the study before the end of data collection or an individual has not occurred the event of interest for the duration of the study. These observations are called censored observations. The survival analysis is necessary to solve these problems. Moreover, the time to the occurence of the event of interest is taken into account. The Cox model has been widely used in survival analysis, which can effectively handle the censored data. Cox (1972) proposed the model which is focused on the hazard function. The Cox model is assumed to be λ(t|x) = λ0(t) exp(β^Tx) where λ0(t) is an unspecified baseline hazard at time t and X is the vector of covariates, β is a p-dimensional vector of coefficient. In this thesis, the Cox model is considered under the view point of experimental design. The estimability of the parameter β0 in the Cox model, where β0 denotes the true value of β, and the choice of optimal covariates are investigated. We give new representations of the observed information matrix In(β) and extend results for the Cox model of Andersen and Gill (1982). In this way conditions for the estimability of β0 are formulated. Under some regularity conditions, ∑ is the inverse of the asymptotic variance matrix of the MPLE of β0 in the Cox model and then some properties of the asymptotic variance matrix of the MPLE are highlighted. Based on the results of asymptotic estimability, the calculation of local optimal covariates is considered and shown in examples. In a sensitivity analysis, the efficiency of given covariates is calculated. For neighborhoods of the exponential models, the efficiencies have then been found. It is appeared that for fixed parameters β0, the efficiencies do not change very much for different baseline hazard functions. Some proposals for applicable optimal covariates and a calculation procedure for finding optimal covariates are discussed. Furthermore, the extension of the Cox model where time-dependent coefficient are allowed, is investigated. In this situation, the maximum local partial likelihood estimator for estimating the coefficient function β(·) is described. Based on this estimator, we formulate a new test procedure for testing, whether a one-dimensional coefficient function β(·) has a prespecified parametric form, say β(·; ϑ). The score function derived from the local constant partial likelihood function at d distinct grid points is considered. It is shown that the distribution of the properly standardized quadratic form of this d-dimensional vector under the null hypothesis tends to a Chi-squared distribution. Moreover, the limit statement remains true when replacing the unknown ϑ0 by the MPLE in the hypothetical model and an asymptotic α-test is given by the quantiles or p-values of the limiting Chi-squared distribution. Finally, we propose a bootstrap version of this test. The bootstrap test is only defined for the special case of testing whether the coefficient function is constant. A simulation study illustrates the behavior of the bootstrap test under the null hypothesis and a special alternative. It gives quite good results for the chosen underlying model. References P. K.

At each level there are measured some metric or categorical values. We introduce a new method of scaling based on statistical decisions. For this we define empirical probabilities for the original observations and find a class of distributions in a metric space where these empirical probabilities can be found as approximations for equivalently defined probabilities. With this method we identify probabilities connected with the categorical data and probabilities in metric spaces. Here we get a mapping from the levels of factors or names into points of a metric space. This mapping yields the scale for the categorical data.

  abstract  = {Continuous insight into biological processes has led to the development of large-scale, mechanistic systems biology models of pharmacologically relevant networks. While these models are typically designed to study the impact of diverse stimuli or perturbations on multiple system variables, the focus in pharmacological research is often on a specific input, e.g., the dose of a drug, and a specific output related to the drug effect or response in terms of some surrogate marker. To study a chosen input-output pair, the complexity of the interactions as well as the size of the models hinders easy access and understanding of the details of the input-output relationship. The objective of this thesis is the development of a mathematical approach, in specific a model reduction technique, that allows (i) to quantify the importance of the different state variables for a given input-output relationship, and (ii) to reduce the dynamics to its essential features -- allowing for a physiological interpretation of state variables as well as parameter estimation in the statistical analysis of clinical data. We develop a model reduction technique using a control theoretic setting by first defining a novel type of time-limited controllability and observability gramians for nonlinear systems. We then show the superiority of the time-limited generalised gramians for nonlinear systems in the context of balanced truncation for a benchmark system from control theory. The concept of time-limited controllability and observability gramians is subsequently used to introduce a state and time-dependent quantity called the input-response (ir) index that quantifies the importance of state variables for a given input-response relationship at a particular time. We subsequently link our approach to sensitivity analysis, thus, enabling for the first time the use of sensitivity coefficients for state space reduction. The sensitivity based ir-indices are given as a product of two sensitivity coefficients. This allows not only for a computational more efficient calculation but also for a clear distinction of the extent to which the input impacts a state variable and the extent to which a state variable impacts the output. The ir-indices give insight into the coordinated action of specific state variables for a chosen input-response relationship. Our developed model reduction technique results in reduced models that still allow for a mechanistic interpretation in terms of the quantities/state variables of the original system, which is a key requirement in the field of systems pharmacology and systems biology and distinguished the reduced models from so-called empirical drug effect models. The ir-indices are explicitly defined with respect to a reference trajectory and thereby dependent on the initial state (this is an important feature of the measure). This is demonstrated for an example from the field of systems pharmacology, showing that the reduced models are very informative in their ability to detect (genetic) deficiencies in certain physiological entities. Comparing our novel model reduction technique to the already existing techniques shows its superiority. The novel input-response index as a measure of the importance of state variables provides a powerful tool for understanding the complex dynamics of large-scale systems in the context of a specific drug-response relationship. Furthermore, the indices provide a means for a very efficient model order reduction and, thus, an important step towards translating insight from biological processes incorporated in detailed systems pharmacology models into the population analysis of clinical data.},

Perturbing the Cauchy problem for an elliptic system Au = f in D with data on a closed set Γ ⊂ ∂D we obtain a family of mixed problems depending on a small parameter ε > 0. Although the mixed problems are subject to a non-coercive boundary condition on ∂D\Γ in general, each of them is uniquely solvable in an appropriate Hilbert space DT and the corresponding family {uε} of solutions approximates the solution of the Cauchy problem in DT whenever the solution exists. We also prove that the existence of a solution to the Cauchy problem in DT is equivalent to the boundedness of the family {uε}. We thus derive a solvability condition for the Cauchy problem and an effective method of constructing its solution. Examples for Dirac operators in the Euclidean space Rn are considered. In the latter case we obtain a family of mixed boundary problems for the Helmholtz equation.},

  abstract  = {Das Willmore Funktional ist eine Funktion die jeder Fl{\"a}che in einer Riemannschen Mannigfaltigkeit, ihre totale mittlere Kr{\"u}mmung zuweist. Ein klassisches Problem der Differentialgeometrie ist es geschlossene (kompakt und ohne Rand) Fl{\"a}chen zu finden die das Willmore funktional minimieren, beziehungsweise die kritische Punkte des Willmore Funktionals sind. In dieser Doktorarbeit entwickeln wir ein Konzept von verallgemeinerten Willmore Funktionalen f{\"u}r Fl{\"a}chen in Riemannschen Mannigfaltigkeiten, wobei wir uns von physikalischen Modellen leiten lassen. Insbesondere ist hier die Hawking Energie der allgemeinen Relativit{\"a}tstheorie und die Biegungsenergie von d{\"u}nnen Membranen zu nennen. F{\"u}r dieses verallgemeinerten Willmore Funktionale beweisen wir die Existenz von Minimieren mit vorgeschriebenen Fl{\"a}cheninhalt, in einer geeigneten Klasse von verallgemeinerten Fl{\"a}chen. Insbesondere konstruieren wir Minimierer der oben erw{\"a}hnten Biegungsenergie mit vorgeschrieben Fl{\"a}cheninhalt und vorgeschriebenen, eingeschlossenem Volumen. Außerdem beweisen wir, dass kritische Punkte von verallgemeinerten Willmore Funktionalen mit vorgeschriebenen Fl{\"a}cheninhalt abseits endlich vieler Punkte glatt sind. Dabei st{\"u}tzen wir uns, wie auch im folgenden, auf die bestehende Theorie f{\"u}r das Willmore Funktional. An diese allgemeinen Resultate schließen wir eine detailliertere Analyse der Hawking Energie an. Im Kontext der allgemeinen Relativit{\"a}tstheorie beschreibt die Umgebungsmannigfaltigkeit den Raum zu einem Zeitpunkt. Daher sind wir an dem Wechselspiel zwischen der Hawking Energie und der umgebenden Mannigfaltigkeit interessiert. Wir charakterisieren Punkte in der umgebenden Mannigfaltigkeit f{\"u}r die es in jeder Umgebung eine kritische Fl{\"a}che mit vorgeschriebenem, kleinem Fl{\"a}cheninhalt gibt. Diese Punnkte werden als Konzentrationspunkte der Hawking Energie interpretiert. Außerdem berechnen wir eine Entwicklung der Hawking Energie auf kleinen, runden Sph{\"a}ren. Dadurch k{\"o}nnen wir eine Art Energiedichte der Hawking Energie identifizieren. Hierbei ist anzumerken, dass unsere Resultate im Kontrast zu Ergebnissen in der Literatur stehen. Dort wurde berechnet, dass die Entwicklung der Hawking Energie auf Sph{\"a}ren im Lichtkegel eines Punktes der umgebenden Mannigfaltigkeit in f{\"u}hrender Ordnung proportional zur der klassischen Energiedichte der allgemeinen Relativit{\"a}tstheorie ist. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt ist nicht klar wie diese Diskrepanz zu begr{\"u}nden ist. Ferner betrachten wir asymptotisch Schwarzschild Mannigfaltigkeiten. Sie sind ein Spezialfall von asymptotisch flachen Mannigfaltigkeiten, welche in der allgemeinen Relativit{\"a}tstheorie als Modelle f{\"u}r isolierte Systeme dienen. Die Schwarzschild Raumzeit selbst ist eine rotationssymmetrische Raumzeit die schwarzen Loch beschreibt. In diesen asymptotisch Schwarzschild Mannigfaltigkeiten konstruieren wir eine Bl{\"a}tterung des {\"a}ußeren Bereiches durch kritische Fl{\"a}chen der Hawking Energie mit vorgeschriebenen Fl{\"a}cheninhalt. Diese Bl{\"a}tterung kann in einem verallgemeinertem Sinne als Schwerpunkt des isolierten Systems betrachtet werden. Außerdem zeigen wir, dass die Hawking Energie entlang der Bl{\"a}tterung w{\"a}chst je gr{\"o}ßer die Fl{\"a}chen werden.},

  abstract  = {The first thing we do upon waking is open our eyes. Rotating them in our eye sockets, we scan our surroundings and collect the information into a picture in our head. Eye movements can be split into saccades and fixational eye movements, which occur when we attempt to fixate our gaze. The latter consists of microsaccades, drift and tremor. Before we even lift our eye lids, eye movements - such as saccades and microsaccades that let the eyes jump from one to another position - have partially been prepared in the brain stem. Saccades and microsaccades are often assumed to be generated by the same mechanisms. But how saccades and microsaccades can be classified according to shape has not yet been reported in a statistical manner. Research has put more effort into the investigations of microsaccades' properties and generation only since the last decade. Consequently, we are only beginning to understand the dynamic processes governing microsaccadic eye movements. Within this thesis, the dynamics governing the generation of microsaccades is assessed and the development of a model for the underlying processes. Eye movement trajectories from different experiments are used, recorded with a video-based eye tracking technique, and a novel method is proposed for the scale-invariant detection of saccades (events of large amplitude) and microsaccades (events of small amplitude). Using a time-frequency approach, the method is examined with different experiments and validated against simulated data. A shape model is suggested that allows for a simple estimation of saccade- and microsaccade related properties. For sequences of microsaccades, in this thesis a time-dynamic Markov model is proposed, with a memory horizon that changes over time and which can best describe sequences of microsaccades.},
