Due to the brittleness of silicon, the use of a diamond wire to cut silicon wafers is a critical
stage in solar cell manufacturing. In order to improve the production yield of the cutting …

We analyze the convergence of quasi‐Newton methods in exact and finite precision
arithmetic using three different techniques. We derive an upper bound for the stagnation …

The overarching objective of this doctoral thesis is the development of a rigorous paradigm
for molecular simulation based on non-reversible Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) …
