(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2009)
We set out to find how copula-based dependence modelling of large jumps in the NIG-Lévy model affects the option price. This leads to the definition of a rejection-based approximation algorithm for the NIG-Lévy.

In this thesis, we consider the L^2-Betti numbers associated to algebras and equivalence relations. For algebras, we expand upon the motivation between Connes and Shlyakhtenko's definition of L^2-Betti numbers of tracial ...
Buckling Strength Assessment of Stiffened Steel Panels in Floating Offshore Structures Restricted Access
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2009)
Stiffened plates are common components in many structures, from plate girders and box girder bridges to ships and offshore structures. Stiffened and unstiffened plates buckle into doubly curved surfaces which complicates ...

Summary
In a world where global warming has become an every day expression, the focus on alternative energy sources is rising. The use of wind power has long been an environment friendly option to other more pollutional ...
Workover analysis at ultradeep water structural/fatigue Restricted Access
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2008)
This thesis describes briefly the main components of a deep water WOR and presents results of the structural and fatigue analyses on some of the most critical regions of the riser under normal conditions. The thesis considers ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2009)
Det har lenge vært klart at dødelighet oppfører seg på en stokastisk måte, og at livselskap som følge av forpliktelser som ofte varer i 30 år er sterkt utsatt for risiko som følge av nedgående dødelighet. For å sikre seg ...
