Some Remarks on Functional Analysis (2014)
Book Chapter

Functional analysis is a key tool in the study of partial differential equations which helps to answer key questions such as existence, well-posedness, and the class in which a solution should belong. We begin these remarks by introducing normed spac... Read More about Some Remarks on Functional Analysis.

Power production via North Sea Hot Brines (2014)
Journal Article

Traditionally the power demand of offshore oil platforms is delivered by on-platform gas turbines. Natural gas to fuel these turbines is usually separated from the produced oil. However, in ageing fields as oil production declines so does the associa... Read More about Power production via North Sea Hot Brines.

Estimating a Path through a Map of Decision Making (2014)
Journal Article

Studies of the evolution of collective behavior consider the payoffs of individual versus social learning. We have previously proposed that the relative magnitude of social versus individual learning could be compared against the transparency of payo...
