Chau, K.W. (author), Tang, Jok (author), Oosterlee, C.W. (author)In this work, we developed a Python demonstrator for pricing total valuation adjustment (XVA) based on the stochastic grid bundling method (SGBM). XVA is an advanced risk management concept which became relevant after the recent financial crisis. This work is a follow-up work on Chau and Oosterlee in (Int J Comput Math 96(11):2272–2301, 2019)...journal article 2020

Bartczak, Konrad (author)Displacement control is of utmost importance in deep excavation design and is usually based on numerical modelling, e.g. Finite Element Method (FEM). Numerical methods tend to be more conservative when analysing soil behaviour during deep excavation, whereas for practical and economic reasons this is not favoured. The inverse analysis allows for...master thesis 2020

Li, Chulong (author)A new approach to applying the finite difference method for solving the plate model problem. By decomposing higher-order differential equations in plate theory into several first-order differential equations, a python program was built in an attempt to solve those equations with first-order finite difference approximation. After testing several...master thesis 2020

Chacon Hurtado, J.C. (author), Scholten, L. (author)Environmental decisions are complex as they are multi-dimensional, highly interdisciplinary and not only involve multiple stakeholders with conflicting objectives, but also many possible alternatives with uncertain consequences. The difficulty lies in making trade-offs between tough value trade-offs on the one hand while appreciating...journal article 2020

Rongen, G.W.F. (author), 't Hart, C.M.P. (author), Leontaris, G. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author)This is an update to PII: S2352711018300608 and S2352711019302419 In this paper, we present three main improvements of ANDURIL and its python version ANDURYL. First the MATLAB version ANDURIL is brought to the Python version standard by implementing (i) user defined quantiles and (ii) the possibility to deal with missing values. Second, the...journal article 2020

Lepillier, B.P. (author), Bruna, P.B.R. (author), Bruhn, D.F. (author), Bastesen, Eivind (author), Daniilidis, Alexandros (author), Garcia, Oscar (author), Torabi, Anita (author), Wheeler, Walter (author)Understanding fractures and fracture networks is essential for the investigation and use of subsurface reservoirs. The aim is to predict the fractures and the fracture network when there is no direct access to subsurface images available. This article presents a universal workflow to numerically compute a discrete fracture network by combining...journal article 2020

Batheja, Dhruv (author)This work tackles the problem of repetition counting in videos using modern deep learning techniques. For this task, the intention is to build an end-to-end trainable model that could estimate the number of repetitions without having to manually intervene with the feature selection process. The models that exist currently perform well on videos...master thesis 2019

Kras, Etienne (author)Today's coastal zones are densely inhabited as the majority of the world's population lives in these attractive areas. The shorelines in coastal zones are shaped by complex spatial and temporal variable interactions between natural forcings like changes in mean sea-level, tides, wave and wind conditions, and storm surges. Besides, natural...master thesis 2019
