The spectrum of delay-differential equations: numerical methods - KTH

Acknowledgements
This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and support of
friends and colleagues at the technical university of Braunschweig and elsewhere.
First of all, I have the pleasure to thank my supervisor, Heike Fassbender,
for guidance and very valuable support throughout my years as a PhD student
in Braunschweig. I am grateful for her outstanding efforts which have made this
thesis possible.
Among the friends and colleagues, special thanks go to: Tobias Damm for very
often providing constructive accurate criticism, my master thesis examiner and
supervisor Axel Ruhe, KTH Stockholm, for discussions and allowing a nice time
as a visitor at the numerical analysis group at KTH, Michiel E. Hochstenbach,
for his enthusiasm, inspiration, discussions and advices, and my former master
thesis supervisor Heinrich Voss, for discussions and valuable comments.
I am also grateful to many other colleagues and friends for technical discussions,
and fruitful comments on programming issues, as well as drafts and final
versions of this thesis: Matthias Bollhöfer, Dimitri Breda, Henrik Bäärnhielm,
Johan Karlsson, Daniel Kressner, Volker Mehrmann, Wim Michiels, Timo Reis,
Bor Plestenjak, Peter Stange and Fabian Wirth.
