README

This repository contains TeX sources of my PhD thesis, which was defended at
ComUE Université Grenoble Alpes in 2016. The TeX style files were taken from
several other thesis templates, which, unfortunately, I cannot find anymore.
You are free to use the TeX files in this repository to make a template for
your own thesis, however, if you want to reuse figures, please, contact me
first (send me an email to  asherikov at yandex.com).


Features:

    1.  All temporary files are kept in 'tmp' folder.

    2.  You can visualize differences from a previous version of the thesis in
    the git repository using latexdiff: 'make latexdiff REVISION=<oldrevision>'
    I modified latexdiff script to add support for 'LXDINPUTS' evironment
    variable, which specifies additional paths to search for included '*.tex'
    files. The original version of latexdiff requires complete paths.

    3.  You can delete unreferenced bibliography entries and comments from
    thesis.bib file using 'make bibfilter'. For this purpose I use *.awk
    scripts from bibextract.

    4.  Note that everything except the title page is in English. Some of the
    styles were originally in French.
