Resummation of soft singularities and improved treatment of heavy quarks in perturbative QCD

This thesis describes theoretical and numerical investigations into the resummation of soft singularities in some perturbative QCD cross sections. The form of the quark <i>MS</i> splitting functions and coefficient function that resums all soft singularities in DIS and Drell-Yan is obtai...
