This prize-winning thesis deals with the observation and modeling
of the spectral evolution of blazars. Based on single-dish light
curves, a model of shock-shock interaction is tested and confirmed
using multi-frequency high resolution Very Long Baseline
Observations. He presents state-of-the art numerical relativistic
hydrodynamic simulations and the corresponding non-thermal emission
is calculated (eRHD simulations). The author further presents new
analysis techniques for VLBI observations that can be applied to
numerous sources and provide reliable results including an error
estimate using Monte Carlo simulations. He also develops an
analytical shock model that can be applied quickly to other single
dish observations. He shows how novel techniques of extraction of
physical parameters from observations can be applied to other
astrophysical sources and provide a link to a better understanding
of the physical mechanism operating in blazar jets.
