See print copy in University of Adelaide Library for full text.Uses the tool of lattice regularisation to calculate the 2-point Euclidean Green's function in pure SU (3) Yang-Mills (quenched quantum chromodynamics), in Landau gauge. Adding improved gauge fixing and tree level correction to the improvement program developed by Symanzik [et al.], shows that the gluon propagator can be reliably calculated on lattices coarser than has hitherto been used.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Physics and Mathematical Physics, 2000
