Lozenge Tilings Of A Halved Hexagon With An Array Of Triangles Removed From The Boundary, Part Ii, Tri Lai
Lozenge Tilings Of A Halved Hexagon With An Array Of Triangles Removed From The Boundary, Part Ii, Tri Lai
Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications
Proctor's work on staircase plane partitions yields an exact enumeration of lozenge tilings of a halved hexagon on the triangular lattice. Rohatgi later ex- tended this tiling enumeration to a halved hexagon with a triangle cut o from the boundary. In his previous paper, the author proved a common generalization of Proctor's and Rohatgi's results by enumerating lozenge tilings of a halved hexagon in the case an array of an arbitrary number of triangles has been removed from a non-staircase side. In this paper we consider the other case when the array of tri- angles has been removed from the …
Translation Theorems For The Fourier-Feynman Transform On The Product Function Space C2 A,B, [0,T], Seung Jun Chang, Jae Gil Choi, David Skoug
Translation Theorems For The Fourier-Feynman Transform On The Product Function Space C2 A,B, [0,T], Seung Jun Chang, Jae Gil Choi, David Skoug
Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications
In this article, we establish the Cameron{Martin translation theo- rems for the analytic Fourier{Feynman transform of functionals on the product function space C2 a;b[0; T]. The function space Ca;b[0; T] is induced by the gener- alized Brownian motion process associated with continuous functions a(t) and b(t) on the time interval [0; T]. The process used here is nonstationary in time and is subject to a drift a(t). To study our translation theorem, we introduce a Fresnel-type class Fa;b A1;A2 of functionals on C2 a;b[0; T], which is a generaliza- tion of the Kallianpur and Bromley{Fresnel class FA1;A2 . We then …

There is a growing awareness of the important roles that microbial communities play in complex biological processes. Modern investigation of these often uses next generation sequencing of metagenomic samples to determine community composition. We propose a statistical technique based on clique loglinear models and Bayes model averaging to identify microbial components in a metagenomic sample at various taxonomic levels that have significant associations. We describe the model class, a stochastic search technique for model selection, and the calculation of estimates of posterior probabilities of interest. We demonstrate our approach using data from the Human Microbiome Project and from a study …

We introduce the class of Cartan triples as a generalization of the notion of a Car- tan MASA in a von Neumann algebra. We obtain a one-to-one correspondence between Cartan triples and certain Clifford extensions of inverse semigroups. Moreover, there is a spectral theorem describing bimodules in terms of their support sets in the fundamental inverse semigroup and, as a corollary, an extension of Aoi’s theorem to this setting. This context contains that of Fulman’s generalization of Cartan MASAs and we discuss his generalization in an appendix.

We demonstrate how mechanistic modeling can be used to predict whether and how biological responses to chemicals at (sub)organismal levels in model species (i.e., what we typically measure) translate into impacts on ecosystem service delivery (i.e., what we care about). We consider a hypothetical case study of two species of trout, brown trout (Salmo trutta; BT) and greenback cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii stomias; GCT). These hypothetical populations live in a high-altitude river system and are exposed to human-derived estrogen (17α‑ethinyl estradiol, EE2), which is the bioactive estrogen in many contraceptives. We use the individual based model in STREAM …

Building Long-Term Support For Faculty Through Graduate Student Instructor Professional Development, Nathan Wakefield, Karina Uhing, Mitchell Hamidi

Improving university-level instruction is an important step to improving instruction at all levels, and in order to improve university-level instruction, instructors need to master more effective models of instruction and be able to draw on education literature as they continue to develop as instructors. Well-trained, informed instructors are well equipped to be agents of change when they take on faculty positions. However, this mastery requires training and practice.

Proctor's work on staircase plane partitions yields an enumeration of lozenge tilings of a halved hexagon on the triangular lattice. Rohatgi recently extended this tiling enumeration to a halved hexagon with a triangle removed from the boundary. In this paper, we prove a generalization of the results of Proctor and Rohatgi by enumerating lozenge tilings of a halved hexagon in which an array of an arbitrary number of adjacent triangles has been removed from the boundary.

Examples Of Finite Free Complexes Of Small Rank And Small Homology, Srikanth B. Iyengar, Mark E. Walker

In this paper we construct counterexamples to five related conjectures concerning the rank an homology of finite free complexes over commuatitive noetherian rings, and, in particular, over group algebras of elementary abelian groups.
Existing And Regularity Of Minimizers For Nonlocal Energy Functionals, Mikil D. Foss, Petronela Radu, Cory Wright
Existing And Regularity Of Minimizers For Nonlocal Energy Functionals, Mikil D. Foss, Petronela Radu, Cory Wright
Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications
In this paper, we consider minimizers for nonlocal energy functionals generalizing elastic energies that are connected with the theory of peridynamics [19] or nonlocal diffusion models [1]. We derive nonlocal versions of the Euler-Lagrange equations under two sets of growth assumptions for the integrand. Existence of minimizers is shown for integrands with joint convexity (in the function and nonlocal gradient components). By using the convolution structure, we show regularity of solutions for certain Euler-Lagrange equations. No growth assumptions are needed for the existence and regularity of minimizers results, in contrast with the classical theory.
Diagnostic Effects Of An Early Mastery Activity In College Algebra And Precalculus, Nathan Wakefield, Joe Champion, Jessalyn Bolkema, Douglas Dailey
Diagnostic Effects Of An Early Mastery Activity In College Algebra And Precalculus, Nathan Wakefield, Joe Champion, Jessalyn Bolkema, Douglas Dailey
Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications
The purpose of this study was to investigate implementation of an early intervention mastery activity during the first two weeks of college algebra and precalculus courses at a large U.S. public university. Statistical modeling of (N = 935) students’ performance in the courses, including a logistic regression model of pass/fail course achievement with students’ high school rank, ACT Mathematics scores, and performance on the intervention as explanatory variables, suggested significant independent differences in course performance across performance levels on the early mastery activity. An evaluation of diagnostic validity for the model yielded a 19% false negative rate (predicted to …
