Ramanujan Graphs In The Construction Of Ldpc Codes, Walter H. Chen
Ramanujan Graphs In The Construction Of Ldpc Codes, Walter H. Chen
Undergraduate Mathematics Day: Past Content
Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes have recently become a popular interdisciplinary area of research. Widely unknown after their invention by Gallager in 1965, the existence of efficient encoding and decoding algorithms coupled with performance that operates near theoretical limits has led to the rediscovery of LDPC codes. This paper will address the reasoning and construction of LDPC codes with Ramanujan graphs.

Newton-Raphson Versus Fisher Scoring Algorithms In Calculating Maximum Likelihood Estimates, Andrew Schworer, Peter Hovey
Newton-Raphson Versus Fisher Scoring Algorithms In Calculating Maximum Likelihood Estimates, Andrew Schworer, Peter Hovey
Undergraduate Mathematics Day: Past Content
In this work we explore the difficulties and the means by which maximum likelihood estimates can be calculated iteratively when direct solutions do not exist. The Newton-Raphson algorithm can be used to do these calculations. However, this algorithm has certain limitations that will be discussed. An alternative algorithm, Fisher scoring, which is less dependent on specific data values, is a good replacement. The Fisher scoring method converged for data sets available to the authors, that would not converge when using the Newton-Raphson algorithm. An analysis and discussion of both algorithms will be presented. Their real world application on analysis of …

Torsion-Free Weakly Transitive Abelian Groups, Brendan Goldsmith, Lutz Strungmann
Torsion-Free Weakly Transitive Abelian Groups, Brendan Goldsmith, Lutz Strungmann
Articles
We introduce the notion of weak transitivity for torsion-free abelian groups. A torsion-free abelian group G is called weakly transitive if for any pair of elements x, y ∈ G and endomorphisms ϕ, ψ ∈ End(G) such that xϕ = y, yψ = x, there exists an automorphism of G mapping x onto y. It is shown that every suitable ring can be realized as the endomorphism ring of a weakly transitive torsion-free abelian group, and we characterize up to a number-theoretical property the separable weakly transitive torsion-free abelian groups.

We consider the linear, second-order, differential equation (∗) with the boundary condition (∗∗)
We suppose that q(x) is real-valued, continuously differentiable and that q(x)→0 as x→∞ with q∉L1[0,∞). Our main object of study is the spectral function ρα(λ) associated with () and (). We derive a series expansion for this function, valid for λ⩾Λ0 where Λ0 is computable and establish a Λ1, also computable, such that () and () with α=0, have no points of spectral concentration for λ⩾Λ1. We illustrate our results with examples. In particular we consider the case of the Wigner–von Neumann potential.
Analysis Of A Multigrid Algorithm For Time Harmonic Maxwell Equations, Jay Gopalakrishnan, Joseph E. Pasciak, Leszek Demkowicz
Analysis Of A Multigrid Algorithm For Time Harmonic Maxwell Equations, Jay Gopalakrishnan, Joseph E. Pasciak, Leszek Demkowicz
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
This paper considers a multigrid algorithm suitable for efficient solution of indefinite linear systems arising from finite element discretization of time harmonic Maxwell equations. In particular, a "backslash" multigrid cycle is proven to converge at rates independent of refinement level if certain indefinite block smoothers are used. The method of analysis involves comparing the multigrid error reduction operator with that of a related positive definite multigrid operator. This idea has previously been used in multigrid analysis of indefinite second order elliptic problems. However, the Maxwell application involves a nonelliptic indefinite operator. With the help of a few new estimates, the …
A Characterization Of Hybridized Mixed Methods For Second Order Elliptic Problems, Bernardo Cockburn, Jay Gopalakrishnan
A Characterization Of Hybridized Mixed Methods For Second Order Elliptic Problems, Bernardo Cockburn, Jay Gopalakrishnan
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
In this paper, we give a new characterization of the approximate solution given by hybridized mixed methods for second order self-adjoint elliptic problems. We apply this characterization to obtain an explicit formula for the entries of the matrix equation for the Lagrange multiplier unknowns resulting from hybridization. We also obtain necessary and sufficient conditions under which the multipliers of the Raviart–Thomas and the Brezzi–Douglas–Marini methods of similar order are identical.

Motivation: Standard laboratory classification of the plasma cell dyscrasia monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and the overt plasma cell neoplasm multiple myeloma (MM) is quite accurate, yet, for the most part, biologically uninformative. Most, if not all, cancers are caused by inherited or acquired genetic mutations that manifest themselves in altered gene expression patterns in the clonally related cancer cells. Microarray technology allows for qualitative and quantitative measurements of the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously, and it has now been used both to classify cancers that are morphologically indistinguishable and to predict response to therapy. It is …
The Growth Of Valuations On Rational Function Fields In Two Variables, Edward Mosteig, Moss Sweedler
The Growth Of Valuations On Rational Function Fields In Two Variables, Edward Mosteig, Moss Sweedler
Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science Faculty Works
Given a valuation on the function field k( x; y), we examine the set of images of nonzero elements of the underlying polynomial ring k[ x; y] under this valuation. For an arbitrary field k, a Noetherian power series is a map z : Q --> k that has Noetherian (i.e., reverse well-ordered) support. Each Noetherian power series induces a natural valuation on k( x; y). Although the value groups corresponding to such valuations are well-understood, the restrictions of the valuations to underlying polynomial rings have yet to be characterized. Let Lambda(n) denote the images under the valuation v of …

Tree Diagrams For String Links Ii: Determining Chord Diagrams, Blake Mellor
Tree Diagrams For String Links Ii: Determining Chord Diagrams, Blake Mellor
Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science Faculty Works
In previous work, we defined the intersection graph of a chord diagram associated with a string link (as in the theory of finite type invariants). In this paper, we look at the case when this graph is a tree, and we show that in many cases these trees determine the chord diagram (modulo the usual 1-term and 4-term relations).
Higher Dimensional Algebra Vi: Lie 2-Algebra, John C. Baez, Alissa S. Crans
Higher Dimensional Algebra Vi: Lie 2-Algebra, John C. Baez, Alissa S. Crans
Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science Faculty Works
The theory of Lie algebras can be categorified starting from a new notion of `2-vector space', which we define as an internal category in Vect. There is a 2-category 2Vect having these 2-vector spaces as objects, `linear functors' as morphisms and `linear natural transformations' as 2-morphisms. We define a `semistrict Lie 2-algebra' to be a 2-vector space L equipped with a skew-symmetric bilinear functor [ . , . ] : L x L -> L satisfying the Jacobi identity up to a completely antisymmetric trilinear natural transformation called the `Jacobiator', which in turn must satisfy a certain law of its …
Quasioptimality Of Some Spectral Mixed Methods, Jay Gopalakrishnan, Leszek Demkowicz
Quasioptimality Of Some Spectral Mixed Methods, Jay Gopalakrishnan, Leszek Demkowicz
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
In this paper, we construct a sequence of projectors into certain polynomial spaces satisfying a commuting diagram property with norm bounds independent of the polynomial degree. Using the projectors, we obtain quasioptimality of some spectralmixed methods, including the Raviart–Thomas method and mixed formulations of Maxwell equations. We also prove some discrete Friedrichs type inequalities involving curl.
On The Empirical Balanced Truncation For Nonlinear Systems, Marissa Condon, Rossen Ivanov
On The Empirical Balanced Truncation For Nonlinear Systems, Marissa Condon, Rossen Ivanov
Articles
Novel constructions of empirical controllability and observability gramians for nonlinear systems for subsequent use in a balanced truncation style of model reduction are proposed. The new gramians are based on a generalisation of the fundamental solution for a Linear Time-Varying system. Relationships between the given gramians for nonlinear systems and the standard gramians for both Linear Time-Invariant and Linear Time-Varying systems are established as well as relationships to prior constructions proposed for empirical gramians. Application of the new gramians is illustrated through a sample test-system.
Quantization With Knowledge Base Applied To Geometrical Nesting Problem, Grzegorz Chmaj, Leszek Koszalka
Quantization With Knowledge Base Applied To Geometrical Nesting Problem, Grzegorz Chmaj, Leszek Koszalka
Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Research
Nesting algorithms deal with placing two-dimensional shapes on the given canvas. In this paper a binary way of solving the nesting problem is proposed. Geometric shapes are quantized into binary form, which is used to operate on them. After finishing nesting they are converted back into original geometrical form. Investigations showed, that there is a big influence of quantization accuracy for the nesting effect. However, greater accuracy results with longer time of computation. The proposed knowledge base system is able to strongly reduce the computational time.
Reversible Modified Reconstructability Analysis Of Boolean Circuits And Its Quantum Computation, Anas Al-Rabadi, Martin Zwick
Reversible Modified Reconstructability Analysis Of Boolean Circuits And Its Quantum Computation, Anas Al-Rabadi, Martin Zwick
Systems Science Faculty Publications and Presentations
Modified Reconstructability Analysis (MRA) can be realized reversibly by utilizing Boolean reversible (3,3) logic gates that are universal in two arguments. The quantum computation of the reversible MRA circuits is also introduced. The reversible MRA transformations are given a quantum form by using the normal matrix representation of such gates. The MRA-based quantum decomposition may play an important role in the synthesis of logic structures using future technologies that consume less power and occupy less space.

Advances And Applications Of Dezert-Smarandache Theory (Dsmt), Vol. 1, Florentin Smarandache, Jean Dezert
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
The Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) of plausible and paradoxical reasoning is a natural extension of the classical Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) but includes fundamental differences with the DST. DSmT allows to formally combine any types of independent sources of information represented in term of belief functions, but is mainly focused on the fusion of uncertain, highly conflicting and imprecise quantitative or qualitative sources of evidence. DSmT is able to solve complex, static or dynamic fusion problems beyond the limits of the DST framework, especially when conflicts between sources become large and when the refinement of the frame of the problem under consideration …

Continuous Images Of Big Sets And Additivity Of S0 Under Cpaprism, Krzysztof Ciesielski
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
We prove that the Covering Property Axiom CPAprism, which holds in the iterated perfect set model, implies the following facts.
- There exists a family G of uniformly continuous functions from R to [0,1] such that G has cardinality \omega1 < \continuum and for every subset S of R of cardinality \continuum there exists a g in G with g[S]=[0,1].
- The additivity of the Marczewski's ideal s0 is equal to \omega1 < \continuum.
The Quaternions With An Application To Rigid Body Dynamics, Evangelos A. Coutsias, Louis Romero
The Quaternions With An Application To Rigid Body Dynamics, Evangelos A. Coutsias, Louis Romero
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
William Rowan Hamilton invented the quaternions in 1843, in his effort to construct hypercomplex numbers, or higher dimensional generalizations of the complex numbers. Failing to construct a generalization in three dimensions (involving triplets) in such a way that division would be possible, he considered systems with four complex units and arrived at the quaternions. He realized that, just as multiplication by i is a rotation by 90o in the complex plane, each one of his complex units could also be associated with a rotation in space. Vectors were introduced by Hamilton for the first time as pure quaternions and Vector …
Basic Neutrosophic Algebraic Structures And Their Application To Fuzzy And Neutrosophic Models, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Basic Neutrosophic Algebraic Structures And Their Application To Fuzzy And Neutrosophic Models, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
Study of neutrosophic algebraic structures is very recent. The introduction of neutrosophic theory has put forth a significant concept by giving representation to indeterminates. Uncertainty or indeterminacy happen to be one of the major factors in almost all real-world problems. When uncertainty is modeled we use fuzzy theory and when indeterminacy is involved we use neutrosophic theory. Most of the fuzzy models which deal with the analysis and study of unsupervised data make use of the directed graphs or bipartite graphs. Thus the use of graphs has become inevitable in fuzzy models. The neutrosophic models are fuzzy models that permit …
Modified Reconstructability Analysis For Many-Valued Functions And Relations, Anas Al-Rabadi, Martin Zwick
Modified Reconstructability Analysis For Many-Valued Functions And Relations, Anas Al-Rabadi, Martin Zwick
Systems Science Faculty Publications and Presentations
A novel many-valued decomposition within the framework of lossless Reconstructability Analysis is presented. In previous work, Modified Recontructability Analysis (MRA) was applied to Boolean functions, where it was shown that most Boolean functions not decomposable using conventional Reconstructability Analysis (CRA) are decomposable using MRA. Also, it was previously shown that whenever decomposition exists in both MRA and CRA, MRA yields simpler or equal complexity decompositions. In this paper, MRA is extended to many-valued logic functions, and logic structures that correspond to such decomposition are developed. It is shown that many-valued MRA can decompose many-valued functions when CRA fails to do …
State-Based Reconstructability Analysis, Martin Zwick, Michael S. Johnson
State-Based Reconstructability Analysis, Martin Zwick, Michael S. Johnson
Systems Science Faculty Publications and Presentations
Reconstructability analysis (RA) is a method for detecting and analyzing the structure of multivariate categorical data. While Jones and his colleagues extended the original variable‐based formulation of RA to encompass models defined in terms of system states, their focus was the analysis and approximation of real‐valued functions. In this paper, we separate two ideas that Jones had merged together: the “g to k” transformation and state‐based modeling. We relate the idea of state‐based modeling to established variable‐based RA concepts and methods, including structure lattices, search strategies, metrics of model quality, and the statistical evaluation of model fit for analyses based …

Fuzzy Relational Maps And Neutrosophic Relational Maps, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
The aim of this book is two fold. At the outset the book gives most of the available literature about Fuzzy Relational Equations (FREs) and its properties for there is no book that solely caters to FREs and its applications. Though we have a comprehensive bibliography, we do not promise to give all the possible available literature about FRE and its applications. We have given only those papers which we could access and which interested us specially. We have taken those papers which in our opinion could be transformed for neutrosophic study. The second importance of this book is that …
Algebras With Inner Mb-Representation, Krzysztof Ciesielski
Algebras With Inner Mb-Representation, Krzysztof Ciesielski
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
We investigate algebras of sets, and pairs (A,I) consisting of an algebra A and an ideal I, which is a subset of A, that possess an inner MB-representation. We compare inner MB-representability of (A,I) with several properties of (A,I) considered by Baldwin. We show that A is inner MB-representable if and only if A =S(A \ H (A)), where S(.) is a Marczewski operation defined below and H consists of sets that are hereditarily in A. We study uniqueness issue of the ideal in that representation.

Neutrosophic logic grew as an alternative to the existing topics and it represents a mathematical model of uncertainty, vagueness, ambiguity, imprecision, undefined-ness, unknown, incompleteness, inconsistency, redundancy and contradiction. Despite various attempts to reorient logic, there has remained an essential need for an alternative system that could infuse into itself a representation of the real world. Out of this need arose the system of neutrosophy and its connected logic, neutrosophic logic. This new logic, which allows also the concept of indeterminacy to play a role in any real-world problem, was introduced first by one of the authors Florentin Smarandache. In this …

In this paper, we focus on the advantages of studying mathematics from analytical, graphical and geometric perspectives. Using Casio’s ClassPad 300 ([1]), we present activities on problems involving abstract concepts and real life applications. These activities viewed from the analytical, graphical, tabular and geometric points of view, promote creative ways to facilitate the learning of mathematics that inspire students with varying levels of ability. Consequently, students develop a profound appreciation and a deeper understanding of mathematics.
