First Order Approximation On The Basilica Julia Set, Xintan Xia, Taryn Flock
First Order Approximation On The Basilica Julia Set, Xintan Xia, Taryn Flock
Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Honors Projects
We consider the basilica Julia set of the quadratic polynomial P (z) = z^2 - 1, with its successive graph approximations defined in terms of the external ray parametrization of the set. Following the model of Kigami and later Strichartz, we exploit these graph approximations to define derivatives of functions defined on the fractal, an endeavor complicated by asymmetric neighborhood behaviors at approximated vertex points across levels, and by the topology of these vertices. We hence differentiate even and odd levels of approximations of the Julia set and construct, accordingly, normal derivatives corresponding to each level category at the vertices, …
Stability Of Cauchy's Equation On Δ+., Holden Wells
Stability Of Cauchy's Equation On Δ+., Holden Wells
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The most famous functional equation f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y) known as Cauchy's equation due to its appearance in the seminal analysis text Cours d'Analyse (Cauchy 1821), was used to understand fundamental aspects of the real numbers and the importance of regularity assumptions in mathematical analysis. Since then, the equation has been abstracted and examined in many contexts. One such examination, introduced by Stanislaw Ulam and furthered by Donald Hyers, was that of stability. Hyers demonstrated that Cauchy's equation exhibited stability over Banach Spaces in the following sense: functions that approximately satisfy Cauchy's equation are approximated with the same level of error by functions …
A Brascamp-Lieb–Rary Of Examples, Anina Peersen
A Brascamp-Lieb–Rary Of Examples, Anina Peersen
Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Honors Projects
This paper focuses on the Brascamp-Lieb inequality and its applications in analysis, fractal geometry, computer science, and more. It provides a beginner-level introduction to the Brascamp-Lieb inequality alongside re- lated inequalities in analysis and explores specific cases of extremizable, simple, and equivalent Brascamp-Lieb data. Connections to computer sci- ence and geometric measure theory are introduced and explained. Finally, the Brascamp-Lieb constant is calculated for a chosen family of linear maps.
Figure-Ground Perception: A Poem Proof, Richard Delaware
Figure-Ground Perception: A Poem Proof, Richard Delaware
Journal of Humanistic Mathematics
This is a proof, in poetic form, of a bit of real analysis, more specifically involving the topology of accumulation points, that exploits the human optical phenomenon of figure-ground perception. Sometimes it is not a change in content, but a snap shift in point of view that yields a proof.
Elliptic Functions And Iterative Algorithms For Π, Eduardo Jose Evans
Elliptic Functions And Iterative Algorithms For Π, Eduardo Jose Evans
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Preliminary identities in the theory of basic hypergeometric series, or `q-series', are proven. These include q-analogues of the exponential function, which lead to a fairly simple proof of Jacobi's celebrated triple product identity due to Andrews. The Dedekind eta function is introduced and a few identities of it derived. Euler's pentagonal number theorem is shown as a special case of Ramanujan's theta function and Watson's quintuple product identity is proved in a manner given by Carlitz and Subbarao. The Jacobian theta functions are introduced as special kinds of basic hypergeometric series and various relations between them derived using the triple …
