Classification Of The Tor-Algebras Of Codimension Four Almost Complete Intersections, Andrew R. Kustin Sep 1993

Classification Of The Tor-Algebras Of Codimension Four Almost Complete Intersections, Andrew R. Kustin

Faculty Publications

Let (R, m, k) be a local ring in which 2 is a unit. Assume that every element of k has a square root in k . We classify the algebras Tor'(R/J, k) as J varies over all grade four almost complete intersection ideals in R. The analogous classification has already been found when J varies over all grade four Gorenstein ideals [21], and when J varies over all ideals of grade at most three [5, 30]. The present paper makes use of the classification, in [21], of the Tor-algebraso f codimension four Gorenstein rings, as well as the (usually …

Pursuing Analogies Between Differential Equations And Difference Equations, David L. Abrahamson Nov 1989

Pursuing Analogies Between Differential Equations And Difference Equations, David L. Abrahamson

Faculty Publications

The study of ordinary differential equations has long been a staple in mathematics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Recently, instruction in the study of difference equations has widened, primarily due to the expanded role of the digital computer in mathematics. The two topics are inextricably linked at all levels, from elementary techniques through current research questions. Pursuing the analogies between these fields of study can only deepen the understanding of each. In particular, the study of many elementary topics in difference equations, requiring not even the use of calculus, can serve as a founda- tion for intuition and …

Interpolation Of Besov-Spaces, Ronald A. Devore, Vasil A. Popova Jan 1988

Interpolation Of Besov-Spaces, Ronald A. Devore, Vasil A. Popova

Faculty Publications

We investigate Besov spaces and their connection with dyadic spline approximation in Lp(Omega), 0 < p (less than or equal to) infinity. Our main results are: the determination of the interpolation spaces between a pair of Besov spaces; an atomic decomposition for functions in a Besov space; the characterization of the class of functions which have certain prescribed degree of approximation by dyadic splines.

Integer Squares With Constant Second Difference, Duncan A. Buell Oct 1987

Integer Squares With Constant Second Difference, Duncan A. Buell

Faculty Publications

The problem addressed is this: Do there exist nonconsecutive integers n0, n1, n2, . . ., such that the second differences of the squares of the ni are constant? Specifically, can that constant be equal to 2? A complete characterization of sequences of length four can be given. The question of whether or not sequences of length five exist is still open but the existence or nonexistence of such sequences can be described in a more algorithmic way than the simple statement of the problem.

Class Groups Of Quadratic Fields Ii, Duncan A. Buell Jan 1987

Class Groups Of Quadratic Fields Ii, Duncan A. Buell

Faculty Publications

A computation has been made of the noncyclic class groups of imaginary quadratic fields Q(√-D) for even and odd discriminants - D from 0 to - 25000000. Among the results are that 95% of the class groups are cyclic, and that -11203620 and -18397407 are the first discriminants of imaginary quadratic fields for which the class group has rank three in the 5-Sylow subgroup. The latter was known to be of rank three; this computation demonstrates that it is the first odd discriminant of 5-rank three or more.


Approximation By Rational Functions, Ronald A. Devore Dec 1986

Approximation By Rational Functions, Ronald A. Devore

Faculty Publications

Making use of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, we give a new proof of the following theorem of Pekarski: If f' is in L log L on a finite interval, then f can be approximated in the uniform norm by rational functions of degree n to an error 0(1/n) on that interval.

Nonexistence Of Stable Harmonic Maps To And From Certain Homogeneous Spaces And Submanifolds Of Euclidean-Space, Ralph Howard, S Walter Wei Mar 1986

Nonexistence Of Stable Harmonic Maps To And From Certain Homogeneous Spaces And Submanifolds Of Euclidean-Space, Ralph Howard, S Walter Wei

Faculty Publications

Call a compact Riemannian manifold M a strongly unstable manifold if it is not the range or domain of a nonconstant stable harmonic map and also the homotopy class of any map to or from M contains elements of arbitrarily small energy. If M is isometrically immersed in Euclidean space, then a condition on the second fundamental form of M is given which implies M is strongly unstable. As compact isotropy irreducible homogeneous spaces have "standard" immersions into Euclidean space this allows a complete list of the strongly unstable compact irreducible symmetric spaces to be made.

Sequences In Power Residue Classes, Duncan A. Buell, Richard H. Hudson Jan 1986

Sequences In Power Residue Classes, Duncan A. Buell, Richard H. Hudson

Faculty Publications

Using A. Weil’s estimates the authors have given bounds for the largest prime P0 such that all primes P > P0 have sequences of quadratic residues of length m. For m ≤ 8 the smallest prime having m consecutive quadratic residues is ≡ 3(mod 4) and P0 ≡ 1 (mod 4). The reason for this phenomenon is investigated in this paper and the theory developed is used to successfully uncover analogous phenomena for rth power residues, r ≥ 2, r even.

Interpolating Sequences On Curves, Samih Obaid, D. Rung

Faculty Publications

We established a condition on boundary curves (ending at points) lying either in the unit disc or the upper half plane which implies that any consecutively separated sequence, in the hyperbolic distance, lying on one of these curves is an interpolating sequence for bounded holomorphic functions.

Deformation And Linkage Of Gorenstein Algebras, Andrew R. Kustin, Matthew Miller

Faculty Publications

General double linkage of Gorenstein algebras is defined. Rigidity, genericity, and regularity up to codimension six all pass across general double linkage. Rigid strongly unobstructed codimension four Gorenstein algebras which lie in different Herzog classes are produced.


The Expectation Of Success Using A Monte Carlo Factoring Method – Some Statistics On Quadratic Class Numbers, Duncan A. Buell Jul 1984

The Expectation Of Success Using A Monte Carlo Factoring Method – Some Statistics On Quadratic Class Numbers, Duncan A. Buell

Faculty Publications

A method has been proposed for factoring an integer N by using the structure of the class groups of quadratic fields of radicand – kN for various small multipliers k. We discuss the method and an implementation of the method, and various theoretical questions which have an impact on the practical use of the method in factoring. Some of the theoretical questions relate to the nature of class numbers and class groups; we present extensive statistical results on the class numbers and class groups of imaginary quadratic fields.
