Stability And Reconstruction For An Inverse Problem For The Heat Equation, Kurt Bryan, Lester Caudill
Stability And Reconstruction For An Inverse Problem For The Heat Equation, Kurt Bryan, Lester Caudill
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
We examine the inverse problem of determining the shape of some unknown portion of the boundary of a region Ω from measurements of the Cauchy data for solutions to the heat equation on Ω. By suitably linearizing the inverse problem we obtain uniqueness and continuous dependence results. We propose an algorithm for recovering estimates of the unknown portion of the surface and use the insight gained from a detailed analysis of the inverse problem to regularize the inversion. Several computational examples are presented.
Finding Cyclic Redundancy Check Polynomials For Multilevel Systems, James A. Davis, Miranda Mowbray, Simon Crouch
Finding Cyclic Redundancy Check Polynomials For Multilevel Systems, James A. Davis, Miranda Mowbray, Simon Crouch
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
This letter describes a technique for finding cyclic redundancy check polynomials for systems for transmission over symmetric channels which encode information in multiple voltage levels, so that the resulting redundancy check gives good error protection and is efficient to implement. The codes which we construct have a Hamming distance of 3 or 4. We discuss a way to reduce burst error in parallel transmissions and some tricks for efficient implementation of the shift register for these polynomials. We illustrate our techniques by discussing a particular example where the number of levels is 9, but they are applicable in general.
Octary Codewords With Power Envelopes Of 3∗2M, Katherine M. Nieswand, Kara N. Wagner
Octary Codewords With Power Envelopes Of 3∗2M, Katherine M. Nieswand, Kara N. Wagner
Department of Math & Statistics Technical Report Series
This paper examines codewords of length 2m in Z8 with envelope power maxima of 3 ∗ 2m. Using the general form for Golay pairs as a base, a general form is derived for the set of coset leaders that generate these codewords. From this general form it will be proven that there exists at least one element in the coset that achieves a power of 3 ∗ 2m for each m-even and m-odd case.
New Semiregular Divisible Difference Sets, James A. Davis
New Semiregular Divisible Difference Sets, James A. Davis
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
We modify and generalize the construction by McFarland (1973) in two different ways to construct new semiregular divisible difference sets (DDSs) with λ1≠0. The parameters of the DDS fall into a family of parameters found in Jungnickel (1982), where his construction is for divisible designs. The final section uses the idea of a K-matrix to find DDSs with a nonelementary abelian forbidden subgroup.
The Dirichlet Problem And Its Physical Motivations, Andrew E. Pitts
The Dirichlet Problem And Its Physical Motivations, Andrew E. Pitts
Honors Theses
In this work, we explore the basics of harmonic function theory and its relationship to problems in the theory of heat diffusion. In particular, we will focus on the classical Dirichlet problem.
Problems In Harmonic Function Theory, Ronald A. Walker
Problems In Harmonic Function Theory, Ronald A. Walker
Honors Theses
Harmonic Function Theory is a field of differential mathematics that has both many theoretical constructs and physical connections, as well as its store of classical problems.
One such problem is the Dirichlet Problem. While the proof of the existence of a solution is well-founded on basic theory, and general methods for polynomial solutions have been well studied, much ground is still yet to be overturned. In this paper we focus on the examination, properties and computation methods and limitations, of solutions for rational boundary functions.
Another area that we shall study is the properties and generalizations of the zero sets …

The Set Of Hemispheres Containing A Closed Curve On The Sphere, Mary Kate Boggiano, Mark Desantis
Department of Math & Statistics Technical Report Series
Suppose you get in your car and take a drive on the sphere of radius R, so that when you return to your starting point the odometer indicates you've traveled less than 2πR. Does your path, γ, have to lie in some hemisphere?
This question was presented to us by Dr. Robert Foote of Wabash College. Previous authors chose two points, A and B, on γ such that these points divided γ into two arcs of equal length. Then they took the midpoint of the great circle arc joining A and B to be the North Pole and showed that …
New Families Of Semi-Regular Relative Difference Sets, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab, Miranda Mowbray
New Families Of Semi-Regular Relative Difference Sets, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab, Miranda Mowbray
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
We give two constructions for semi-regular relative difference sets (RDSs) in groups whose order is not a prime power, where the order u of the forbidden subgroup is greater than 2. No such RDSs were previously known. We use examples from the first construction to produce semi-regular RDSs in groups whose order can contain more than two distinct prime factors. For u greater than 2 these are the first such RDSs, and for u = 2 we obtain new examples.
Pseudocontinuations And The Backward Shift, William T. Ross, Alexandru Aleman, Stefan Richter
Pseudocontinuations And The Backward Shift, William T. Ross, Alexandru Aleman, Stefan Richter
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
In this paper, we will examine the backward shift operator Lf = (f −f(0))/z on certain Banach spaces of analytic functions on the open unit disk D. In particular, for a (closed) subspace M for which LM Ϲ M, we wish to determine the spectrum, the point spectrum, and the approximate point spectrum of L│M. In order to do this, we will use the concept of “pseudocontinuation" of functions across the unit circle T.
We will first discuss the backward shift on a general Banach space of analytic functions and then for the weighted …
Hadamard Difference Sets In Nonabelian 2-Groups With High Exponent, James A. Davis, Joel E. Iiams
Hadamard Difference Sets In Nonabelian 2-Groups With High Exponent, James A. Davis, Joel E. Iiams
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
Nontrivial difference sets in groups of order a power of 2 are part of the family of difference sets called Hadamard difference sets. In the abelian case, a group of order 22t + 2 has a difference set if and only if the exponent of the group is less than or equal to 2t + 2. In a previous work (R. A. Liebler and K. W. Smith, in “Coding Theory, Design Theory, Group Theory: Proc. of the Marshall Hall Conf.,” Wiley, New York, 1992), the authors constructed a difference set in a nonabelian group of order …
