New Topologies And Parallel Algorithms For Static Interconnection Networks., Srabani Sen Gupta Dr. Dec 1997

New Topologies And Parallel Algorithms For Static Interconnection Networks., Srabani Sen Gupta Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Many real-life applications in the areas of signal processing, image processing, etc., require a large amount of fast computations to be performed. Although high speed powerful processors are currently available due to the phenomenal advances in VLSI technology, the increasing demand for massive real-time computations can not be met just by a uniprocessor system. One way of achieving the goal of fast computation is through parallel processing. In parallel processing, a problem is broken into several subproblems, which are distributed among different processors so that each of the processors can perform its task simultaneously. Main areas of recent research in …


Some Problems In Estimating Finite Population Total And Variance In Survey Sampling., Saswati Bhattacharya Dr. Dec 1997

Some Problems In Estimating Finite Population Total And Variance In Survey Sampling., Saswati Bhattacharya Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The problem of drawing inference concerning the parameters of a finite population of identifiable units has been increasingly engaging the attention of statisticians. The central problem here is to devise a suitable method of selecting a sample from the population and to employ an appropriate estimator to estimate the finite population total or mean. A consider- able progress in this field of study has been made and many authors have contributed towards the development of the theory in this aspect of the problem of statistical inferenceNumerous papers have been written covering the first aspect of the problem, namely, method of …


Pompeiu Problem And Analogues Of The Weiner-Tauberian Theorem For Certain Homogeneous Spaces., Rama Rawat Dr. Aug 1997

Pompeiu Problem And Analogues Of The Weiner-Tauberian Theorem For Certain Homogeneous Spaces., Rama Rawat Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Let G be a connected locally compact unimodular group acting transitively on a locally compact space X. For a function f on X and g € G, define of by 9f(x) = fA 9.a), a € X. One of the recurring themes in analysis is the question of when a function f in a given function space F(X) will have property that Span{gf : g € G} is dense in F(X). If X = R and G = R, the celebrated Wiener-Tauberian theorem answers this question completely for the space L1(R): The span of the translates of fE L1(R) is …


On Cvt Minimization In Single Machine Scheduling., D. K. Manna Dr. Feb 1997

On Cvt Minimization In Single Machine Scheduling., D. K. Manna Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Scheduling problens are quite common in real life. They arise whenever there is a need to plan execution of various tasks over time and therefore they play very important roles in commercial set-ups concerning manufacturing or service in the optimal use of resources and/or customers satisfaction. The theory of scheduling deals with the construction of suitable models and their analyses. Researchersattention was drawn to the study of scheduling problems using mathematical modeling, probably for the first time when Johnson (1954] published his famous work on flowshop problem. Since then, the study of scheduling problem and its context has gradually attracted …


Fourier Transforms Of Very Rapidly Decreasing Functions On Certain Lie Groups., M. Sundari Dr. Feb 1997

Fourier Transforms Of Very Rapidly Decreasing Functions On Certain Lie Groups., M. Sundari Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Recall that for a function f ϵ L1(Rn ), its Fourier transform fÌ‚ is definedby: fÌ‚ (ƹ) = ʃ Rnf(x)ei(ƹ,x)dx ( 0.1.1)where (.,.) denotes the standard inner product on Rn and dr the Lebesgue measure on Rn. A celebrated theorem of L. Schwartz asserts that a function f on Rn is rapidly decreasing (or in the Schwartz class ) if and only if its Fourier transform is rapidly decreasing . In sharp contrast to Schwartz s theorem, is a result due to Hardy ([18) which says that ʃ and fÌ‚ cannot both be very rapidly decreasing . More precisely, if …


On Some Problems Related To Hermite And Laguerre Expansions., P. K. Ratnakumar Dr. Feb 1997

On Some Problems Related To Hermite And Laguerre Expansions., P. K. Ratnakumar Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The first three chapters of this thesis are concerned with the spherical means associated to the Hermite and Laguerre expansions. The study of spherical means has a very long history. The classic work of F. John deals with various applications of the spherical means to the theory of partial differential equations. They entered Fourier analysis with the celebrated theorem of E. Stein on spherical analogue of the Lebesgue differentiation theorem. Ever since they have appcared again and again in several areas of analysis like integral geometry, inversion of Fourier transforms and related arcas.


The Fixed Point Index As A Local Lefschetz Number., Neeta Pandey Dr. Feb 1997

The Fixed Point Index As A Local Lefschetz Number., Neeta Pandey Dr.

Doctoral Theses

In this thesis we defitne a class of self maps of connected compact polyhodza - those which prmserve erpanding directions - and define the fixed point indices of such maps at an isolated set of fixed points of the map as a local Lefschets rumber. Our definition uses simplicial approximations of the given map in the spirit of O Nell (I19| and Fournier (71) and is intrinsic so that it is computable.Let X be a connected compact polyhedron and f:X→ X be a map an X. The Lefscheta number L() of / is then defined to be ([13]),L) -E(-1)jTrace {, …


Recurrence And Transience Of Reflecting Diffusions., S. Balaji Dr. Feb 1997

Recurrence And Transience Of Reflecting Diffusions., S. Balaji Dr.

Doctoral Theses

An attempt to obtain conditions for certain stability properties of reflecting diffusions in unbounded domains with boundary has been made in this thesis. For diffusions in R', such stability properties like recurrence, transience and positive recurrence have been studied extensively; see Bhattacharya (1978), Kliemann (1987), Pinsky (1987). One might see Pinsky (1995) for an up-to-date review of kuown methods and results in this all case. (For corresponding recurrence classification results on Markov chains using martin- gale ideas based on stoxchastic analogues of Lyapunov functions, see Meyn and Tweedie (1993a), (1993b) and the references given therein). The main concern in this …
