Some Asymptotic Properties Of Seirs Models Withnonlinear Incidence And Random Delays, Divine Wanduku, Broderick O. Oluyede
Some Asymptotic Properties Of Seirs Models Withnonlinear Incidence And Random Delays, Divine Wanduku, Broderick O. Oluyede
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
This paper presents the dynamics of mosquitoes and humans with general nonlinear incidence rate and multiple distributed delays for the disease. The model is a SEIRS system of delay differential equations. The normalized dimensionless version is derived; analytical techniques are applied to find conditions for deterministic extinction and permanence of disease. The BRN R0* and ESPR E(e–(μvT1+μT2)) are computed. Conditions for deterministic extinction and permanence are expressed in terms of R0* and E(e–(μvT1+μT2)) and applied to a P. vivax malaria scenario. Numerical results are given.
Conceptualizing And Interpreting Mean And Median With Future Teachers, Eryn M. Stehr, Ha Nguyen, Gregory Chamblee, Sharon Taylor
Conceptualizing And Interpreting Mean And Median With Future Teachers, Eryn M. Stehr, Ha Nguyen, Gregory Chamblee, Sharon Taylor
Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators
Mathematical Education of Teachers II (METII), echoed by the American Statistical Association publication, Statistical Education of Teachers, recommended teacher preparation programs support future teachers in developing deep understandings of mean and median, such that middle grades teachers may use them to “summarize, describe, and compare distributions” (Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences, 2012, p. 44; Franklin et al., 2015). Georgia Standards of Excellence require statistical reasoning from students beginning as early as 6-7 years old, including interpretation of measures of center and statistical reasoning about best measures of center (Georgia Department of Education, 2015). This level of understanding and interpretation of …
K-2 Mathematicians & Writers: Professional Learning Communities For Developing Conceptual Understanding, Doris Santarone, Angel R. Abney, Sandra M. Webb
K-2 Mathematicians & Writers: Professional Learning Communities For Developing Conceptual Understanding, Doris Santarone, Angel R. Abney, Sandra M. Webb
Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) has long supported the use of children’s literature, writing, and manipulatives to improve conceptual understanding of mathematics (2000). In a professional learning community for K-2 teachers, professional development was designed and implemented on ways to incorporate literacy and manipulatives into a mathematics lesson. The teachers were charged with collaboratively planning lessons that included multiple components: the standard(s), a mathematics activity, manipulatives, a writing task, and children’s literature. As the data were analyzed, it became apparent that while most of the lessons were well connected, this did not happen for all of the lessons. …
Preparing Pre-Service Teachers To Present At A State Conference, Heidi Eisenreich
Preparing Pre-Service Teachers To Present At A State Conference, Heidi Eisenreich
Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators
As mathematics teacher educators, we have a responsibility to prepare as many people as we can, to teach mathematics in ways that foster a deeper understanding of the content. We do this by teaching current and future teachers in college programs and providing professional development to in-service teachers. A less explored way is to prepare these “students” to present ideas they have learned to colleagues at their school, other schools in their district, and conferences. In this paper, I share my experience of helping students go through the process of preparing to present over the last two years at our …
Creative Writing In The Mathematics Classroom, William Lacefield, Laura Markert
Creative Writing In The Mathematics Classroom, William Lacefield, Laura Markert
Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators
Creative writing in the mathematics classroom promotes mathematical applications in the real world, constructivist learning, embodied learning, transfer of mathematical ideas, and student engagement. When students are allowed to write about mathematical concepts creatively, they are able to take concepts that they have learned and put them into their world or even create a situation where the mathematical concept applies. Applying mathematical concepts to other environments helps learners transfer mathematical concepts. Learners are able to take the mathematics content and contextualize it outside of the classroom. Writing in mathematics also is a way for students to embody learning. Because writing …
An Alternative Approach To The Traditional Internship, Basil M. Conway, David Erikson, Christopher Parrish, Marilyn Strutchens, Jennifer Whitfield
An Alternative Approach To The Traditional Internship, Basil M. Conway, David Erikson, Christopher Parrish, Marilyn Strutchens, Jennifer Whitfield
Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators
This paper reports the benefits and challenges of incorporating a paired-placement model at four different post-secondary teacher preparation programs in secondary mathematics education. The paired-placement model places two secondary mathematics clinical teachers with one mentor (or cooperating) teacher during their internship experience. Benefits exhibited were increased collaboration, more knowledgeable cooperating teachers, increased sense of community, teaming, pedagogical risk-taking, increased reflective practice, established natural professional learning communities, Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycle (PDSA), and increased accountability. Challenges found through the PDSA cycle include personnel issues, number of days teaching, perceived classroom management preparation, preparing university supervisors, mentors, and teacher candidates, and support for collaboration …

Building A Better Risk Prevention Model, Steven Hornyak
Building A Better Risk Prevention Model, Steven Hornyak
National Youth Advocacy and Resilience Conference
This presentation chronicles the work of Houston County Schools in developing a risk prevention model built on more than ten years of longitudinal student data. In its second year of implementation, Houston At-Risk Profiles (HARP), has proven effective in identifying those students most in need of support and linking them to interventions and supports that lead to improved outcomes and significantly reduces the risk of failure.
Hodge Theory On Transversely Symplectic Foliations, Yi Lin
Hodge Theory On Transversely Symplectic Foliations, Yi Lin
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
In this paper, we develop symplectic Hodge theory on transversely symplectic foliations. In particular, we establish the symplectic dδ-lemma for any such foliations with the (transverse) s-Lefschetz property. As transversely symplectic foliations include many geometric structures, such as contact manifolds, co-symplectic manifolds, symplectic orbifolds, and symplectic quasi-folds as special examples, our work provides a unifying treatment of symplectic Hodge theory in these geometries.
As an application, we show that on compact K-contact manifolds, the s-Lefschetz property implies a general result on the vanishing of cup products, and that the cup length of a 2n+1 dimensional compact K-contact manifold with the …
Cahost Facilitating The Johnson-Neyman Technique For Two-Way Interactions In Multiple Regression, Stephen W. Carden, Nicholas Holtzman, Michael Strube
Cahost Facilitating The Johnson-Neyman Technique For Two-Way Interactions In Multiple Regression, Stephen W. Carden, Nicholas Holtzman, Michael Strube
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
When using multiple regression, researchers frequently wish to explore how the relationship between two variables is moderated by another variable; this is termed an interaction. Historically, two approaches have been used to probe interactions: the pick-a-point approach and the Johnson-Neyman (JN) technique. The pick-a-point approach has limitations that can be avoided using the JN technique. Currently, the software available for implementing the JN technique and creating corresponding figures lacks several desirable features–most notably, ease of use and figure quality. To fill this gap in the literature, we offer a free Microsoft Excel 2013 workbook, CAHOST (a concatenation of the first …
Vanishing Of Ext And Tor Over Fiber Products, Saeed Nasseh, Sean Sather-Wagstaff
Vanishing Of Ext And Tor Over Fiber Products, Saeed Nasseh, Sean Sather-Wagstaff
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
Consider a non-trivial fiber product R=S×kT of local rings S, T with common residue field k. Given two finitely generate R-modules M and N, we show that if TorRi(M,N)=0=TorRi+1(M,N) for some i≥5, then pdR(M)≤1 or pdR(N)≤1. From this, we deduce several consequence, for instance, that R satisfies the Auslander-Reiten Conjecture.
Global Analysis Of A Stochastic Two-Scale Network Human Epidemic Dynamic Model With Varying Immunity Period, Divine Wanduku, G. S. Ladde
Global Analysis Of A Stochastic Two-Scale Network Human Epidemic Dynamic Model With Varying Immunity Period, Divine Wanduku, G. S. Ladde
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
A stochastic SIR epidemic dynamic model with distributed-time-delay, for a two-scale dynamic population is derived. The distributed time delay is the varying naturally acquired immunity period of the removal class of individuals who have recovered from the infection, and have acquired natural immunity to the disease. We investigate the stochastic asymptotic stability of the disease free equilibrium of the epidemic dynamic model, and verify the impact on the eradication of the disease.
CO-Characterization Of Symplectic And Contact Embeddings And Lagrangian Rigidity, Stefan Müller
CO-Characterization Of Symplectic And Contact Embeddings And Lagrangian Rigidity, Stefan Müller
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
We present a novel C0-characterization of symplectic embeddings and diffeomorphisms in terms of Lagrangian embeddings. Our approach is based on the shape invariant, which was discovered by J.-C. Sikorav and Y. Eliashberg, intersection theory and the displacement energy of Lagrangian submanifolds, and the fact that non-Lagrangian submanifolds can be displaced immediately. This characterization gives rise to a new proof of C0-rigidity of symplectic embeddings and diffeomorphisms. The various manifestations of Lagrangian rigidity that are used in our arguments come from J-holomorphic curve methods. An advantage of our techniques is that they can be adapted to a C0-characterization of contact embeddings …

Some structural properties of this new distribution including density expansion, moments, Renyi entropy, distribution of the order statistics, moments of the order statistics and L-moments are presented. Maximum likelihood estimation technique is …
Ghost Series And A Motivated Proof Of The Andrews–Bressoud Identities, Shashank Kanade, James Lepowsky, Matthew C. Russell, Andrew Sills
Ghost Series And A Motivated Proof Of The Andrews–Bressoud Identities, Shashank Kanade, James Lepowsky, Matthew C. Russell, Andrew Sills
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
We present what we call a “motivated proof” of the Andrews–Bressoud partition identities for even moduli. A “motivated proof” of the Rogers–Ramanujan identities was given by G.E. Andrews and R.J. Baxter, and this proof was generalized to the odd-moduli case of Gordon's identities by J. Lepowsky and M. Zhu. Recently, a “motivated proof” of the somewhat analogous Göllnitz–Gordon–Andrews identities has been found. In the present work, we introduce “shelves” of formal series incorporating what we call “ghost series,” which allow us to pass from one shelf to the next via natural recursions, leading to our motivated proof. We anticipate that …
Gorenstein Projective Precovers, Sergio Estrada, Alina Iacob, Katelyn A. Coggins
Gorenstein Projective Precovers, Sergio Estrada, Alina Iacob, Katelyn A. Coggins
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
We prove that the class of Gorenstein projective modules is special precovering over any left GF-closed ring such that every Gorenstein projective module is Gorenstein flat and every Gorenstein flat module has finite Gorenstein projective dimension. This class of rings includes (strictly) Gorenstein rings, commutative noetherian rings of finite Krull dimension, as well as right coherent and left n-perfect rings. In Sect. 4 we give examples of left GF-closed rings that have the desired properties (every Gorenstein projective module is Gorenstein flat and every Gorenstein flat has finite Gorenstein projective dimension) and that are not right coherent.
On Gorenstein Fiber Products And Applications, Saeed Nasseh, Ryo Takahashi, Keller Vandebogert
On Gorenstein Fiber Products And Applications, Saeed Nasseh, Ryo Takahashi, Keller Vandebogert
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
We show that a non-trivial fiber product S×kT of commutative noetherian local rings S,T with a common residue field k is Gorenstein if and only if it is a hypersurface of dimension 1. In this case, both S and T are regular rings of dimension 1. We also give some applications of this result.
Totally Acyclic Complexes, Sergio Estrada, Xianhui Fu, Alina Iacob
Totally Acyclic Complexes, Sergio Estrada, Xianhui Fu, Alina Iacob
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
It is known that over an Iwanaga–Gorenstein ring the Gorenstein injective (Gorenstein projective, Gorenstein flat) modules are simply the cycles of acyclic complexes of injective (projective, flat) modules. We consider the question: are these characterizations only working over Iwanaga–Gorenstein rings? We prove that if R is a commutative noetherian ring of finite Krull dimension then the following are equivalent: 1. R is an Iwanaga–Gorenstein ring. 2. Every acyclic complex of injective modules is totally acyclic. 3. The cycles of every acyclic complex of Gorenstein injective modules are Gorenstein injective. 4. Every acyclic complex of projective modules is totally acyclic. 5. …
A Zariski-Local Notion Of F-Total Acyclicity For Complexes Of Sheaves, Lars Winther Christensen, Sergio Estrada, Alina Iacob
A Zariski-Local Notion Of F-Total Acyclicity For Complexes Of Sheaves, Lars Winther Christensen, Sergio Estrada, Alina Iacob
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
We study a notion of total acyclicity for complexes of flat sheaves over a scheme. It is Zariski-local—i.e. it can be verified on any open affine covering of the scheme—and for sheaves over a quasi-compact semi-separated scheme it agrees with the categorical notion. In particular, it agrees, in their setting, with the notion studied by Murfet and Salarian for sheaves over a noetherian semi-separated scheme. As part of the study we recover, and in several cases extend the validity of, recent results on existence of covers and precovers in categories of sheaves. One consequence is the existence of an adjoint …
Gorenstein Flat And Projective (Pre)Covers, Sergio Estrada, Alina Iacob, Sinem Odabasi
Gorenstein Flat And Projective (Pre)Covers, Sergio Estrada, Alina Iacob, Sinem Odabasi
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
We consider a right coherent ring R. We prove that the class of Gorenstein flat complexes is covering in the category of complexes of left R-modules Ch(R). When R is also left n-perfect, we prove that the class of Gorenstein projective complexes is special precovering in Ch(R).
Gorenstein Injective Envelopes And Covers Over Two Sided Noetherian Rings, Alina Iacob
Gorenstein Injective Envelopes And Covers Over Two Sided Noetherian Rings, Alina Iacob
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
We prove that the class of Gorenstein injective modules is both enveloping and covering over a two sided noetherian ring such that the character modules of Gorenstein injective modules are Gorenstein flat. In the second part of the paper we consider the connection between the Gorenstein injective modules and the strongly cotorsion modules. We prove that when the ring R is commutative noetherian of finite Krull dimension, the class of Gorenstein injective modules coincides with that of strongly cotorsion modules if and only if the ring R is in fact Gorenstein.
Multiple Solutions With Constant Sign Of A Dirichlet Problem For A Class Of Elliptic Systems With Variable Exponent Growth, Li Yin, Jinghua Yao, Qihu Zhang, Chunshan Zhao
Multiple Solutions With Constant Sign Of A Dirichlet Problem For A Class Of Elliptic Systems With Variable Exponent Growth, Li Yin, Jinghua Yao, Qihu Zhang, Chunshan Zhao
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
We present here, in the system setting, a new set of growth conditions under which we manage to use a novel method to verify the Cerami compactness condition. By localization argument, decomposition technique and variational methods, we are able to show the existence of multiple solutions with constant sign for the problem without the well-known Ambrosetti--Rabinowitz type growth condition. More precisely, we manage to show that the problem admits four, six and infinitely many solutions respectively.
Minimization And Eulerian Formulation Of Differential Geometry Based Nonpolar Multiscale Solvation Models, Zhan Chen
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
In this work, the existence of a global minimizer for the previous Lagrangian formulation of nonpolar solvation model proposed in [1] has been proved. One of the proofs involves a construction of a phase field model that converges to the Lagrangian formulation. Moreover, an Eulerian formulation of nonpolar solvation model is proposed and implemented under a similar parameterization scheme to that in [1]. By doing so, the connection, similarity and difference between the Eulerian formulation and its Lagrangian counterpart can be analyzed. It turns out that both of them have a great potential in solvation prediction for nonpolar molecules, while …
Extension Groups For Dg Modules, Saeed Nasseh, Sean Sather-Wagstaff
Extension Groups For Dg Modules, Saeed Nasseh, Sean Sather-Wagstaff
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
Let M and N be differential graded (DG) modules over a positively graded commutative DG algebra A. We show that the Ext-groups ExtiA(M,N) defined in terms of semi-projective resolutions are not in general isomorphic to the Yoneda Ext-groups YExtiA(M,N) given in terms of equivalence classes of extensions. On the other hand, we show that these groups are isomorphic when the first DG module is semi-projective.
Rank Of Submatrices Of The Pascal Matrix, Scott N. Kersey
Rank Of Submatrices Of The Pascal Matrix, Scott N. Kersey
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
In a previous paper, we derived necessary and sufficient conditions for the invertibility of square submatrices of the Pascal upper triangular matrix. To do so, we established a connection with the two-point Birkhoff interpolation problem. In this paper, we extend this result by deriving a formula for the rank of submatrices of the Pascal matrix. Our formula works for both square and non-square submatrices. We also provide bases for the row and column spaces of these submatrices. Further, we apply our result to one-point lacunary polynomial approximation.

A Generalized Class Of Exponentiated Modified Weibull Distribution With Applications, Shusen Pu, Broderick O. Oluyede, Yuqi Qui, Daniel F. Linder
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
In this paper, a new class of five parameter gamma-exponentiated or generalized modified Weibull (GEMW) distribution which includes exponential, Rayleigh, Weibull, modified Weibull, exponentiated Weibull, exponentiated exponential, exponentiated modified Weibull, exponentiated modified exponential, gamma-exponentiated exponential, gamma-exponentiated Rayleigh, gamma-modified Weibull, gamma-modified exponential, gamma-Weibull, gamma-Rayleigh and gamma-exponential distributions as special cases is proposed and studied. Mathematical properties of this new class of distributions including moments, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, distribution of order statistics and Renyi entropy are presented. Maximum likelihood estimation technique is used to estimate the model parameters and applications to real data sets presented in order to illustrate …
Equivariant Formality Of Transversely Symplectic Foliations And Frobenius Manifolds, Yi Lin, Xiangdong Yang
Equivariant Formality Of Transversely Symplectic Foliations And Frobenius Manifolds, Yi Lin, Xiangdong Yang
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
Consider the Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group on a transversely symplectic foliation whose basic cohomology satisfies the Hard Lefschetz property. We establish an equivariant formality theorem and an equivariant symplectic dδ-lemma in this setting. As an application, we show that there exists a natural Frobenius manifold structure on the equivariant basic cohomology of the given foliation. In particular, this result provides a class of new examples of dGBV-algebras whose cohomology carries a Frobenius manifold structure.
Lefschetz Contact Manifolds And Odd Dimensional Symplectic Geometry, Yi Lin
Lefschetz Contact Manifolds And Odd Dimensional Symplectic Geometry, Yi Lin
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
In the literature, there are two different versions of Hard Lefschetz theorems for a compact Sasakian manifold. The first version, due to Kacimi-Alaoui, asserts that the basic cohomology groups of a compact Sasakian manifold satisfies the transverse Lefschetz property. The second version, established far more recently by Cappelletti-Montano, De Nicola, and Yudin, holds for the De Rham cohomology groups of a compact Sasakian manifold. In the current paper, using the formalism of odd dimensional symplectic geometry, we prove a Hard Lefschetz theorem for compact K-contact manifolds, which implies immediately that the two existing versions of Hard Lefschetz theorems are mathematically …

The Log-Logistic Weibull Distribution With Applications To Lifetime Data, Broderick O. Oluyede, Susan Foya, Gayan Warahena-Liyanage, Shujiao Huang
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
In this paper, a new generalized distribution called the log-logistic Weibull (LLoGW) distribution is developed and presented. This distribution contain the log-logistic Rayleigh (LLoGR), log-logistic exponential (LLoGE) and log-logistic (LLoG) distributions as special cases. The structural properties of the distribution including the hazard function, reverse hazard function, quantile function, probability weighted moments, moments, conditional moments, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, distribution of order statistics, L-moments and Renyi entropy are derived. Method of maximum likelihood is used to estimate the parameters of this new distribution. A simulation study to examine the bias, mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimators …
Stabilizing The Lorenz Flows Using A Closed Loop Quotient Controller, James P. Braselton, Yan Wu
Stabilizing The Lorenz Flows Using A Closed Loop Quotient Controller, James P. Braselton, Yan Wu
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
In this study, we introduce a closed loop quotient controller into the three-dimensional Lorenz system. We then compute the equilibrium points and analyze their local stability. We use several examples to illustrate how cross-sections of the basins of attraction for the equilibrium points look for various parameter values. We then provided numerical evidence that with the controller, the controlled Lorenz system cannot exhibit chaos if the equilibrium points are locally stable.
