Plasma Confinement: Mathematical Modeling Of A Fusion Reactor, James Scott Jones
Plasma Confinement: Mathematical Modeling Of A Fusion Reactor, James Scott Jones
Theses Digitization Project
This study will discuss currently used power sources and their drawbacks, leading to covering fusion as an energy source and its potential. Fusion has three significant important advantages: Fuel reserves, safety, and environment. A significant amount of fuel reserves comes from the natural occurrence in ocean water of deuterium at a 1 to 6700 ratio, accounting for the energy supply being on the order of 2 billion years. Fusion does not produce any greenhouse gases and its only 'exhaust' is that of harmless inert helium.
A Study Of Finite Symmetrical Groups, May Majid
A Study Of Finite Symmetrical Groups, May Majid
Theses Digitization Project
This study investigated finite homomorphic images of several progenitors, including 2*⁵ : S₅, 2*⁶ : A₆, and 3*⁵ : C₅ The technique of manual of double coset enumeration is used to construct several groups by hand and computer-based proofs are given for the isomorphism types of the groups that are not constructed.
The Fibonacci Sequence And Hosoya's Triangle, Jeffrey Lee Smith
The Fibonacci Sequence And Hosoya's Triangle, Jeffrey Lee Smith
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this thesis is to study the Fibonacci sequence in a context many are unfamiliar with. A triangular array of numbers, similar looking to Pascal's triangle, was constructed a few decades ago and is called Hosoya's triangle. Each element within the triangle is created using Fibonacci numbers.
Hyperbolicity Equations For Knot Complements, Christopher Martin Jacinto
Hyperbolicity Equations For Knot Complements, Christopher Martin Jacinto
Theses Digitization Project
This study analyzes Carlo Petronio's paper, An Algorithm Producing Hyperbolicity Equations for a Link Complement in S³. Using the figure eight knot as an example, we will explain how Petronio's algorithm was able to decompose the knot complement of an alternating knot into tetrahedra. Then, using the vertex invariants of these tetrahedra, we will explain how Petronio was able to create hyperbolicity equations.
Behavior Of Solutions For Bernoulli Initial-Value Problems, Carlos Marcelo Sardan
Behavior Of Solutions For Bernoulli Initial-Value Problems, Carlos Marcelo Sardan
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this project is to investigate blow-up properties of solutions for specific initial-value problems that involve Bernoulli Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE's). The objective is to find conditions on the coefficients and on the initial-values that lead to unbounded growth of solutions in finite time.
Whitney's 2-Isomorphism Theorem For Hypergraphs, Eric Anthony Taylor
Whitney's 2-Isomorphism Theorem For Hypergraphs, Eric Anthony Taylor
Theses Digitization Project
This study will examine a fundamental theorem from graph theory: Whitney's 2-Isomorphism Theorem. Whitney's 2-Isomorphism theorem characterizes when two graphs have isomorphic cycle matroids.
A Study Of Finite Symmetrical Groups, Patrick Kevin Martinez
A Study Of Finite Symmetrical Groups, Patrick Kevin Martinez
Theses Digitization Project
This study discovered several important groups that involve the classical and sporadic groups. These groups appeared as finite homomorphic images of the progenitors 3*8 : PGL₂(7), 2*¹⁴ : L₃ (2), 5*³ : S₃ and 7*2 : m S₃.
Enumeration And Symmetric Presentations Of Groups, With Music Theory Applications, Jesse Graham Train
Enumeration And Symmetric Presentations Of Groups, With Music Theory Applications, Jesse Graham Train
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this project is to construct groups as finite homomorphic images of infinite semi-direct products. In particular, we will construct certain classical groups and subgroups of sporadic groups, as well groups with applications to the field of music theory.
Comparing The Algebraic And Analytical Properties Of P-Adic Numbers With Real Numbers, Joseph Colton Wilson
Comparing The Algebraic And Analytical Properties Of P-Adic Numbers With Real Numbers, Joseph Colton Wilson
Theses Digitization Project
This study will provide a glimpse into the world of p-adic numbers, which encompasses a different way to measure the distance between rational numbers. Simple calculations and surprising results are examined to help familiarize the reader to the new space.
The Banach-Tarski Paradox, Matthew Jacob Norman
The Banach-Tarski Paradox, Matthew Jacob Norman
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this thesis is to establish the history and motivation leading up to the Banach-Tarski Paradox, as well as its proof. This study discusses the early history of set theory as it is documented as well as the necessary basics of set theory in order to further understand the contents within. Set theory not only proved to be for the mathematical at heart but also struck interest into the mind of philosophers, theologians, and logicians.
The Complexity Of Linear Algebra, Leann Kay Christensen
The Complexity Of Linear Algebra, Leann Kay Christensen
Theses Digitization Project
This study examines the complexity of linear algebra. Complexity means how much work, or the number of calculations or time it takes to perform a task. As linear algebra is used more and more in different fields, it becomes useful to study ways of reducing the amount of work required to complete basic procedures.
