Hopf Bifurcation In Models For Pertussis Epidemiology, Herbert W. Hethcote, Yi Li, Zhujun Jing
Hopf Bifurcation In Models For Pertussis Epidemiology, Herbert W. Hethcote, Yi Li, Zhujun Jing
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Pertussis (whooping cough) incidence in the United States has oscillated with a period of about four years since data was first collected in 1922. An infection with pertussis confers immunity for several years, but then the immunity wanes, so that reinfection is possible. A pertussis reinfection is mild after partial loss of immunity, but the reinfection can be severe after complete loss of immunity. Three pertussis transmission models with waning of immunity are examined for periodic solutions. Equilibria and their stability are determined. Hopf bifurcation of periodic solutions around the endemic equilibrium can occur for some parameter values in two …
Self-Consistency Algorithms, Thaddeus Tarpey
Self-Consistency Algorithms, Thaddeus Tarpey
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
The k-means algorithm and the principal curve algorithm are special cases of a self-consistency algorithm. A general self-consistency algorithm is described and results are provided describing the behavior of the algorithm for theoretical distributions, in particular elliptical distributions. The results are used to contrast the behavior of the algorithms when applied to a theoretical model and when applied to finite datasets from the model. The algorithm is also used to determine principal loops for the bivariate normal distribution.
Generalized Averages For Solutions Of Two-Point Dirichlet Problems, Philip Korman, Yi Li
Generalized Averages For Solutions Of Two-Point Dirichlet Problems, Philip Korman, Yi Li
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
For very general two-point boundary value problems we show that any positive solution satisfies a certain integral relation. As a consequence we obtain some new uniqueness and multiplicity results.
Axiomatic Approach For Quantification Of Image Resolution, Ge Wang, Yi Li
Axiomatic Approach For Quantification Of Image Resolution, Ge Wang, Yi Li
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Image resolution is the primary parameter for performance characterization of any imaging system. In this work, we present an axiomatic approach for quantification of image resolution, and demonstrate that a good image resolution measure should be proportional to the standard deviation of the point spread function of an imaging system.
Random Fluctuations Of Convex Domains And Lattice Points, Alex Iosevich, Kimberly Kinateder
Random Fluctuations Of Convex Domains And Lattice Points, Alex Iosevich, Kimberly Kinateder
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
In this paper, we examine a random version of the lattice point problem.
Variational Principles For Average Exit Time Moments For Diffusions In Euclidean Space, Kimberly Kinateder, Patrick Mcdonald
Variational Principles For Average Exit Time Moments For Diffusions In Euclidean Space, Kimberly Kinateder, Patrick Mcdonald
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Let D be a smoothly bounded domain in Euclidean space and let Xt be a diffusion in Euclidean space. For a class of diffusions, we develop variational principles which characterize the average of the moments of the exit time from D of a particle driven by Xt, where the average is taken overall starting points in D.

Anticommuting Derivations, Steen Pedersen
Anticommuting Derivations, Steen Pedersen
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
We show that the re are no non-trivial closable derivations of a C*-algebra anticommuting with an ergodic action of a compact group, supposing that the set of squares is dense in the group. We also show that the re are no non-trivial closable densely defined rank one derivations on any C*-algebra.
Stability Of A Semilinear Cauchy Problem, Yi Liu, Yi Li, Yinbin Deng
Stability Of A Semilinear Cauchy Problem, Yi Liu, Yi Li, Yinbin Deng
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
A report of progress in linear and nonlinear partial differential equations, microlocal analysis, singular partial differential operators, spectral analysis and hyperfunction theory. The papers aretaken from a conference on partial differential equations and their applications, held in Wuhan.

On The Exactness Of An S-Shaped Bifurcation Curve, Philip Korman, Yi Li
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
For a class of two-point boundary value problems we prove exactness of an S-shaped bifurcation curve. Our result applies to a problem from combustion theory, which involves nonlinearities like for .
