Existence Of A Positive Solution For A Right-Focal Dynamic Boundary Value Problem, Jeffrey Lyons
Existence Of A Positive Solution For A Right-Focal Dynamic Boundary Value Problem, Jeffrey Lyons
Mathematics Colloquium Series
This talk presents an application made from an extension of the Leggett-Williams fixed-point theorem—which requires neither of the functional boundaries to be invariant—to a second-order right focal dynamic boundary value problem on a time scale. To conclude, Lyons will provide a non-trivial example.

Early in their mathematical career, students learn about how ellipses and hyperbolas are formed, their properties, and their applications. In particular, an ellipse is the set of all points in the plane whose combined distance from two fixed locations (foci) is constant. A hyperbola is formed in much the same way, except instead of combining (adding) the distance from the foci, the difference is used. This research begins by examining a new locus of points. The locus of points if formed by taking all points whose distance from two fixed locations when multiplied in constant. The difference discernible types of …

During Calculus students learn how to find the volume of regions formed by rotating a function about a vertical or horizontal line. This technique is useful in finding the volume of regular/symmetric three dimensional regions, but fails for regions which do not possess these qualities. This project is a generalization of this idea in order to find the volume of a solid generated by revolving one function about another. This should lead to being able to find or approximate the volume of regions which are not symmetric/regular.
