Monotonicity Properties Of Functionals Under Ricci Flow On Manifolds Without And With Boundary, Paul Bracken
Monotonicity Properties Of Functionals Under Ricci Flow On Manifolds Without And With Boundary, Paul Bracken
School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations
In this paper, the idea of the Ricci flow is introduced and its significance and importance to related problems in mathematics had been discussed. Several functionals are defined and their behavior is studied under Ricci flow. A unique minimizer is shown to exist for one of the functionals. This functional evaluated at the minimizer is strictly increasing. The results for the first functional considered are extended to manifold with boundary. Finally, two physically motivated examples are presented.
Free Energies For Nonlinear Materials With Memory, John Murrough Golden
Free Energies For Nonlinear Materials With Memory, John Murrough Golden
Articles
An exploration of representations of free energies and associated rates of dissipation for a broad class of nonlinear viscoelastic materials is presented in this work. Also included are expressions for the stress functions and work functions derivable from such free energies. For simplicity, only the scalar case is considered. Certain standard formulae are generalized to include higher power terms.
It is shown that the correct initial procedure in this context is to specify the rate of dissipation as a positive semi-definite functional and then to determine the free energy from this, rather than the other way around, which would be …
Oscillation Tests For Nonlinear Differential Equations With Nonmonotone Delays, Nurten Kiliç
Oscillation Tests For Nonlinear Differential Equations With Nonmonotone Delays, Nurten Kiliç
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, our aim is to investigate a class of first-order nonlinear delay differential equations with several deviating arguments. In addition, we present some sufficient conditions for the oscillatory solutions of these equations. Differing from other studies in the literature, delay terms are not necessarily monotone. Finally, we give examples to demonstrate the results.

Modified Hermite Operational Matrix Method For Nonlinear Lane-Emden Problem, Bushra Esaa Kashem
Al-Qadisiyah Journal of Pure Science
Nonlinear Lane –Emden equations are significant in astrophysics and mathematical physics. The aim of this paper is submitted a new approximate method for finding solution to nonlinear Lane-Emden type equations appearing in astrophysics based on modified Hermite integration operational matrix. The suggest technique is based on taking the truncated modified Hermite series of the solution function in the nonlinear Lane-Emden equation and then changed into a matrix equation with the given conditions. Nonlinear system of algebraic equation using collection points is obtained. The present method is applied on some relevant physical problems as nonlinear Lane-Emden type equations.
On The Qualitative Analysis Of Volterra Iddes With Infinite Delay, Osman Tunç, Erdal Korkmaz, Özkan Atan
On The Qualitative Analysis Of Volterra Iddes With Infinite Delay, Osman Tunç, Erdal Korkmaz, Özkan Atan
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
This investigation deals with a nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equation with infinite retardation (IDDE).We will prove three new results on the stability, uniformly stability (US) and square integrability (SI) of solutions of that IDDE. The proofs of theorems rely on the use of an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF). By the outcomes of this paper, we generalize and obtain some former results in mathematical literature under weaker conditions.

New Criteria For The Oscillation And Asymptotic Behavior Of Second-Order Neutral Differential Equations With Several Delays, Başak Karpuz, Shyam Sundar Santra
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotic behavior are established of the solutions to second-order neutral delay differential equations of the form \begin{equation} \frac{d}{d{}t}\Biggl(r(t)\biggl(\frac{d}{d{}t}[x(t)-p(t)x(\tau(t))]\biggr)^{\gamma}\Biggr)+\sum_{i=1}^{m}q_{i}(t)f_{i}\bigl(x(\sigma_{i}(t))\bigr)=0 \quad\text{for}\ t\geq{}t_{0}.\nonumber \end{equation} We consider two cases when $f_{i}(u)/u^{\beta}$ is nonincreasing for $\gamma>\beta$, and nondecreasing for $\beta>\gamma$, where $\beta$ and $\gamma$ are quotients of two positive odd integers. Our main tool is Lebesgue's dominated convergence theorem. Examples illustrating the applicability of the results are also given, and state an open problem.
An Inference-Driven Branch And Bound Optimization Strategy For Planning Ambulance Services, Kevin Mcdaniel
An Inference-Driven Branch And Bound Optimization Strategy For Planning Ambulance Services, Kevin Mcdaniel
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Strategic placement of ambulances is important to the efficient functioning of emergency services. As part of an ongoing collaboration with Wayne County 911, we developed a strategy to optimize the placement of ambulances throughout Wayne County based on de-identified call and response data from 2016 and 2017. The primary goals of the optimization were minimizing annual operating cost and mean response time, as well as providing a constructive solution that could naturally evolve from the existing plan. This thesis details the derivation and implementation of one of the optimization strategies used in this project. It is based on parametric statistical …

Improvements To Correlation Attacks Against Stream Ciphers With Nonlinear Combiners, Brian Stottler
Improvements To Correlation Attacks Against Stream Ciphers With Nonlinear Combiners, Brian Stottler
Mathematical Science: Student Scholarship & Creative Works
Our paper describes a particular class of digital cipher system that generates encryption keys using "linear feedback shift registers" (LFSRs) and nonlinear Boolean functions. In it, we review the details of such systems and the existing cryptanalysis methods used to recover secret keys and break the corresponding encryption. We also introduce a method for maximizing the statistical power of these attacks, alongside a novel attack method that makes use of a property of Boolean functions that we define and analyze.
Local And Global Dynamic Bifurcations Of Nonlinear Evolution Equations, Desheng Li, Zhi-Qiang Wang
Local And Global Dynamic Bifurcations Of Nonlinear Evolution Equations, Desheng Li, Zhi-Qiang Wang
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
We present new local and global dynamic bifurcation results for nonlinear evolution equations of the form ut + Au = fλ(u) on a Banach space X, where A is a sectorial operator, and λ ∈ R is the bifurcation parameter. Suppose the equation has a trivial solution branch {(0, λ) : λ ∈ R}. Denote Φλ the local semiflow generated by the initial value problem of the equation. It is shown that if the crossing number n at a bifurcation value λ = λ0 is nonzero and moreover, S0 = {0} is an isolated invariant set of Φλ0 , then …

On Osgood's Criterion For Classical Wave Equations And Nonlinear Shallow Water Wave Equations, Timothy Smith, Greg Spradlin

Orbital Stability Results For Soliton Solutions To Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations With External Potentials, Joseph B. Lindgren
Orbital Stability Results For Soliton Solutions To Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations With External Potentials, Joseph B. Lindgren
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
For certain nonlinear Schroedinger equations there exist solutions which are called solitary waves. Addition of a potential $V$ changes the dynamics, but for small enough $||V||_{L^\infty}$ we can still obtain stability (and approximately Newtonian motion of the solitary wave's center of mass) for soliton-like solutions up to a finite time that depends on the size and scale of the potential $V$. Our method is an adaptation of the well-known Lyapunov method.
For the sake of completeness, we also prove long-time stability of traveling solitons in the case $V=0$.

In the paper below we consider a problem of stabilization of a priori unknown unstable periodic orbits in non-linear autonomous discrete dynamical systems. We suggest a generalization of a non-linear DFC scheme to improve the rate of detecting T-cycles. Some numerical simulations are presented.

On The Generalized Linear And Non-Linear Dfc In Non-Linear Dynamics, Dmitriy Dmitrishin, Anna Khamitova, Alexander M. Stokolos
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
The article is devoted to investigation of robust stability of the generalized linear control of the discrete autonomous dynamical systems. Sharp necessary conditions on the size of the set of multipliers that guaranty robust stabilization of the equilibrium of the system are provided. Surprisingly enough it turns out that the generalized linear delayed feedback control has same limitation as the classical Pyragas DFC. This generalized Ushio 1996 DFC limitation statement. Note that in scalar case a generalized non-linear control can robustly stabilize an equilibrium for any admissible range of multipliers. In the current article similar result is obtained in the …
Reverse Engineering The Human Brain: An Evolutionary Computation Approach To The Analysis Of Fmri, Nicholas Allgaier
Reverse Engineering The Human Brain: An Evolutionary Computation Approach To The Analysis Of Fmri, Nicholas Allgaier
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
The field of neuroimaging has truly become data rich, and as such, novel analytical methods capable of gleaning meaningful information from large stores of imaging data are in high demand. Those methods that might also be applicable on the level of individual subjects, and thus potentially useful clinically, are of special interest. In this dissertation we introduce just such a method, called nonlinear functional mapping (NFM), and demonstrate its application in the analysis of resting state fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) from a 242-subject subset of the IMAGEN project, a European study of risk-taking behavior in adolescents that includes longitudinal …
A Numerical Method For A Nonlinear Singularly Perturbed Interior Layer Problem Using An Approximate Layer Location, Jason Quinn
A Numerical Method For A Nonlinear Singularly Perturbed Interior Layer Problem Using An Approximate Layer Location, Jason Quinn
Articles
A class of nonlinear singularly perturbed interior layer problems is examined in this paper. Solutions exhibit an interior layer at an a priori unknown location. A numerical method is presented that uses a piecewise uniform mesh refined around approximations to the first two terms of the asymptotic expansion of the interior layer location. The first term in the expansion is used exactly in the construction of the approximation which restricts the range of problem data considered. The method is shown to converge point-wise to the true solution with a first order convergence rate (overlooking a logarithmic factor) for sufficiently small …
X2 Tests For The Choice Of The Regularization Parameter In Nonlinear Inverse Problems, J. L. Mead, C. C. Hammerquist
X2 Tests For The Choice Of The Regularization Parameter In Nonlinear Inverse Problems, J. L. Mead, C. C. Hammerquist
Jodi Mead
We address discrete nonlinear inverse problems with weighted least squares and Tikhonov regularization. Regularization is a way to add more information to the problem when it is ill-posed or ill-conditioned. However, it is still an open question as to how to weight this information. The discrepancy principle considers the residual norm to determine the regularization weight or parameter, while the χ2 method [J. Mead, J. Inverse Ill-Posed Probl., 16 (2008), pp. 175–194; J. Mead and R. A. Renaut, Inverse Problems, 25 (2009), 025002; J. Mead, Appl. Math. Comput., 219 (2013), pp. 5210–5223; R. A. Renaut, I. Hnetynkova, and J. L. …
A New Four Point Circular-Invariant Corner-Cutting Subdivision For Curve Design, Jian-Ao Lian
A New Four Point Circular-Invariant Corner-Cutting Subdivision For Curve Design, Jian-Ao Lian
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
A 4-point nonlinear corner-cutting subdivision scheme is established. It is induced from a special C-shaped biarc circular spline structure. The scheme is circular-invariant and can be effectively applied to 2-dimensional (2D) data sets that are locally convex. The scheme is also extended adaptively to non-convex data. Explicit examples are demonstrated.
On The Influence Of Damping In Hyperbolic Equations With Parabolic Degeneracy, Ralph Saxton, Katarzyna Saxton
On The Influence Of Damping In Hyperbolic Equations With Parabolic Degeneracy, Ralph Saxton, Katarzyna Saxton
Ralph Saxton
This paper examines the effect of damping on a nonstrictly hyperbolic 2x2 system. It is shown that the growth of singularities is not restricted as in the strictly hyperbolic case where dissipation can be strong enough to preserve the smoothness of solutions globally in time. Here, irrespective of the stabilizing properties of damping, solutions are found to break down in finite time on a line where two eigenvalues coincide in state space.

Variational Embedded Solitons, And Traveling Wavetrains Generated By Generalized Hopf Bifurcations, In Some Nlpde Systems, Todd Blanton Smith
Variational Embedded Solitons, And Traveling Wavetrains Generated By Generalized Hopf Bifurcations, In Some Nlpde Systems, Todd Blanton Smith
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this Ph.D. thesis, we study regular and embedded solitons and generalized and degenerate Hopf bifurcations. These two areas of work are seperate and independent from each other. First, variational methods are employed to generate families of both regular and embedded solitary wave solutions for a generalized Pochhammer PDE and a generalized microstructure PDE that are currently of great interest. The technique for obtaining the embedded solitons incorporates several recent generalizations of the usual variational technique and is thus topical in itself. One unusual feature of the solitary waves derived here is that we are able to obtain them in …
Convergence Of The Sinc Method Applied To Volterra Integral Equations, M. Zarebnia, J. Rashidinia
Convergence Of The Sinc Method Applied To Volterra Integral Equations, M. Zarebnia, J. Rashidinia
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
A collocation procedure is developed for the linear and nonlinear Volterra integral equations, using the globally defined Sinc and auxiliary basis functions. We analytically show the exponential convergence of the Sinc collocation method for approximate solution of Volterra integral equations. Numerical examples are included to confirm applicability and justify rapid convergence of our method.

Some oscillation criteria for the following second-order neutral differential equation [x(t)\pm r(t) f( x(t-\gamma))]''+p(t) g(x(t-\alpha)) -q(t) g(x(t-\beta )) = s(t) where t\geq t_0, \gamma,\alpha,\beta \in R^+ with \alpha \geq \beta, r \in C^2([t_0,\infty ), R^+) , p,q\in C([t_0,\infty ),R^+) and f,g\in C(R,R), s\in C([ t_0,\infty),R) have been obtained. Our results are not restricted with boundedness of solutions.
Soliton Solutions Of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations Using Variational Approximations And Inverse Scattering Techniques, Thomas Vogel
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Throughout the last several decades many techniques have been developed in establishing solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDE). These techniques are characterized by their limited reach in solving large classes of NPDE. This body of work will study the analysis of NPDE using two of the most ubiquitous techniques developed in the last century. In this body of work, the analysis and techniques herein are applied to unsolved physical problems in both the fields of variational approximations and inverse scattering transform. Additionally, a new technique for estimating the error of a variational approximation is established. Note that the material …
A Topological Approach To Nonlinear Analysis, Wendy Ann Peske
A Topological Approach To Nonlinear Analysis, Wendy Ann Peske
Theses Digitization Project
A topological approach to nonlinear analysis allows for strikingly beautiful proofs and simplified calculations. This topological approach employs many of the ideas of continuous topology, including convergence, compactness, metrization, complete metric spaces, uniform spaces and function spaces. This thesis illustrates using the topological approach in proving the Cauchy-Peano Existence theorem. The topological proof utilizes the ideas of complete metric spaces, Ascoli-Arzela theorem, topological properties in Euclidean n-space and normed linear spaces, and the extension of Brouwer's fixed point theorem to Schauder's fixed point theorem, and Picard's theorem.
Projective And Non-Projective Systems Of First Order Nonlinear Differential Equations, Riad A. Rejoub
Projective And Non-Projective Systems Of First Order Nonlinear Differential Equations, Riad A. Rejoub
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
It is well established that many physical and chemical phenomena such as those in chemical reaction kinetics, laser cavities, rotating fluids, and in plasmas and in solid state physics are governed by nonlinear differential equations whose solutions are of variable character and even may lack regularities. Such systems are usually first studied qualitatively by examining their temporal behavior near singular points of their phase portrait.
In this work we will be concerned with systems governed by the time evolution equations [see PDF for mathematical formulas]

Nonlinear-Interaction Of A Detonation Vorticity Wave, D. G. Lasseigne, T. L. Jackson, M. Y. Hussaini
Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications
The interaction of an oblique, overdriven detonation wave with a vorticity disturbance is investigated by a direct two-dimensional numerical simulation using a multidomain, finite-difference solution of the compressible Euler equations. The results are compared to those of linear theory, which predict that the effect of exothermicity on the interaction is relatively small except possibly near a critical angle where linear theory no longer holds. It is found that the steady-state computational results whenever obtained in this study agree with the results of linear theory. However, for cases with incident angle near the critical angle, moderate disturbance amplitudes, and/or sudden transient …
