Enhancing The Quandle Coloring Invariant For Knots And Links, Karina Elle Cho
Enhancing The Quandle Coloring Invariant For Knots And Links, Karina Elle Cho
HMC Senior Theses
Quandles, which are algebraic structures related to knots, can be used to color knot diagrams, and the number of these colorings is called the quandle coloring invariant. We strengthen the quandle coloring invariant by considering a graph structure on the space of quandle colorings of a knot, and we call our graph the quandle coloring quiver. This structure is a categorification of the quandle coloring invariant. Then, we strengthen the quiver by decorating it with Boltzmann weights. Explicit examples of links that show that our enhancements are proper are provided, as well as background information in quandle theory.
Radial Solutions To Semipositone Dirichlet Problems, Ethan Sargent
Radial Solutions To Semipositone Dirichlet Problems, Ethan Sargent
HMC Senior Theses
We study a Dirichlet problem, investigating existence and uniqueness for semipositone and superlinear nonlinearities. We make use of Pohozaev identities, energy arguments, and bifurcation from a simple eigenvalue.
Mathematical Modeling Of Type 1 Diabetes, Gianna Wu
Mathematical Modeling Of Type 1 Diabetes, Gianna Wu
HMC Senior Theses
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease where the pancreas produces little to no insulin, which is a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels. This happens because the immune system attacks (and kills) the beta cells of the pancreas, which are responsible for insulin production. Higher levels of glucose in the blood could have very negative, long term effects such as organ damage and blindness.
To date, T1D does not have a defined cause nor cure, and research for this disease is slow and difficult due to the invasive nature of T1D experimentation. Mathematical modeling provides an alternative approach …
Using Neural Networks To Classify Discrete Circular Probability Distributions, Madelyn Gaumer
Using Neural Networks To Classify Discrete Circular Probability Distributions, Madelyn Gaumer
HMC Senior Theses
Given the rise in the application of neural networks to all sorts of interesting problems, it seems natural to apply them to statistical tests. This senior thesis studies whether neural networks built to classify discrete circular probability distributions can outperform a class of well-known statistical tests for uniformity for discrete circular data that includes the Rayleigh Test1, the Watson Test2, and the Ajne Test3. Each neural network used is relatively small with no more than 3 layers: an input layer taking in discrete data sets on a circle, a hidden layer, and an output …
Randomized Algorithms For Preconditioner Selection With Applications To Kernel Regression, Conner Dipaolo
Randomized Algorithms For Preconditioner Selection With Applications To Kernel Regression, Conner Dipaolo
HMC Senior Theses
The task of choosing a preconditioner M to use when solving a linear system Ax=b with iterative methods is often tedious and most methods remain ad-hoc. This thesis presents a randomized algorithm to make this chore less painful through use of randomized algorithms for estimating traces. In particular, we show that the preconditioner stability || I - M-1A ||F, known to forecast preconditioner quality, can be computed in the time it takes to run a constant number of iterations of conjugate gradients through use of sketching methods. This is in spite of folklore which …
