The originality of our research, the set of dual quaternion matrix we studied, will be defined for the first time in this study, and its properties will be given. Moreover, this study is critical because it is an applied study related to dual quaternion matrices. It will be easier to solve examples with large matrix sizes with MATLAB. People who use different …


Weighted Inverse Weibull Distribution: Statistical Properties And Applications, Valeriia Sherina, Broderick O. Oluyede Jan 2014

Weighted Inverse Weibull Distribution: Statistical Properties And Applications, Valeriia Sherina, Broderick O. Oluyede

Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications

In this paper, the weighted inverse Weibull (WIW) class of distributions is proposed and studied. This class of distributions contains several models such as: length-biased, hazard and reverse hazard proportional inverse Weibull, proportional inverse Weibull, inverse Weibull, inverse exponential, inverse Rayleigh, and Fr´echet distributions as special cases. Properties of these distributions including the behavior of the hazard function, moments, coefficients of variation, skewness, and kurtosis, R´enyi entropy and Fisher information are presented. Estimates of the model parameters via method of maximum likelihood (ML) are presented. Extensive simulation study is conducted and numerical examples are given.


On The Representation Of Inverse Semigroups By Difunctional Relations, Nathan Bloomfield Dec 2012

On The Representation Of Inverse Semigroups By Difunctional Relations, Nathan Bloomfield

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

A semigroup S is called inverse if for each s in S, there exists a unique t in S such that sts = s and tst = t. A relation σ contained in X x Y is called full if for all x in X and y in Y there exist x' in X and y' in Y such that (x, y') and (x', y) are in σ, and is called difunctional if σ satisfies the equation σ σ-1 σ = σ. Inverse semigroups were introduced by Wagner and Preston in 1952 and 1954, respectively, and difunctional relations were …


Spectral Density Estimation Through A Regularized Inverse Problem, Chunfeng Huang, Tailen Hsing, Noel Cressie Nov 2012

Spectral Density Estimation Through A Regularized Inverse Problem, Chunfeng Huang, Tailen Hsing, Noel Cressie

Professor Noel Cressie

In the study of stationary stochastic processes on the real line, the covariance function and the spectral density function are parameters of considerable interest. They are equivalent ways of expressing the temporal dependence in the process. In this article, we consider the spectral density function and propose a new estimator that is not based on the periodogram; the estimator is derived through a regularized inverse problem. A further feature of the estimator is that the data are not required to be observed on a grid. When the regularization condition is based on the function's first derivative, we give the estimator …

Developing An Improved Shift-And-Invert Arnoldi Method, H. Saberi Najafi, M. Shams Solary Jun 2010

Developing An Improved Shift-And-Invert Arnoldi Method, H. Saberi Najafi, M. Shams Solary

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

An algorithm has been developed for finding a number of eigenvalues close to a given shift and in interval [ Lb,Ub ] of a large unsymmetric matrix pair. The algorithm is based on the shift-andinvert Arnoldi with a block matrix method. The block matrix method is simple and it uses for obtaining the inverse matrix. This algorithm also accelerates the shift-and-invert Arnoldi Algorithm by selecting a suitable shift. We call this algorithm Block Shift-and-Invert or BSI. Numerical examples are presented and a comparison has been shown with the results obtained by Sptarn Algorithm in Matlab. The results show that the …


Cluster Solver For Dynamical Mean-Field Theory With Linear Scaling In Inverse Temperature, Ehsan Khatami, C. Lee, Z. Bai, R. Scalettar, M. Jarrell May 2010

Cluster Solver For Dynamical Mean-Field Theory With Linear Scaling In Inverse Temperature, Ehsan Khatami, C. Lee, Z. Bai, R. Scalettar, M. Jarrell

Faculty Publications

Dynamical mean-field theory and its cluster extensions provide a very useful approach for examining phase transitions in model Hamiltonians and, in combination with electronic structure theory, constitute powerful methods to treat strongly correlated materials. The key advantage to the technique is that, unlike competing real-space methods, the sign problem is well controlled in the Hirsch-Fye (HF) quantum Monte Carlo used as an exact cluster solver. However, an important computational bottleneck remains; the HF method scales as the cube of the inverse temperature, β. This often makes simulations at low temperatures extremely challenging. We present here a method based on determinant …

Inverse Spectral Results On Even Dimensional Tori, Carolyn Gordon, Pierre Guerini, Thomas Kappeler, David Webb Jan 2008

Inverse Spectral Results On Even Dimensional Tori, Carolyn Gordon, Pierre Guerini, Thomas Kappeler, David Webb

Dartmouth Scholarship

Given a Hermitian line bundle L over a flat torus M, a connection ∇ on L, and a function Q on M, one associates a Schrödinger operator acting on sections of L; its spectrum is denoted Spec(Q;L,∇). Motivated by work of V. Guillemin in dimension two, we consider line bundles over tori of arbitrary even dimension with “translation invariant” connections ∇, and we address the extent to which the spectrum Spec(Q;L,∇) determines the potential Q. With a genericity condition, we show that if the connection is invariant under the isometry of M defined by the map x→-x, then the spectrum …

On Banach Lattice Algebras, Ayşe Uyar Jan 2005

On Banach Lattice Algebras, Ayşe Uyar

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this study, without using the assumption a^{-1} > 0, it is shown that E is lattice - and algebra - isometric isomorphic to the reals R whenever E is a Banach lattice f-algebra with unit e, e = 1, in which for every a > 0 the inverse a^{-1} exists. Subsequently, an alternative proof to a result of Huijsmans is given for Banach lattice algebras.

The Inverse Problem Of The Calculus Of Variations For Scala Fourth Order Ordinary Differential Equations, Mark E. Fels Jan 1996

The Inverse Problem Of The Calculus Of Variations For Scala Fourth Order Ordinary Differential Equations, Mark E. Fels

Mark Eric Fels

A simple invariant characterization of the scalar fourth-order ordinary differential equations which admit a variational multiplier is given. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a multiplier are expressed in terms of the vanishing of two relative invariants which can be associated with any fourth-order equation through the application of Cartan's equivalence method. The solution to the inverse problem for fourth-order scalar equations provides the solution to an equivalence problem for second-order Lagrangians, as well as the precise relationship between the symmetry algebra of a variational equation and the divergence symmetry algebra of the associated Lagrangian.


An Inverse Approach To A Probability Model For Fractured Networks, Stacy G. Vail May 1994

An Inverse Approach To A Probability Model For Fractured Networks, Stacy G. Vail

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A common problem in science and engineering applications deals with finding information about a system where only limited information is known. One example of this problem is determining the geometry of an aquifer or oil reservoir based on well tests taken at the site. The Conditional Coding Method attacks this type of problem. This method uses the Simulated Annealing Algorithm in conjunction with a probability model which generates possible solutions based on a uniform random number list. The Annealing Algorithm generates a conditional probability distribution on all possible solutions generated by the probability model, conditioned on the observed data set. …


Inverse Problem In Porous Medium Using Homogenization, Helen Alkes May 1992

Inverse Problem In Porous Medium Using Homogenization, Helen Alkes

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The problem under consideration is that of obtaining a representation of the permeability of a porous medium which is heterogeneous and anisotropic from limited information. To solve this inverse problem we propose the use of two different pieces that work together. A simulated annealing algorithm is presented and coupled with an homogenization technique; together these solve the problem which was posed. Further, numerical simulation results are presented illustrating the use of the simulated annealing algorithm as well as a coupling with the homoginization technique. This study illustrates that the performance of the annealing algorithm is enhanced with usage of homogenization.
