Homogenization In Perforated Domains And With Soft Inclusions, Brandon C. Russell Apr 2018

Homogenization In Perforated Domains And With Soft Inclusions, Brandon C. Russell

Brandon Russell

In this dissertation, we first provide a short introduction to qualitative homogenization of elliptic equations and systems. We collect relevant and known results regarding elliptic equations and systems with rapidly oscillating, periodic coefficients, which is the classical setting in homogenization of elliptic equations and systems. We extend several classical results to the so-called case of perforated domains and consider materials reinforced with soft inclusions. We establish quantitative H^1-convergence rates in both settings, and as a result deduce large-scale Lipschitz estimates and Liouville-type estimates for solutions to elliptic systems with rapidly oscillating, periodic, bounded, and measurable coefficients. Finally, we connect these …

Fibonacci Sequence And Orderliness As Observed In The Creations Of Allah, Mohd Rezuan Masran Mr. Jan 2014

Fibonacci Sequence And Orderliness As Observed In The Creations Of Allah, Mohd Rezuan Masran Mr.

Mr. Mohd Rezuan Masran

There are numerous verses in the Quran that encourage Muslims to observe the many creations of Allah. This article is an exploratory discuss ion on the observation of a sequence of numbers known as the Fibonacci sequence (also known as the Fibonacci numbers ) which can be observed in the creations of Allah. The history of Fibonacci sequence dated back to 1202 in the magnum opus of the Italian mathematician, Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci, entitled Liber Abaci ( Book of Calculation ). This article discusses verses in the Quran that encourage us to observe Allah’s creations. T here are many occurrences …


The Sen Limit, Adrian Clingher, Ron Donagi, Martijn Wijnholt Dec 2013

The Sen Limit, Adrian Clingher, Ron Donagi, Martijn Wijnholt

Adrian Clingher

F -theory compactifications on elliptic Calabi-Yau manifolds may be related to IIb compactifications by taking a certain limit in complex structure moduli space, introduced by A. Sen. The limit has been characterized on the basis of SL(2,Z) monodromies of the elliptic fibration. Instead, we introduce a stable version of the Sen limit. In this picture the elliptic Calabi-Yau splits into two pieces, a P1-bundle and a conic bundle, and the intersection yields the IIb space-time.We get a precise match between F-theory and perturbative type IIb. The correspondence is holographic, in the sense that physical quantities seemingly spread in the bulk …

Early Investigations In Conformal And Differential Geometry, Raymond T. Walter Apr 2013

Early Investigations In Conformal And Differential Geometry, Raymond T. Walter

Raymond Walter

The present [undergraduate] honors thesis seeks to introduce fundamental notions of conformal and differ- ential geometry, especially when such notions are useful in various mathematical physics applications. Its primary achievement is a nontraditional proof of the classic result of Liouville that the only conformal transformations in Euclidean space of dimension greater than three are Möbius transformations. The proof is nontraditional in the sense that it is based on a representation of Möbius transformations using 2x2 matrices of Clifford numbers as well as the standard Dirac operator on Euclidean space. Clifford algebras and the Dirac operator are important in other important …

A Cauchy Problem For Some Local Fractional Abstract Differential Equation With Fractal Conditions, Yang Xiaojun, Zhong Weiping, Gao Feng Jan 2013

A Cauchy Problem For Some Local Fractional Abstract Differential Equation With Fractal Conditions, Yang Xiaojun, Zhong Weiping, Gao Feng

Xiao-Jun Yang

Fractional calculus is an important method for mathematics and engineering [1-24]. In this paper, we review the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the local fractional differential equation with fractal conditions \[ D^\alpha x\left( t \right)=f\left( {t,x\left( t \right)} \right),t\in \left[ {0,T} \right], x\left( {t_0 } \right)=x_0 , \] where $0<\alpha \le 1$ in a generalized Banach space. We use some new tools from Local Fractional Functional Analysis [25, 26] to obtain the results.


When A Mechanical Model Goes Nonlinear, Lisa D. Humphreys, P. J. Mckenna Apr 2012

When A Mechanical Model Goes Nonlinear, Lisa D. Humphreys, P. J. Mckenna

Lisa D Humphreys

This paper had its origin in a curious discovery by the first author in research performed with an undergraduate student. The following odd fact was noticed: when a mechanical model of a suspension bridge (linear near equilibrium but allowed to slacken at large distance in one direction) is shaken with a low-frequency periodic force, several different periodic responses can result, many with high-frequency components.
