A Spectral Order For Infinite Dimensional Quantum Spaces: A Preliminary Report, Joe Mashburn Apr 2007

A Spectral Order For Infinite Dimensional Quantum Spaces: A Preliminary Report, Joe Mashburn

Mathematics Faculty Publications

In 2002 Coecke and Martin created a Bayesian order for the finite dimensional spaces of classical states in physics and used this to define a similar order, the spectral order on the finite dimensional quantum states. These orders gave the spaces a structure similar to that of a domain. This allows for measuring information content of states and for determining which partial states are approximations of which pure states. In a previous paper the author extended the Bayesian order to infinite dimensional spaces of classical states. The order on infinite dimensional spaces retains many of the characteristics important to physics, …


A Transform Method In Discrete Fractional Calculus, Ferhan M. Atici, Paul W. Eloe Jan 2007

A Transform Method In Discrete Fractional Calculus, Ferhan M. Atici, Paul W. Eloe

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We begin with an introduction to a calculus of fractional finite differences. We extend the discrete Laplace transform to develop a discrete transform method. We define a family of finite fractional difference equations and employ the transform method to obtain solutions.


Garden-Variety Symmetry (Abstract), Colleen Hoover Jan 2007

Garden-Variety Symmetry (Abstract), Colleen Hoover

Undergraduate Mathematics Day

After a gentle introduction to the topic of symmetry, we will explore the symmetry groups of bounded plane figures, pulling examples from the garden.

A Comparison Of Three Topologies On Ordered Sets, Joe Mashburn Jan 2007

A Comparison Of Three Topologies On Ordered Sets, Joe Mashburn

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We introduce two new topologies on ordered sets: the way below topology and weakly way below topology. These are similar in definition to the Scott topology, but are very different if the set is not continuous. The basic properties of these three topologies are compared. We will show that while domain representable spaces must be Baire, this is not the case with the new topologies.
