Estimation And The Stress-Strength Model, Naomi Brownstein
Estimation And The Stress-Strength Model, Naomi Brownstein
HIM 1990-2015
The paper considers statistical inference for R = P(X < Y) in the case when both X and Y have generalized gamma distributions. The maximum likelihood estimators for R are developed in the case when either all three parameters of the generalized gamma distributions are unknown or when the shape parameters are known. In addition, objective Bayes estimators based on non informative priors are constructed when the shape parameters are known. Finally, the uniform minimum variance unbiased estimators (UMVUE) are derived in the case when only the scale parameters are unknown.
A Mathematical Study Of Two Retroviruses, Hiv And Htlv-I, Dana Ali Baxley
A Mathematical Study Of Two Retroviruses, Hiv And Htlv-I, Dana Ali Baxley
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this thesis, we examine epidemiological models of two different retroviruses, which infect the human body. The two viruses under study are HIV or the human immunodefiency virus and HTLV-I, which is the human T lymphotropic virus type I. A retrovirus is a virus, which injects its RNA into the host, rather than it's DNA. We will study each of the different mathematical models for each of the viruses separately. Then we use MATLAB-SIMULINK to analyze the models by studying the reproductive numbers in each case and the disease progression by examining the graphs. In Chapter 1, we mention basic …
Effect Of Inner Scale Atmospheric Spectrum Models On Scintillation In All Optical Turbulence Regimes, Kenneth Mayer
Effect Of Inner Scale Atmospheric Spectrum Models On Scintillation In All Optical Turbulence Regimes, Kenneth Mayer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Experimental studies have shown that a "bump" occurs in the atmospheric spectrum just prior to turbulence cell dissipation.1,3,4 In weak optical turbulence, this bump affects calculated scintillation. The purpose of this thesis was to determine if a "non-bump" atmospheric power spectrum can be used to model scintillation for plane waves and spherical waves in moderate to strong optical turbulence regimes. Scintillation expressions were developed from an "effective" von Karman spectrum using an approach similar to that used by Andrews et al.8,14,15 in developing expressions from an "effective" modified (bump) spectrum. The effective spectrum extends the Rytov approximation into all optical …
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 …
An Examination Of The Effectiveness Of The Adomian Decomposition Method In Fluid Dynamic Applications, Sonia Holmquist
An Examination Of The Effectiveness Of The Adomian Decomposition Method In Fluid Dynamic Applications, Sonia Holmquist
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Since its introduction in the 1980's, the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) has proven to be an efficient and reliable method for solving many types of problems. Originally developed to solve nonlinear functional equations, the ADM has since been used for a wide range of equation types (like boundary value problems, integral equations, equations arising in flow of incompressible and compressible fluids etc...). This work is devoted to an evaluation of the effectiveness of this method when used for fluid dynamic applications. In particular, the ADM has been applied to the Blasius equation, the Falkner-Skan equation, and the Orr-Sommerfeld equation. This …
Efficient Inversion Of The Cone Beam Transform For A General Class Of Curves, Mikhail Kapralov
Efficient Inversion Of The Cone Beam Transform For A General Class Of Curves, Mikhail Kapralov
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
We extend an efficient cone beam transform inversion formula, proposed earlier for helices, to a general class of curves. The conditions that describe the class are very natural. Curves C are smooth, without self-intersections, have positive curvature and torsion, do not bend too much in a certain sense, and do not admit lines which are tangent to C at one point and intersect C at another point. A domain U is found where reconstruction is possible with a filtered backprojection type algorithm. Results of numerical experiments demonstrate very good image quality. The algorithm developed is useful for image reconstruction in …
Pade Approximants And One Of Its Applications, Tame-Kouontcho Fowe
Pade Approximants And One Of Its Applications, Tame-Kouontcho Fowe
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is concerned with a brief summary of the theory of Pade approximants and one of its applications to Finance. Proofs of most of the theorems are omitted and many developments could not be mentioned due to the vastness of the field of Pade approximations. We provide reference to research papers and books that contain exhaustive treatment of the subject. This thesis is mainly divided into two parts. In the first part we derive a general expression of the Pade approximants and some of the results that will be related to the work on the second part of the …
Stability And Preservation Properties Of Multisymplectic Integrators, Tomasz Wlodarczyk
Stability And Preservation Properties Of Multisymplectic Integrators, Tomasz Wlodarczyk
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation presents results of the study on symplectic and multisymplectic numerical methods for solving linear and nonlinear Hamiltonian wave equations. The emphasis is put on the second order space and time discretizations of the linear wave, the Klein-Gordon and the sine-Gordon equations. For those equations we develop two multisymplectic (MS) integrators and compare their performance to other popular symplectic and non-symplectic numerical methods. Tools used in the linear analysis are related to the Fourier transform and consist of the dispersion relationship and the power spectrum of the numerical solution. Nonlinear analysis, in turn, is closely connected to the temporal …
Categorical Properties Of Lattice-Valued Convergence Spaces, Paul Flores
Categorical Properties Of Lattice-Valued Convergence Spaces, Paul Flores
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This work can be roughly divided into two parts. Initially, it may be considered a continuation of the very interesting research on the topic of Lattice-Valued Convergence Spaces given by Jager [2001, 2005]. The alternate axioms presented here seem to lead to theorems having proofs more closely related to standard arguments used in Convergence Space theory when the Lattice is L = f0; 1g:Various Subcategories are investigated. One such subconstruct is shown to be isomorphic to the category of Lattice Valued Fuzzy Convergence Spaces defined and studied by Jager [2001]. Our principal category is shown to be a topological universe …
Impulse Formulations Of The Euler Equations For Incompressible And Compressible Fluids, Victor David Pareja
Impulse Formulations Of The Euler Equations For Incompressible And Compressible Fluids, Victor David Pareja
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this paper is to consider the impulse formulations of the Euler equations for incompressible and compressible fluids. Different gauges are considered. In particular, the Kuz'min gauge provides an interesting case as it allows the fluid impulse velocity to describe the evolution of material surface elements. This result affords interesting physical interpretations of the Kuz'min invariant. Some exact solutions in the impulse formulation are studied. Finally, generalizations to compressible fluids are considered as an extension of these results. The arrangement of the paper is as follows: in the first chapter we will give a brief explanation on the …
Dissipative Solitons In The Cubic-Quintic Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation:Bifurcations And Spatiotemporal Structure, Ciprian Mancas
Dissipative Solitons In The Cubic-Quintic Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation:Bifurcations And Spatiotemporal Structure, Ciprian Mancas
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Comprehensive numerical simulations (reviewed in Dissipative Solitons, Akhmediev and Ankiewicz (Eds.), Springer, Berlin, 2005) of pulse solutions of the cubic--quintic Ginzburg--Landau equation (CGLE), a canonical equation governing the weakly nonlinear behavior of dissipative systems in a wide variety of disciplines, reveal various intriguing and entirely novel classes of solutions. In particular, there are five new classes of pulse or solitary waves solutions, viz. pulsating, creeping, snake, erupting, and chaotic solitons. In contrast to the regular solitary waves investigated in numerous integrable and non--integrable systems over the last three decades, these dissipative solitons are not stationary in time. Rather, they are …
