The Stabilizing Effect Of Noise On The Dynamics Of A Boolean Network, Christopher S. Goodrich, Mihaela Teodora Matache
The Stabilizing Effect Of Noise On The Dynamics Of A Boolean Network, Christopher S. Goodrich, Mihaela Teodora Matache
Mathematics Faculty Publications
In this paper, we explore both numerically and analytically the robustness of a synchronous Boolean network governed by rule 126 of cellular automata. In particular, we explore whether or not the introduction of noise into the system has any discernable effect on the evolution of the system. This noise is introduced by changing the states of a given number of nodes in the system according to certain rules. New mathematical models are developed for this purpose. We use MATLAB to run the numerical simulations including iterations of the real system and the model, computation of Lyapunov exponents, and generation of …

Context The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) requires there to be: ‘…comparable educational experiences and equivalent methods of evaluation across all alternative instructional sites within a given discipline’. It is an LCME accreditation requirement that students encounter similar numbers of patients with similar diagnoses. However, previous empirical studies have not shown a correlation between the numbers of patients seen by students and performance on multiple-choice examinations.
Objective This study examined whether student exposure to patients with specific diagnoses predicts performance on multiple-choice examination questions pertaining to those diagnoses.
Methods The Department of Pediatrics at the University of Nebraska Medical …

Dynamics Of Asynchronous Random Boolean Networks With Asynchrony Generated By Stochastic Processes, Xutao Deng, Huimin Geng, Mihaela Teodora Matache
Mathematics Faculty Publications
An asynchronous Boolean network with N nodes whose states at each time point are determined by certain parent nodes is considered. We make use of the models developed by Matache and Heidel [Matache, M.T., Heidel, J., 2005. Asynchronous random Boolean network model based on elementary cellular automata rule 126. Phys. Rev. E 71, 026232] for a constant number of parents, and Matache [Matache, M.T., 2006. Asynchronous random Boolean network model with variable number of parents based on elementary cellular automata rule 126. IJMPB 20 (8), 897–923] for a varying number of parents. In both these papers the authors consider an …

S-Toeplitz Composition Operators, Valentin Matache
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Operators on function spaces acting by composition to the right with a fixed selfmap φ of some set are called composition operators of symbol φ.

Distances Between Composition Operators, Valentin Matache
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Composition operators Cϕ induced by a selfmap ϕ of some set S are operators acting on a space consisting of functions on S by composition to the right with ϕ, that is Cϕf = f ◦ ϕ. In this paper, we consider the Hilbert Hardy space H2 on the open unit disk and find exact formulas for distances kCϕ − Cψk between composition operators. The selfmaps ϕ and ψ involved in those formulas are constant, inner, or analytic selfmaps of the unit disk fixing the origin.
