A Structural Result Of Irreducible Inclusions Of Type Iii Lambda Factors, Lambda Is An Element Of (0,1), Phan Loi

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Given an irreducible inclusion of factors with finite index NM, where M is of type IIIλ1/m, N of type IIIλ1/n, 0 < λ < 1, and m,n are relatively prime positive integers, we will prove that if NM satisfies a commuting square condition, then its structure can be characterized by using fixed point algebras and crossed products of automorphisms acting on the middle inclusion of factors associated with NM. Relations between NM and a certain G-kernel on subfactors are also discussed.

Evolution Of Mixed-State Regions In Type-Ii Superconductors, Chaocheng Huang, Tom Svobodny

A mean-field model for dynamics of superconducting vortices is studied. The model, consisting of an elliptic equation coupled with a hyperbolic equation with discontinuous initial data, is formulated as a system of nonlocal integrodifferential equations. We show that there exists a unique classical solution in C1+α0) for all t > Ω, where Ω0 is the initial vortex region that is assumed to be in C1+α. Consequently, for any time t, the vortex region Ωt is of C1+α, and the vorticity is in Cαt).

Games To Teach Mathematical Modelling, James A. Powell, Jim S. Cangelosi, Ann M. Harris

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

We discuss the use of in-class games to create realistic situations for mathematical modelling. Two games are presented which are appropriate for use in post-calculus settings. The first game reproduces predator-prey oscillations and the second game simulates disease propagation in a mixing population. When used creatively these games encourage students to model realistic data and apply mathematical concepts to understanding the data.


Orthogonal Harmonic Analysis Of Fractal Measures, Palle Jorgensen, Steen Pedersen Jan 1998

Orthogonal Harmonic Analysis Of Fractal Measures, Palle Jorgensen, Steen Pedersen

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

We show that certain iteration systems lead to fractal measures admitting an exact orthogonal harmonic analysis.
