On Generalized Hoops, Homomorphic Images Of Residuated Lattices, And (G)Bl-Algebras, Peter Jipsen
On Generalized Hoops, Homomorphic Images Of Residuated Lattices, And (G)Bl-Algebras, Peter Jipsen
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
Right-residuated binars and right-divisible residuated binars are defined as precursors of generalized hoops, followed by some results and open problems about these partially ordered algebras. Next we show that all complete homomorphic images of a complete residuated lattice A can be constructed easily on certain definable subsets of A. Applying these observations to the algebras of Hajek’s basic logic (BL-algebras), we give an effective description of the HS-poset of finite subdirectly irreducible BL-algebras. The lattice of finitely generated BL-varieties can be obtained from this HS-poset by constructing the lattice of downward closed sets. These results are extended to bounded …

A Survey Of Graphs Of Minimum Order With Given Automorphism Group, Jessica Alyse Woodruff
Math Theses
We survey vertex minimal graphs with prescribed automorphism group. Whenever possible, we also investigate the construction of such minimal graphs, confirm minimality, and prove a given graph has the correct automorphism group.
Kolmogorov’S Axioms For Probabilities With Values In Hyperbolic Numbers, Daniel Alpay, M. E. Luna-Elizarrarás, Michael Shapiro
Kolmogorov’S Axioms For Probabilities With Values In Hyperbolic Numbers, Daniel Alpay, M. E. Luna-Elizarrarás, Michael Shapiro
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We introduce the notion of a probabilistic measure which takes values in hyperbolic numbers and which satisfies the system of axioms generalizing directly Kolmogorov’s system of axioms. We show that this new measure verifies the usual properties of a probability; in particular, we treat the conditional hyperbolic probability and we prove the hyperbolic analogues of the multiplication theorem, of the law of total probability and of Bayes’ theorem. Our probability may take values which are zero–divisors and we discuss carefully this peculiarity.
Math And Sudoku: Exploring Sudoku Boards Through Graph Theory, Group Theory, And Combinatorics, Kyle Oddson
Math And Sudoku: Exploring Sudoku Boards Through Graph Theory, Group Theory, And Combinatorics, Kyle Oddson
Student Research Symposium
Encoding Sudoku puzzles as partially colored graphs, we state and prove Akman’s theorem [1] regarding the associated partial chromatic polynomial [5]; we count the 4x4 sudoku boards, in total and fundamentally distinct; we count the diagonally distinct 4x4 sudoku boards; and we classify and enumerate the different structure types of 4x4 boards.

On The Equivalence Of Probability Spaces, Daniel Alpay, Palle Jorgensen, David Levanony
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
For a general class of Gaussian processes W, indexed by a sigma-algebra F of a
general measure space (M,F, _), we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity
of a quadratic variation representation for such Gaussian processes, thus recovering _(A),
for A 2 F, as a quadratic variation of W over A. We further provide a harmonic analysis
representation for this general class of processes. We apply these two results to: (i) a computation
of generalized Ito-integrals; and (ii) a proof of an explicit, and measure-theoretic
equivalence formula, realizing an equivalence between the two approaches to Gaussian processes,
one …
Multiple Problem-Solving Strategies Provide Insight Into Students’ Understanding Of Open-Ended Linear Programming Problems, Marla A. Sole
Multiple Problem-Solving Strategies Provide Insight Into Students’ Understanding Of Open-Ended Linear Programming Problems, Marla A. Sole
Publications and Research
Open-ended questions that can be solved using different strategies help students learn and integrate content, and provide teachers with greater insights into students’ unique capabilities and levels of understanding. This article provides a problem that was modified to allow for multiple approaches. Students tended to employ high-powered, complex, familiar solution strategies rather than simpler, more intuitive strategies, which suggests that students might need more experience working with informal solution methods. During the semester, by incorporating open-ended questions, I gained valuable feedback, was able to better model real-world problems, challenge students with different abilities, and strengthen students’ problem solving skills.
The Diameter Of A Rouquier Block, Andrew Mayer
The Diameter Of A Rouquier Block, Andrew Mayer
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
For my Honors Research Project, I will be researching special properties of Rouquier blocks that represent the partitions of integers. This problem is motivated by ongoing work in representation theory of the symmetric group. For each integer n and each prime p, there is an object called a Rouquier block; this block can be visualized as a collection of points in a plane, each corresponding to a partition. In this group of points, we say a pair of points is “connected” if certain conditions on the partitions are met. We compare each partition with each other partition, add edges when …
Subgroups Of Finite Wreath Product Groups For P=3, Jessica L. Gonda
Subgroups Of Finite Wreath Product Groups For P=3, Jessica L. Gonda
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
Let M be the additive abelian group of 3-by-3 matrices whose entries are from the ring of integers modulo 9. The problem of determining all the normal subgroups of the regular wreath product group P=Z9≀(Z3 × Z3) that are contained in its base subgroup is equivalent to the problem of determining the subgroups of M that are invariant under two particular endomorphisms of M. In this thesis we give a partial solution to the latter problem by implementing a systematic approach using concepts from group theory and linear algebra.
Complements To Classic Topics Of Circles Geometry, Florentin Smarandache, Ion Patrascu
Complements To Classic Topics Of Circles Geometry, Florentin Smarandache, Ion Patrascu
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
We approach several themes of classical geometry of the circle and complete them with some original results, showing that not everything in traditional math is revealed, and that it still has an open character. The topics were chosen according to authors’ aspiration and attraction, as a poet writes lyrics about spring according to his emotions.
Special Type Of Fixed Point Pairs Using Mod Rectangular Matrix Operators, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy, K. Ilanthenral
Special Type Of Fixed Point Pairs Using Mod Rectangular Matrix Operators, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy, K. Ilanthenral
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book authors for the first time define a special type of fixed points using MOD rectangular matrices as operators. In this case the special fixed points or limit cycles are pairs which is arrived after a finite number of iterations. Such study is both new and innovative for it can find lots of applications in mathematical modeling. Since all these Zn or I nZ or 〈Zn ∪ g〉 or 〈Zn ∪ g〉I or C(Zn) or CI(Zn) are all of finite order we are sure to arrive at a MOD fixed point pair or a MOD limit cycle pair …
Strong Neutrosophic Graphs And Subgraph Topological Subspaces, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy, Ilantheral K
Strong Neutrosophic Graphs And Subgraph Topological Subspaces, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy, Ilantheral K
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book authors for the first time introduce the notion of strong neutrosophic graphs. They are very different from the usual graphs and neutrosophic graphs. Using these new structures special subgraph topological spaces are defined. Further special lattice graph of subgraphs of these graphs are defined and described. Several interesting properties using subgraphs of a strong neutrosophic graph are obtained. Several open conjectures are proposed. These new class of strong neutrosophic graphs will certainly find applications in NCMs, NRMs and NREs with appropriate modifications.

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book authors for the first time give several types of problems on MOD structures happens to be an interesting field of study as it makes the whole 4 quadrant plane into a single quadrant plane and the infinite line into a half closed open interval. So study in this direction will certainly yield several interesting results. The law of distributivity is not true. Further the MOD function in general do not obey all the laws of integration or differentiation. Likewise MOD polynomials in general do not satisfy the basic properties of polynomials like its roots etc. Thus over …

The Automorphism Group Of The Halved Cube, Benjamin B. Mackinnon
The Automorphism Group Of The Halved Cube, Benjamin B. Mackinnon
Theses and Dissertations
An n-dimensional halved cube is a graph whose vertices are the binary strings of length n, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if they differ in exactly two positions. It can be regarded as the graph whose vertex set is one partite set of the n-dimensional hypercube, with an edge joining vertices at hamming distance two. In this thesis we compute the automorphism groups of the halved cubes by embedding them in R n and realizing the automorphism group as a subgroup of GLn(R). As an application we show that a halved cube is a circulant graph if …
Tool Support For Reasoning In Display Calculi, Samuel Balco, Sabine Frittella, Giuseppe Greco, Alexander Kurz, Alessandra Palmigiano
Tool Support For Reasoning In Display Calculi, Samuel Balco, Sabine Frittella, Giuseppe Greco, Alexander Kurz, Alessandra Palmigiano
Engineering Faculty Articles and Research
We present a tool for reasoning in and about propositional sequent calculi. One aim is to support reasoning in calculi that contain a hundred rules or more, so that even relatively small pen and paper derivations become tedious and error prone. As an example, we implement the display calculus D.EAK of dynamic epistemic logic. Second, we provide embeddings of the calculus in the theorem prover Isabelle for formalising proofs about D.EAK. As a case study we show that the solution of the muddy children puzzle is derivable for any number of muddy children. Third, there is a set of meta-tools, …
Multi-Type Display Calculus For Dynamic Epistemic Logic, Sabine Frittella, Giuseppe Greco, Alexander Kurz, Alessandra Palmigiano, Vlasta Sikimić
Multi-Type Display Calculus For Dynamic Epistemic Logic, Sabine Frittella, Giuseppe Greco, Alexander Kurz, Alessandra Palmigiano, Vlasta Sikimić
Engineering Faculty Articles and Research
In the present paper, we introduce a multi-type display calculus for dynamic epistemic logic, which we refer to as Dynamic Calculus. The displayapproach is suitable to modularly chart the space of dynamic epistemic logics on weaker-than-classical propositional base. The presence of types endows the language of the Dynamic Calculus with additional expressivity, allows for a smooth proof-theoretic treatment, and paves the way towards a general methodology for the design of proof systems for the generality of dynamic logics, and certainly beyond dynamic epistemic logic. We prove that the Dynamic Calculus adequately captures Baltag-Moss-Solecki’s dynamic epistemic logic, and enjoys Belnap-style cut …

We introduce a multi-type display calculus for Propositional Dynamic Logic (PDL). This calculus is complete w.r.t. PDL, and enjoys Belnap-style cut-elimination and subformula property.
The Spectral Theorem For Quaternionic Unbounded Normal Operators Based On The S-Spectrum, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, David P. Kimsey
The Spectral Theorem For Quaternionic Unbounded Normal Operators Based On The S-Spectrum, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, David P. Kimsey
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
In this paper we prove the spectral theorem for quaternionic unbounded normal operators using the notion of S-spectrum. The proof technique consists of first establishing a spectral theorem for quaternionic bounded normal operators and then using a transformation which maps a quaternionic unbounded normal operator to a quaternionic bounded normal operator. With this paper we complete the foundation of spectral analysis of quaternionic operators. The S-spectrum has been introduced to define the quaternionic functional calculus but it turns out to be the correct object also for the spectral theorem for quaternionic normal operators. The fact that the correct notion of …
Characterizations Of Rectangular (Para)-Unitary Rational Functions, Daniel Alpay, Palle Jorgensen, Izchak Lewkowicz
Characterizations Of Rectangular (Para)-Unitary Rational Functions, Daniel Alpay, Palle Jorgensen, Izchak Lewkowicz
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We here present three characterizations of not necessarily causal, rational functions which are (co)-isometric on the unit circle:
(i) through the realization matrix of Schur stable systems,
(ii) the Blaschke-Potapov product, which is then employed to introduce an easy-to-use description of all these functions with dimensions and McMillan degree as parameters,
(iii) through the (not necessarily reducible) Matrix Fraction Description (MFD).
In cases (ii) and (iii) the poles of the rational functions involved may be anywhere in the complex plane, but the unit circle (including both zero and infinity). A special attention is devoted to exploring the gap between the …
The H∞ Functional Calculus Based On The S-Spectrum For Quaternionic Operators And For N-Tuples Of Noncommuting Operators, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, Tao Qian, Irene Sabadini, Tao Qian
The H∞ Functional Calculus Based On The S-Spectrum For Quaternionic Operators And For N-Tuples Of Noncommuting Operators, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, Tao Qian, Irene Sabadini, Tao Qian
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
In this paper we extend the H∞ functional calculus to quaternionic operators and to n-tuples of noncommuting operators using the theory of slice hyperholomorphic functions and the associated functional calculus, called S-functional calculus. The S-functional calculus has two versions one for quaternionic-valued functions and one for Clifford algebra-valued functions and can be considered the Riesz-Dunford functional calculus based on slice hyperholomorphicity because it shares with it the most important properties.
The S-functional calculus is based on the notion of S-spectrum which, in the case of quaternionic normal operators on a Hilbert space, is also the notion of spectrum that appears …

Wiener Algebra For The Quaternions, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, David P. Kimsey, Irene Sabadini
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We define and study the counterpart of the Wiener algebra in the quaternionic setting, both for the discrete and continuous case. We prove a Wiener-Lévy type theorem and a factorization theorem. We give applications to Toeplitz and Wiener-Hopf operators.
The Spectral Theorem For Unitary Operators Based On The S-Spectrum, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, David P. Kimsey, Irene Sabadini
The Spectral Theorem For Unitary Operators Based On The S-Spectrum, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, David P. Kimsey, Irene Sabadini
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
The quaternionic spectral theorem has already been considered in the literature, see e.g. [22], [31], [32], however, except for the finite dimensional case in which the notion of spectrum is associated to an eigenvalue problem, see [21], it is not specified which notion of spectrum underlies the theorem.
In this paper we prove the quaternionic spectral theorem for unitary operators using the S-spectrum. In the case of quaternionic matrices, the S-spectrum coincides with the right-spectrum and so our result recovers the well known theorem for matrices. The notion of S-spectrum is relatively new, see [17], and has been used for …

A New Realization Of Rational Functions, With Applications To Linear Combination Interpolation, Daniel Alpay, Palle Jorgensen, Izchak Lewkowicz, Dan Volok
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We introduce the following linear combination interpolation problem (LCI): Given N distinct numbers w1,…wN and N+1 complex numbers a1,…,aN and c, find all functions f(z) analytic in a simply connected set (depending on f) containing the points w1,…,wN such that ∑u=1Nauf(wu)=c. To this end we prove a representation theorem for such functions f in terms of an associated polynomial p(z). We first introduce the following two operations, (i) substitution of p, and (ii) multiplication by monomials zj,0≤j
