Geometry Of Control-Affine Systems, Jeanne N. Clelland, Christopher G. Moseley, George R. Wilkens
Geometry Of Control-Affine Systems, Jeanne N. Clelland, Christopher G. Moseley, George R. Wilkens
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
Motivated by control-affine systems in optimal control theory, we introduce the notion of a point-affine distribution on a manifold X - i.e., an affine distribution F together with a distinguished vector field contained in F. We compute local invariants for point-affine distributions of constant type when dim(X) = n, rank(F) = n - 1, and when dim(X) = 3, rank(F) = 1. Unlike linear distributions, which are characterized by integer- valued invariants - namely, the rank and growth vector - when dim(X) ≤ 4, we find local invariants depending on arbitrary functions even for rank 1 point-affine distributions on manifolds …

Fan Cohomology And Equivariant Chow Rings Of Toric Varieties, Mu-Wan Huang
Fan Cohomology And Equivariant Chow Rings Of Toric Varieties, Mu-Wan Huang
Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Toric varieties are varieties equipped with a torus action and constructed from cones and fans. In the joint work with Suanne Au and Mark E. Walker, we prove that the equivariant K-theory of an affine toric variety constructed from a cone can be identified with a group ring determined by the cone. When a toric variety X(Δ) is smooth, we interpret equivariant K-groups as presheaves on the associated fan space Δ. Relating the sheaf cohomology groups to equivariant K-groups via a spectral sequence, we provide another proof of a theorem of Vezzosi and Vistoli: equivariant K …
Fan Cohomology And Its Application To Equivariant K-Theory Of Toric Varieties, Suanne Au
Fan Cohomology And Its Application To Equivariant K-Theory Of Toric Varieties, Suanne Au
Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Mu-Wan Huang, Mark Walker and I established an explicit formula for the equivariant K-groups of affine toric varieties. We also recovered a result due to Vezzosi and Vistoli, which expresses the equivariant K-groups of a smooth toric variety in terms of the K-groups of its maximal open affine toric subvarieties. This dissertation investigates the situation when the toric variety X is neither affine nor smooth. In many cases, we compute the Čech cohomology groups of the presheaf KqT on X endowed with a topology. Using these calculations and Walker's Localization Theorem for equivariant K-theory, we give explicit formulas …
An Adaptive Method For Calculating Blow-Up Solutions, Charles F. Touron
An Adaptive Method For Calculating Blow-Up Solutions, Charles F. Touron
Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations
Reactive-diffusive systems modeling physical phenomena in certain situations develop a singularity at a finite value of the independent variable referred to as "blow-up." The attempt to find the blow-up time analytically is most often impossible, thus requiring a numerical determination of the value. The numerical methods often use a priori knowledge of the blow-up solution such as monotonicity or self-similarity. For equations where such a priori knowledge is unavailable, ad hoc methods were constructed. The object of this research is to develop a simple and consistent approach to find numerically the blow-up solution without having a priori knowledge or resorting …
Circular Nonlinear Subdivision Schemes For Curve Design, Jian-Ao Lian, Yonghui Wang, Yonggao Yang
Circular Nonlinear Subdivision Schemes For Curve Design, Jian-Ao Lian, Yonghui Wang, Yonggao Yang
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
Two new families of nonlinear 3-point subdivision schemes for curve design are introduced. The first family is ternary interpolatory and the second family is binary approximation. All these new schemes are circular-invariant, meaning that new vertices are generated from local circles formed by three consecutive old vertices. As consequences of the nonlinear schemes, two new families of linear subdivision schemes for curve design are established. The 3-point linear binary schemes, which are corner-cutting depending on the choices of the tension parameter, are natural extensions of the Lane-Riesenfeld schemes. The four families of both nonlinear and linear subdivision schemes are implemented …

The Effects Of The Use Of Technology In Mathematics Instruction On Student Achievement, Ron Y. Myers
The Effects Of The Use Of Technology In Mathematics Instruction On Student Achievement, Ron Y. Myers
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the use of technology on students’ mathematics achievement, particularly the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) mathematics results. Eleven schools within the Miami-Dade County Public School System participated in a pilot program on the use of Geometers Sketchpad (GSP). Three of these schools were randomly selected for this study. Each school sent a teacher to a summer in-service training program on how to use GSP to teach geometry. In each school, the GSP class and a traditional geometry class taught by the same teacher were the study participants. Students’ mathematics …
On The Number Of K-Gons In Finite Projective Planes, Felix Lazebnik, Keith Mellinger, Oscar Vega
On The Number Of K-Gons In Finite Projective Planes, Felix Lazebnik, Keith Mellinger, Oscar Vega
Mathematics
Let π = πq denote a finite projective plane of order q, and let G = Levi(π) be the bipartite point-line incidence graph of π. For k ≥ 3, let c2k(π) denote the number of cycles of length 2k in G. Are the numbers c2k(π) the same for all πq? We prove that this is the case for k = 3, 4, 5, 6 by computing these numbers.

Geometric Theorem Proving Using The Groebner Basis Algorithm, Karla Friné Rivas
Geometric Theorem Proving Using The Groebner Basis Algorithm, Karla Friné Rivas
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose fo this project is to study ideals in polynomial rings and affine varieties in order to establish a connection between these two different concepts. Doing so will lead to an in depth examination of Groebner bases. Once this has been defined, step will be outlined that will enable the application of the Groebner Basis Algorithm to geometric problems.

On A Symmetric Presentation Of The Double Cover Of M₂₂: 2, Gabriela Laura Maerean
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this project is to construct finite homomorphic images of infinite semi-direct products. We will construct two finite homomorphic images, L₂ (8) and PGL₂ (9) of the infinite semi-direct product 2*³ : S₃. The main part of this project is to construct the double cover 2 - M₂₂ : 2 and the automorphism group M₂₂ : 2 of the Matheiu sporadic group M₂₂ as a homomorphic image of the progenitor 2*⁷ : L₃ (2).

Groups As Graphs, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Groups As Graphs, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
Through this book, for the first time we represent every finite group in the form of a graph. The authors choose to call these graphs as identity graph, since the main role in obtaining the graph is played by the identity element of the group. This study is innovative because through this description one can immediately look at the graph and say the number of elements in the group G which are self-inversed. Also study of different properties like the subgroups of a group, normal subgroups of a group, p-sylow subgroups of a group and conjugate elements of a group …
