Controllability And Stabilizability Of Coupled Strings With Control Applied At The Coupled Points, Lop-Fat Ho
Controllability And Stabilizability Of Coupled Strings With Control Applied At The Coupled Points, Lop-Fat Ho
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Controllability and stabilizability of a system of coupled strings with control applied at the coupled points is studied. By investigating the properties of certain exponential series, it is shown that the system is approximate controllable if and only if related systems of uncoupled strings do not share a common eigenvalue. A sufficient condition for exact controllability is also obtained in terms of the Riesz basis properties of those exponential series.
Harmonic-Analysis Of Fractal Measures Induced By Representations Of A Certain C*-Algebra, Palle Jorgensen, Steen Pedersen
Harmonic-Analysis Of Fractal Measures Induced By Representations Of A Certain C*-Algebra, Palle Jorgensen, Steen Pedersen
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
We describe a class of measurable subsets Ω in Rd such that L2(Ω) has an orthogonal basis of frequencies eλ(x) = ei2πλ.x(x ε Ω) indexed by λ ∈ Λ ⊂ Rd. We show that such spectral pairs (Ω, Λ) have a self-similarity which may be used to generate associated fractal measures μ with Cantor set support. The Hilbert space L2(μ) does not have a total set of orthogonal frequencies, but a harmonic analysis of mu may be built instead from a natural representation of the Cuntz …
Approximation Methods For Singular Diffusions Arising In Genetics, Nacer E. Abrouk
Approximation Methods For Singular Diffusions Arising In Genetics, Nacer E. Abrouk
Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)
Stochastic models in population genetics leading to diffusion equations are considered. When the drift and the square of the diffusion coefficients are polynomials, an infinite system of ordinary differential equations for the moments of the diffusion process can be derived using the Martingale property. An example is provided to show how the classical Fokker-Planck Equation approach may not be appropriate for this derivation. A Gauss-Galerkin method for approximating the laws of the diffusion, originally proposed by Dawson (1980), is examined. In the few special cases for which exact solutions are known, comparison shows that the method is accurate and the …
Tracking Plasma Lactate Concentration In Vivo With A Catheter-Tip L-Lactate Sensor, Brett T. Weinzapfel, Mark D. Ball, Lee R. Waite, Nacer E. Abrouk, Shun P. Lim
Tracking Plasma Lactate Concentration In Vivo With A Catheter-Tip L-Lactate Sensor, Brett T. Weinzapfel, Mark D. Ball, Lee R. Waite, Nacer E. Abrouk, Shun P. Lim
Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)
To circumvent the problems of repeated blood sampling for in vitro analysis, a catheter-tip L-lactate sensor has been developed. The sensor was tested in anesthetized pigs (n=6). The sensor in vivo tracked the lactate concentration non-linearly, seeming to obey Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Calibration time was short, typically 1.5 min per lactate standard. Furthermore, time drift was small, typically -1.3% to -3.3% per hour of in vivo use.

Quinlan's ID3 machine learning algorithm induces classification trees (rules) from a set of training examples. The algorithm is extremely effective when training examples are composed of attributes whose values are taken from small discrete domains. The classification accuracy of ID3-produced trees on domains whose attributes are many-valued tends to be marginal due to the large number of possible values which may be associated with each attribute. Attempts to solve this problem by a priori grouping of attribute values into distinct subsets has met with limited success. The dynamic ID3 algorithm improves the performance of ID3 on this type of problem …
The Full Group Of A Countable Measurable Equivalence Relation, Richard Mercer
The Full Group Of A Countable Measurable Equivalence Relation, Richard Mercer
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
We study the group of all ''R-automorphisms'' of a countable equivalence relation R on a standard Borel space, special Borel automorphisms whose graphs lie in R. We show that such a group always contains periodic maps of each order sufficient to generate R. A construction based on these periodic maps leads to totally nonperiodic R-automorphisms all of whose powers have disjoint graphs. The presence of a large number of periodic maps allows us to present a version of the Rohlin Lemma for R-automorphisms. Finally we show that this group always contains copies of free …
Prediction Intervals Based On Partial Observations For Some Discrete Distributions, Lee J. Bain, Jagdish K. Patel
Prediction Intervals Based On Partial Observations For Some Discrete Distributions, Lee J. Bain, Jagdish K. Patel
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Prediction limits of the following type are considered for the binomial, hypergeometric, and negative-binomial distributions. For the binomial distribution, suppose Xr successes have occurred in the first r trials, and based on this partial information it is desired to predict the total number of successes Xs (r < s), which will have occurred by trial s. Similar results are considered for the Poisson and negative-binomial distributions. The results are expressed in terms of well-known distributions which have been tabulated, but it is quite tedious to carry out the procedures based on available tables. Normal (Gaussian) approximations are provided which makes these methods convenient to apply. © 1993 IEEE
Feasibility Test Verification Method For Nonsymmetric Release Time Task Scheduling, R. G. Karl, T. L. Lo, Daniel C. St. Clair
Feasibility Test Verification Method For Nonsymmetric Release Time Task Scheduling, R. G. Karl, T. L. Lo, Daniel C. St. Clair

This paper discusses problems associated with scheduling periodic task on a uniprocessor in a hard, real-time processing environment using a static-priority, preemptive-resume operating system. Task sets containing a single periodic task with two Ned release periocis of unequal length are examined. Ihe nonsymmetric scheduling algorithm is based on the rate monotonic scheduling algorithm which assigns higher task priorities to tasks with shorter release periods. me effects on processor utilization using two dirkrent priority assignment schemes are examined; one with task priorities sorted by the average release periods and the other with priorities sorted using the short nonsymmetric task period with …

Several important metric space fixed point theorems axe proved for a large class of non-metric spaces. In some cases, the metric space proofs need only minor changes. This is surprising since the distance function used need not be symmetric and need not satisfy the triangular inequality. © 1993, Hindawi Publishing Corporation. All rights reserved.
Pseudobases In Direct Powers Of An Algebra, Paul Bankston
Pseudobases In Direct Powers Of An Algebra, Paul Bankston
Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications
A subset P of an abstract algebra A is a pseudobasis if every function from P into A extends uniquely to an endomorphism on A. A is called K-free has a pseudobasis of cardinality K; A is minimally free if A has a pseudobasis. (The 0-free algebras are "rigid" in the strong sense; the 1-free groups are always abelian, and are precisely the additive groups of E-rings.) Our interest here is in the existence of pseudobases in direct powers AI of an algebra A. On the positive side, if A is a rigid …

During the past several years, there has been tremendous progress on the development of the RF system and accelerating structures for a Next Linear Collider (NLC). Developments include high-power klystrons, RF pulse compression systems and damped/detuned accelerator structures to reduce wakefields. In order to integrate these separate development efforts into an actual X-band accelerator capable of accelerating the electron beams necessary for an NLC, we are building an NLC Test Accelerator (NLCTA). The goal of the NLCTA is to bring together all elements of the entire accelerating system by constructing and reliably operating an engineered model of a high-gradient linac …

Special Review: Evaluation Of The Exploratory Factor Analysis Programs Provided In Spssx And Spss/Pc+, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
Given the frequent use of SPSSX and SPSS/PC+ exploratory factor analysis in analyzing multivariate psychometric data, it is germane to examine the limitations of the Factor program as it currently exists. Over recent years, the routines in these packages generally have been developed and expanded considerably. In particular, the exploratory factor analysis procedures have been greatly extended and enhanced with inclusion of additional estimation methods such as minimum likelihood, unweighted least squares, generalized least squares, and so on. Like wise, availability of a Scree plot of the latent roots against factor number has facilitated determination of the appropriate factor-extraction number. …

E. Yanagida recently proved that the classical Matukuma equation with a given exponent has only one finite mass solution. We show how similar ideas can be exploited to obtain uniqueness results for other classes of equations as well as Matukuma equations with more general coefficients.

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
In estimating the reliability of a system of components, it is ordinarily assumed that the component lifetimes are independently distributed. This assumption usually alleviates the difficulty of analyzing complex systems, but it is seldom true that the failure of one component in an interactive system has no effect on the lifetimes of the other components. Often, two or more components will fail simultaneously due to a common cause event. Such an incident is called a common cause failure (CCF), and is now recognized as an important contribution to system failure in various applications of reliability. We examine current methods for …

On Infinite Delay Integral Equations Having Nonlinear Perturbations, Muhammad Islam
Mathematics Faculty Publications
The existence of bounded solutions and periodic solutions is studied for a system of infinite delay integral equations having nonlinear perturbations. An equivalent system of equations is obtained in terms of the resolvent kernel. Then the existence results are shown for the equivalent equations. Contraction principle, Schauder’s fixed point theorem, and monotone method are used in the study.
