The Battle Against Malaria: A Teachable Moment, 2017 Schoolcraft College

#### The Battle Against Malaria: A Teachable Moment, Randy K. Schwartz

##### Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

Malaria has been humanity’s worst public health problem throughout recorded history. Mathematical methods are needed to understand which factors are relevant to the disease and to develop counter-measures against it. This article and the accompanying exercises provide examples of those methods for use in lower- or upper-level courses dealing with probability, statistics, or population modeling. These can be used to illustrate such concepts as correlation, causation, conditional probability, and independence. The article explains how the apparent link between sickle cell trait and resistance to malaria was first verified in Uganda using the chi-squared probability distribution. It goes on to ...

Data Predictive Control For Building Energy Management, 2017 University of Pennsylvania

#### Data Predictive Control For Building Energy Management, Achin Jain, Madhur Behl, Rahul Mangharam

##### Real-Time and Embedded Systems Lab (mLAB)

Decisions on how to best optimize energy systems operations are becoming ever so complex and conflicting, that model-based predictive control (MPC) algorithms must play an important role. However, a key factor prohibiting the widespread adoption of MPC in buildings, is the cost, time, and effort associated with learning first-principles based dynamical models of the underlying physical system. This paper introduces an alternative approach for implementing finite-time receding horizon control using control-oriented data-driven models. We call this approach Data Predictive Control (DPC). Specifically, by utilizing separation of variables, two novel algorithms for implementing DPC using a single regression tree and with ...

#### Orbital Stability Results For Soliton Solutions To Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations With External Potentials, Joseph B. Lindgren

##### Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics

For certain nonlinear Schroedinger equations there exist solutions which are called solitary waves. Addition of a potential $V$ changes the dynamics, but for small enough $||V||_{L^\infty}$ we can still obtain stability (and approximately Newtonian motion of the solitary wave's center of mass) for soliton-like solutions up to a finite time that depends on the size and scale of the potential $V$. Our method is an adaptation of the well-known Lyapunov method.

For the sake of completeness, we also prove long-time stability of traveling solitons in the case $V=0$.

Dynamic Testing Of Wholesale Power Market Designs: An Open-Source Agent-Based Framework, 2016 Iowa State University

#### Dynamic Testing Of Wholesale Power Market Designs: An Open-Source Agent-Based Framework, Junjie Sun, Leigh Tesfatsion

##### Leigh Tesfatsion

In April 2003 the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission proposed a complicated market design – the Wholesale Power Market Platform (WPMP) – for common adoption by all U.S. wholesale power markets. Versions of the WPMP have been implemented in New England, New York, the mid-Atlantic states, the Midwest, the Southwest, and California. Strong opposition to the WPMP persists among some industry stakeholders, however, due largely to a perceived lack of adequate performance testing. This study reports on the model development and open-source implementation (in Java) of a computational wholesale power market organized in accordance with core WPMP features and operating ...

#### The Fourth Movement Of György Ligeti's Piano Concerto: Investigating The Musical-Mathematical Connection, Cynthia L. Wong

##### All Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This interdisciplinary study explores musical-mathematical analogies in the fourth movement of Ligeti’s Piano Concerto. Its aim is to connect musical analysis with the piece’s mathematical inspiration. For this purpose, the dissertation is divided into two sections. Part I (Chapters 1-2) provides musical and mathematical context, including an explanation of ideas related to Ligeti’s mathematical inspiration. Part II (Chapters 3-5) delves into an analysis of the rhythm, form, melody / motive, and harmony. Appendix A is a reduced score of the entire movement, labeled according to my analysis.

Anthrax Models Involving Immunology, Epidemiology And Controls, 2016 University of Tennessee, Knoxville

#### Anthrax Models Involving Immunology, Epidemiology And Controls, Buddhi Raj Pantha

##### Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation is divided in two parts. Chapters 2 and 3 consider the use of optimal control theory in an anthrax epidemiological model. Models consisting system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential differential equations (PDEs) are considered to describe the dynamics of infection spread. Two controls, vaccination and disposal of infected carcasses, are considered and their optimal management strategies are investigated. Chapter 4 consists modeling early host pathogen interaction in an inhalational anthrax infection which consists a system of ODEs that describes early dynamics of bacteria-phagocytic cell interaction associated to an inhalational anthrax infection.

First we consider a ...

Open And Dense Topological Transitivity Of Extensions By Non-Compact Fiber Of Hyperbolic Systems: A Review, 2016 West Chester University of Pennsylvania

#### Open And Dense Topological Transitivity Of Extensions By Non-Compact Fiber Of Hyperbolic Systems: A Review, Viorel Nitica, Andrei Török

##### Viorel Nitica

Currently, there is great renewed interest in proving the topological transitivity of various classes of continuous dynamical systems. Even though this is one of the most basic dynamical properties that can be investigated, the tools used by various authors are quite diverse and are strongly related to the class of dynamical systems under consideration. The goal of this review article is to present the state of the art for the class of Hölder extensions of hyperbolic systems with non-compact connected Lie group fiber. The hyperbolic systems we consider are mostly discrete time. In particular, we address the stability and genericity ...

An Expansion Property Of Boolean Linear Maps, 2016 Shanghai Jiao Tong University

#### An Expansion Property Of Boolean Linear Maps, Yaokun Wu, Zeying Xu, Yinfeng Zhu

##### Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra

Given a finite set $K$, a Boolean linear map on $K$ is a map $f$ from the set $2^K$ of all subsets of $K$ into itself with $f(\emptyset )=\emptyset$ such that $f(A\cup B)=f(A)\cup f(B)$ holds for all $A,B\in 2^K$. For fixed subsets $X, Y$ of $K$, to predict if $Y$ is reachable from $X$ in the dynamical system driven by $f$, one can assume the existence of nonnegative integers $h$ with $f^h(X)=Y$, find an upper bound $\alpha$ for the minimum of all such assumed integers \$h ...
