Greedy And Optimal Paths In A Weighted Graph Without Circuits And Applications To A Class Of Optimization Problems On Finite Posets, Irinel C. Dragan May 1983

Greedy And Optimal Paths In A Weighted Graph Without Circuits And Applications To A Class Of Optimization Problems On Finite Posets, Irinel C. Dragan

Mathematics Technical Papers - Archive

In several recent papers B. Korte and L. Lovasz considered a mathematical structure called a simple language on which a greedy algorithm can operate (see [31,J41, OD. The concept of greedoid has been defined by relaxing an axiom and strengthening an other axiom from the definition of the matroid. Under some constraints imposed to the objective function of a combinatorial optimization problem on a greedoid, the greedy algorithm provides an efficient method for solving the problem. An algorithmic characterization of the greedoids, similar to that of the matroids, was further searched. The effort has been justified-by several examples of combinatorial …

Microcomputer Algorithms For Prime Number Testing, Susan Dale Barton May 1983

Microcomputer Algorithms For Prime Number Testing, Susan Dale Barton

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This paper gives a survey of different methods of prime number testing. Emphasis has been given to algorithms based upon Fermat's Theorem: if p is an odd prime number, then p divides ap-a. All of the computer programs described in this paper have been written for use on microcomputers and so the feasibility of using microcomputers is also discussed. Finally, numbers of various forms have been considered for primality with special attention given to Mersenne and Fermat numbers. It is hoped that some of the information contained in this paper may provide worthwhile enrichment ideas for mathematics educators.

On Some Deterministic And Stochastic Scheduling Problems., V. Rajendra Prasad Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Scheduling problems are quite common in nature. They arise whenever there is a need to plan the execution of various operations over time. Like many ot her real life problems such as inventories, networks, queues etc. almost all the scheduling problems car be rapresented by appropriate mathematical models. The theory of scheduling is a disciplina which doals with the construction of suitable mathematical models for sche duling problems and their analysis. Scheduling theory came into prominance after Johnson (1954) had published his work on a fiow shop sche duling problem.The current reseu rch work in scheduling thoory can ba classified …

Some Contribution To The Sampling Theory Using Apriori And Aposteriori Information., Pulakesh Maiti Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The practice of keeping records on socio-economic aspects etc. in terms of the data from real or actual populations by the States etc. is age old. There are evidences of such practice in India even at about 500 B.C. where the King Courts/Tribe Mecds/Gromini (village Henda) used to keep the records on military force, human population, cattle population, land u se otc. The records were in the form of data on both the quantitotive ond qualitctive character- istics. It is well known thot the Grent Maghul Empire, in ladia, ol so used to keep the records in form of data …

Some Contributions To Bayes, Minimax And Admissible Decision Rules In One Parameter And Multiparameter Families., Anirban Das Gupta Dr. Feb 1983

Some Contributions To Bayes, Minimax And Admissible Decision Rules In One Parameter And Multiparameter Families., Anirban Das Gupta Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The study of admissible, minimax, and Bayes procedures has been of primary importance ever since the pioneering work of Wald (50). Since early seventies, new directions have been opening up, and not merely new techniques, completely new interpretations and interrelations have come to be known.To prove admissibility of estimates the most commonly used technique is to show that it is extended Bayes and approximate its risk by the risk of the corresponding Bayes estimates. This technique is due to Blyth (51). A sort of conver se result, which cssentially shows that this technique must work for all admissible est imates …

Some Results About Basic Elements, Cancellation And Efficient Generation Of Modules Over Laurent Polynomial Rings., S. Mandal Dr. Feb 1983

Some Results About Basic Elements, Cancellation And Efficient Generation Of Modules Over Laurent Polynomial Rings., S. Mandal Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Unless otherwise stated all rings are assumed to be commutative and Noetherian with finite Krull dimension and modules are finitely generated. There are three related questions in commutative algebra. They are about the existence of unimodular elements in projective modules, cancellation of projective modules and minimal number of generators for finitely generated modules. In particular, determining the minimal number of generators of ideals is also of great interest in this area.In this thesis we shall be concerned with the above questions in the case of Laurent polynomial rings.The thesis consists of three Chapters. The main results are presented in Chapters …

Extension Of Compartmental Parameters To Blocks Of Compartments With Application To Lipoprotein Kinetics, S. M. Grundy, Jerome Eisenfeld Feb 1983

Extension Of Compartmental Parameters To Blocks Of Compartments With Application To Lipoprotein Kinetics, S. M. Grundy, Jerome Eisenfeld

Mathematics Technical Papers - Archive

Suppose that the compartments of a compartmental model are separated into blocks (sets of compartments). In general, the blocks can not be regarded as compartments but it may be possible to construct a "condensation model," the compartments of which correspond to the blocks, in such a fashion so as to retain certain salient properties of the blocks. Condensation is a way of formally summarizing a large model by presenting a smaller one in order to emphasize certain characteristics.of the larger model. Suppose that the parameters to be retained are the mean residence times through the blocks. The paper deals with …

Homomorphisms For Equidistance Relations, Thomas Q. Sibley Jan 1983

Homomorphisms For Equidistance Relations, Thomas Q. Sibley

Mathematics Faculty Publications

This paper presents necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of homomorphisms for equidistance relations in terms of the closed subsystems (the Fundamental Theorem of Homomorphisms). Further, it shows that every closed subsystem of a 1-point homogenous equidistance system is a coset of a unique homomorphism. Affine spaces and other incidence geometries can be seen as examples of equidistance systems.

Alternatives In Quantum Theory, Richard C. Heyser Jan 1983

Alternatives In Quantum Theory, Richard C. Heyser

Unpublished Writings

Quantum mechanical descriptions in terms of momentum and position are identified as alternatives under the condition of equal complex-vaulted Lebesgue square integrability. While this does not change any of the formal results obtained in quantum mechanics, it does shed a different interpretive light on the steps that lead up to these results. Instead of being independent, even in concept, momentum and position are identified as being the same thing, merely seen from different views. Neither is required to complement the descriptive capability of the other, since each forms a complete alternative in its own right. Apparent complementarity, as well as …

A Comparative Study Of Christian Mathematical Realism And Its Humanistic Alternatives, Paul Zwier Jan 1983

A Comparative Study Of Christian Mathematical Realism And Its Humanistic Alternatives, Paul Zwier

ACMS Journal 2004

This paper addresses the growing popularity of views of mathematics that see it primarily as a social entity and that reject Platonism. It contrasts two Christian realist philosophies - those of Alvin Plantinga and Vernon Poythress - with the secular perspective of Philip Davis and Reuben Hersch. It affirms the insight of Davis and Hersch that mathematics is indeed a social entity. However, it argues that belief in God enables a fuller understanding of mathematics - one that accounts for the apparent transcendence of mathematics and its power to explain concepts in the physical world.

Energy States Of Two-Electron Systems Via Bohr Determinism, Donald Greenspan

Mathematics Technical Papers - Archive

Correct ground, ionization, and excited states for two-electron systems are deduced deterministically by a direct extension of Bohr's method for hydrogen. The theory incorporates a classical interpretation of electron pairing and requires computer methodology to solve the resulting mathematical equations.
