Adaptive Two-Derivative Runge–Kutta–Nyström Method With Trigonometric Fitting Approach, Nur Nabila Huda, Khai Chien Lee, Nurul Huda Abdul Aziz May 2026

Adaptive Two-Derivative Runge–Kutta–Nyström Method With Trigonometric Fitting Approach, Nur Nabila Huda, Khai Chien Lee, Nurul Huda Abdul Aziz

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A fifth-order trigonometrically-fitted explicit two-derivative Runge–Kutta–Nyström method with an adaptive step size strategy, denoted as ATFRKN5, is proposed for efficiently solving second-order ordinary differential equations of the form u″(x) = f(x, u(x)) that exhibit oscillatory behavior. The order conditions of the method are derived using Taylor series expansion, enabling the construction of two-derivative Runge–Kutta–Nyström schemes up to orders four and five. Trigonometric fitting is applied by incorporating the basis functions eiλx and e−iλx, λ ∈ ℝ, allowing the method to adapt naturally to problems with dominant frequencies. …

On Sequences Arising From The Action Of Modular Group, Tuncay Köroğlu, Bahadir Özgür Güler May 2026

On Sequences Arising From The Action Of Modular Group, Tuncay Köroğlu, Bahadir Özgür Güler

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper examines the sequences produced by the natural action of specific elements of the modular group on extended rational numbers. The polynomial sequences Pr(c) and Qr(c) are derived from the orbit of the point at infinity under a specific modular transformation. These sequences satisfy linear recurrence relations, which are analyzed using generating functions. The polynomials encode k-Fibonacci numbers, and studying their behavior modulo a fixed integer m reveals notable arithmetic and combinatorial properties. We also explore the connection between these modular actions and Farey graphs, illustrating the hyperbolic transformations as nested geodesic paths in the upper half-plane.

A Module Theoretic Approach To (B,C)-Invertibility, Tuğba Pakel, Burcu Üngör, Handan Köse, Sai̇t Halicioğlu, Abdullah Harmanci May 2026

A Module Theoretic Approach To (B,C)-Invertibility, Tuğba Pakel, Burcu Üngör, Handan Köse, Sai̇t Halicioğlu, Abdullah Harmanci

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we introduce and investigate the concept of an (r, f)-inverse in the context of modules, drawing inspiration from the (b, c)-inverse, which is the analogous notion in ring theory. We demonstrate the uniqueness of (r, f)-inverses in modules whenever they exist. We provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of (r, f)-inverses in modules.

Proportion Of Nilpotent Subgroups In Finite Groups And Their Properties, João Victor Monteiros De Andrade, Leonardo Santos Da Cruz May 2026

Proportion Of Nilpotent Subgroups In Finite Groups And Their Properties, João Victor Monteiros De Andrade, Leonardo Santos Da Cruz

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

​This work introduces and investigates the function J(G) = Nil(G) / L(G) , where Nil(G) denotes the number of nilpotent subgroups and L(G) the total number of subgroups of a finite group G. The function J(G), defined on the interval (0,1], represents the proportion of nilpotent subgroups relative to the total number of subgroups, including trivial ones. It serves as a tool for analyzing structural patterns in finite groups, particularly in nonnilpotent families such as supersolvable and dihedral groups. Analytical results reveal the distribution of J(G) values across products of dihedral groups, emphasizing its density over (0,1]. Additionally, a probabilistic …

Optimal Control Of An Inverse Two-Point Boundary Value Problem For A Pseudoparabolic Equation With Samarskii–Ionkin-Type Boundary Conditions, Khanlar R. Mamedov, Tursun K. Yuldashev, Zholdoshbek Zh. Shermamatov May 2026

Optimal Control Of An Inverse Two-Point Boundary Value Problem For A Pseudoparabolic Equation With Samarskii–Ionkin-Type Boundary Conditions, Khanlar R. Mamedov, Tursun K. Yuldashev, Zholdoshbek Zh. Shermamatov

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper investigates an inverse optimal control problem for a pseudoparabolic equation governed by nonlinear control function in a two-point boundary condition. The differential equation is considered under Samarskii Ionkin-type boundary value conditions with respect to the spatial variable x. Necessary optimality conditions are derived, and the associated nonlinear functional equations are analyzed. Using the contraction mapping principle, the existence and uniqueness of the control function are established. Subsequently, the redefinition function and the state function are determined. The convergence of their respective Fourier series representations is rigorously proven.

Close-To-Convexity Properties Of Inverse Hypergeometric Functions, Ijlal Hussain, Wasim Ul Haq, Janusz Sokol May 2026

Close-To-Convexity Properties Of Inverse Hypergeometric Functions, Ijlal Hussain, Wasim Ul Haq, Janusz Sokol

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The normalized inverse hypergeometric function zFν−1(d, e, f; z) = ∑s=0∞ Aszs+1 is considered, where As = (f)s(ν + 1)s / (d)s(e)s. We aim to provide constraints on d, e, f, and ν under which zFν−1(d, e, f; z) belongs to various subclasses of the class of close-to-convex functions. Coefficient characterizations of these families are derived under additional conditions. Some associated operators …

Ricci Solitons On Manifolds With Norden Golden Structure, Bang-Yen Chen, Foued Aloui, Mohammed Nisar, Majid Ali Choudhary

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

​The concept of golden structure is a compelling area with wide-ranging applications. In this paper, we introduce and investigate the notion of Norden golden Ricci solitons. In particular, we investigate Ricci solitons on a Norden golden Riemannian manifold of constant sectional curvature. Furthermore, we explore Ricci solitons and Norden golden Ricci solitons on Norden golden Riemannian manifolds whose potential vector fields are killing, conformal killing, concurrent, or homothetic.

Comparisons Of Some Weighted Mixed Biased Estimators For The Linear Regression Model, Dünya Karapinar, Murat Polat, Ni̇met Özbay, Selahatti̇n Kaçiranlar May 2026

Comparisons Of Some Weighted Mixed Biased Estimators For The Linear Regression Model, Dünya Karapinar, Murat Polat, Ni̇met Özbay, Selahatti̇n Kaçiranlar

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper presents comparative results on the two-parameter weighted mixed estimator, which is a distinct class of estimator defined to address the problem of multicollinearity. The two-parameter weighted mixed estimator is a general estimator that includes the weighted mixed estimator, the weighted mixed Liu estimator, and the weighted mixed ridge estimator. Detailed comparisons among the mentioned estimators are carried out based on the matrix mean square error. Theoretical findings are supported by two numerical examples in addition to a Monte Carlo simulation study.

Oscillation Properties Of First-Order Difference Equations With Nonmonotone Delays: New Insights And Criteria, Emad Attia, George Chatzarakis May 2026

Oscillation Properties Of First-Order Difference Equations With Nonmonotone Delays: New Insights And Criteria, Emad Attia, George Chatzarakis

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we examine the oscillatory behavior of the first-order linear delay difference equation Δy(n) + p(n) y(τ(n)) = 0, n ∈ ℕ0. It is known in the literature that, for any C > 0, the condition lim supn→∞ ∑i=τ(n)n p(i) > C, with τ(n) nonmonotone, is not, in general, sufficient to establish the oscillation of the difference equation. We prove that, for certain classes of difference equations, the aforementioned condition is sufficient to ensure the …

Λ-Fold Near-Factorizations Of Groups, Donald L. Kreher, Shuxing Li, Douglas R. Stinson May 2026

Λ-Fold Near-Factorizations Of Groups, Donald L. Kreher, Shuxing Li, Douglas R. Stinson

Michigan Tech Publications

We initiate the study of λ-fold near-factorizations of groups with λ>1. While λ-fold near-factorizations of groups with λ=1 have been studied in numerous papers, this is the first detailed treatment for λ>1. We establish fundamental properties of λ-fold near-factorizations and introduce the notion of equivalence. We prove various necessary conditions of λ-fold near-factorizations, including upper bounds on λ. We present three constructions of infinite families of λ-fold near-factorizations, highlighting the characterization of two subfamilies of λ-fold near-factorizations. We discuss a computational approach to λ-fold near-factorizations and tabulate computational results for abelian groups of small order.

Relation Subspaces In Vertex Operator Algebras: Residue Generators For O_N^\Circ(V) And Intersections With (L(−1) +L(0))V, Junghyun Kim

Undergraduate Research Journal

We study the relation subspace 𝑂◦𝑛 (𝑉) that appears in the definition o f the level-𝑛 Zhu algebra 𝐴𝑛 (𝑉) = 𝑉/𝑂𝑛 (𝑉), where 𝑂𝑛 (𝑉) = 𝑂𝐿 (𝑉) + 𝑂◦𝑛 (𝑉) and 𝑂𝐿 (𝑉) =(𝐿(−1) + 𝐿(0))𝑉. Using residue calculus, we introduce operators 𝑅𝑛,𝑘 that encode the circle products 𝑢◦𝑛 𝑣 and prove explicit change-of-generators formulas between the standard generators (𝑢−𝑚1)◦𝑛 𝑣 and the residue generators 𝑢 𝑅𝑛,0𝑣, together with a binomial inversion. These identities provide a practical framework for computing 𝑂◦𝑛 (𝑉), especially in strongly generated VOAs. As progress toward understanding the overlap 𝑂◦𝑛 (𝑉) ∩ 𝑂𝐿 (𝑉), …

Identifiability, Sequentiality And Infinity, Jose L. Menaldi May 2026

Identifiability, Sequentiality And Infinity, Jose L. Menaldi

Mathematics Faculty Research Publications

Abstract: A definition of identifiable-sets is used with sequential analysis to establish a realm of mathematics. Within this imaginary world, a specific consonant between infinite sets and sequentiality is reached.  This consonant allows some mathematical constructions to model pieces of the reality, based on dual philosophy and physics itself.  There is an effort made to render this understandable for the scientific community.

Momentum Space Algorithm For Electronic Structure Of Double-Incommensurate Trilayer Graphene, Kenneth Silver Beard May 2026

Momentum Space Algorithm For Electronic Structure Of Double-Incommensurate Trilayer Graphene, Kenneth Silver Beard

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Numerical algorithms for computing the electronic structure of incommensurate 2D-materials using ab initio models are critical for predicting material properties and guiding experiments. For bilayers, momentum space and continuum models have been introduced to approximate observables of ab initio tight-binding models using a momentum description, despite the lack of periodicity in the tight-binding model required for Bloch theory. A similar structure has been introduced for double-incommensurate trilayers using a continuum model, where the three lattices are mutually incommensurate. However, this description leads to a four-dimensional lattice space, and numerical convergence of the density of states has been observed to be …

Global Invertibility Of Sobolev Mappings And Energy Minimizers With Prescribed Jacobian, Sabrina Traver May 2026

Global Invertibility Of Sobolev Mappings And Energy Minimizers With Prescribed Jacobian, Sabrina Traver

Dissertations - ALL

We prove two main results at the intersection of Geometric Function Theory and Nonlinear Elasticity. The first is a Sobolev variant of the Inverse Function Theorem, which generalizes a famous result of John Ball. It uses Classical Sobolev Theory as well as the Degree Function, which was initially a topological tool. The second result is the existence and uniqueness (up to rotation) of a radially-symmetric minimizer for Sobolev mappings with prescribed Jacobian. This result generalizes recent work of André Guerra, Lukas Koch, and Sauli Lindberg.

Dg Algebra Techniques For Tor Algebras And Edge Ideals, Desiree Martin May 2026

Dg Algebra Techniques For Tor Algebras And Edge Ideals, Desiree Martin

Dissertations - ALL

This thesis is comprised of two projects. The first is individual work where I use semifree Gamma-extensions to show, for an ideal I with infinite projective dimension over a Noetherian local ring R, there exists a splitting morphism from a Tor algebra Tor(R/I,R/I) to the exterior algebra of the R/I-free summands of the conormal module. In particular, when the conormal module is free over R/I, we see that the exterior algebra of the conormal module splits completely from Tor(R/I,R/I) as algebras. For the second project my collaborators, Hugh Geller and Henry Potts-Rubin, and I completely classify all trees and cycle …

On Compact Quasi-Einstein Metrics Of Constant Scalar Curvature, Eric Morgan Cochran May 2026

On Compact Quasi-Einstein Metrics Of Constant Scalar Curvature, Eric Morgan Cochran

Dissertations - ALL

This thesis concerns a generalization of Einstein manifolds called quasi-Einstein manifolds. These manifolds are a triple $(M,g,X)$ where $(M,g)$ is a Riemannian manifold, and $X$ is a smooth vector field on $M$. Quasi-Einstein manifolds are of interest in general relativity, where a special class of quasi-Einstein manifolds are known as near horizon geometries. They are also related to Ricci solitons, which are self-similar solutions of the Ricci flow. In the first set of results in this thesis, we study the existence of Killing fields on compact quasi-Einstein manifolds. In particular, we prove an equivalence between compact quasi-Einstein manifolds of constant …

Quasi-Einstein Metrics And Homogeneous Conformally Einstein Manifolds, Nazia Valiyakath May 2026

Quasi-Einstein Metrics And Homogeneous Conformally Einstein Manifolds, Nazia Valiyakath

Dissertations - ALL

This thesis investigates a classic question in Riemannian geometry: What is the best metric to put on a Riemannian manifold? It combines two projects that explore different aspects of this question. The first project studies nilpotent and unimodular solvable Lie groups that admit m-quasi-Einstein metrics (M,g,X) with X a left-invariant vector field, which we call totally left-invariant quasi-Einstein metrics. We give a complete classification of nilpotent Lie groups admitting such metrics, showing that this occurs if and only if the group is isomorphic to Heisenberg Lie group. For unimodular solvable Lie groups S, we prove that the existence of a …

Greedy Algorithms And Matroids, Kiri M. Strack May 2026

Greedy Algorithms And Matroids, Kiri M. Strack

LSU Master's Theses

In a connected graph with weights on the edges, a minimum-weight spanning tree can be obtained by repeatedly choosing minimum-weight edges while avoiding choosing the edge set of any cycle. This algorithm is known as Kruskal’s Algorithm, although it was first introduced by Boruvka in 1926. Prim introduced an alternative algorithm in which, at each step, the chosen set of edges forms a connected graph. Both of these algorithms make locally optimal choices that eventually yield a global optimum. This thesis considers how these algorithms can be extended to matroids. In particular, it is shown that matroids are exactly the …

Monotone Traveling Waves In A General Discrete Model For Populations With K-Generation Long-Term Memory, Austin Kernel Sanders May 2026

Monotone Traveling Waves In A General Discrete Model For Populations With K-Generation Long-Term Memory, Austin Kernel Sanders

Theses and Dissertations

We investigate the spatial dynamics of a population modeled by a general discrete integrodifference equation incorporating k-generation long-term memory. While classical models rely solely on the im- mediately preceding state to determine population growth and dispersal, introducing multiple past states causes the associated evolution operator to lose compactness. Consequently, standard fixed- point theorems are insufficient to prove the existence of traveling wave solutions. We overcome this difficulty by constructing a time-independent moving frame operator and employing the monotone iteration method. By assuming the fecundity function is locally Lipschitz, bounded, and nondecreasing on a specified interval, and by relaxing continuity requirements …

The Isoperimetric Inequality And Wirtinger’S Inequality, Mason Neal May 2026

The Isoperimetric Inequality And Wirtinger’S Inequality, Mason Neal

Honors Theses

In this thesis, we present Hurwitz’s proof of the Isoperimetric Inequality, which roughly states that the area enclosed by a simple closed curve is always less than or equal to the area of a circle with the same perimeter. Hurwitz’s proof relies on Wirtinger’s Inequality. We survey results about periodic functions and Fourier series, and we use them to provide a proof of Wirtinger’s Inequality. We then give a new proof of a variant of Wirtinger’s Inequality due to Alzer and generalize this variant to higher powers.

Largest 2-Regular Subgraphs In Complete S-Partite Graphs, Yiyang Jiang May 2026

Largest 2-Regular Subgraphs In Complete S-Partite Graphs, Yiyang Jiang

McKelvey School of Engineering Graduate Student Theses & Dissertations

In this thesis, we focus on the class of complete $S$-partite graphs, for $S$ an undirected graph possibly with self-loops, and address the problem of finding largest $2$-regular subgraphs of these graphs, which can be formulated as an integer linear program. Roughly speaking, a complete $S$-partite graph is obtained by replacing every single node of $S$ with a number of nodes, preserving the edge/non-edge relations of $S$. Our motivation in studying largest $2$-regular subgraphs is rooted in the structural systems theory, particularly in the problem of finding largest subnetworks that can sustain controllability or asymptotic stability of the corresponding subsystems. …

Toward The Salmon Prize: A Computational Certificate For The M5, M6, And M9 Equation Families Of Σ4(P3 × P3 × P3), John Trevino

Theatre Faculty Publications

We present a computational certificate for three families of explicit polyno- mial equations whose zero locus contains the fourth secant variety σ4(P3×P3×P3) inside P63. The three families are: 192 degree-5 Strassen commutation equa- tions (M5); 160 degree-6 equations lifted from the Bates–Oeding generators of σ4(P2 × P2 × P3) via the Landsberg–Manivel–Friedland theorem (M6); and 64 degree-9 Ottaviani 9 × 9 determinant equations (M9). All 416 generators are explicit polynomials in the coordinate ring Z[Zijk | i, j, k ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3}]. We verify by exact integer arithmetic that every generator vanishes on rank-4 test tensors (six independent …

A Two-Phase Perspective On A Related-Rates Paradox, Charlie Vazquez Acosta May 2026

A Two-Phase Perspective On A Related-Rates Paradox, Charlie Vazquez Acosta

Honors Capstones

Related-rates problems are a standard topic in first-year calculus and have appeared in textbooks for over 150 years. These problems are used to teach implicit differentiation and the relationship between changing quantities. Common examples include the falling ladder, the fishing bobber, the melting snowball, and the leaking conical tank. In each of these problems, a quantity is changing at a constant rate, and students are asked to find the rate of change of another related quantity. While the computations themselves are usually straightforward, the standard models lead to unrealistic results near the end of the motion. For example, the falling …

Leveraging Information Theory And Ecological Network Analysis To Monitor Communication Networks In A Student Aerospace Team, Christine Sessions

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

Effective communication is a critical component of successful collaboration in group projects and team settings. However, systematically tracking and analyzing team communications can be challenging, especially in complex, multi-member teams such as those found in the aerospace industry. This paper explores an information-theoretic approach that leverages encoding techniques and graph theory to analyze communication networks within a university’s multi-year, student-led cubesat design project (Project COMET). By utilizing Shannon Entropy as a measure of information flow, encoding communication patterns, and analyzing Ecological Network Analysis parameters, this research aims to understand how an Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University student project team evolves over the …
