Intuitionism, Terence H. Perciante Jun 1979

Intuitionism, Terence H. Perciante

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1979

Intuitionism derives philosophically from Kant's Conceptualism -- the object of the mathematical knowledge only have reality within the mind, they do not have reality apart from our thinking. This paper examines the nature of intuitionism and its strengths.

Two Philosophical Problems About Mathematics, Stephen Barker Jun 1979

Two Philosophical Problems About Mathematics, Stephen Barker

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1979

Mathematics is a flourishing field of human endeavor, a field that is accorded great respect and high standing. For 2500 years or more, many of the best minds available have worked in this field; and the results produced have indirectly been of enormous value to other fields, such as physics, engineering, architecture, economics, and so on. But with is mathematics about? Physics studies moving bodies; engineering studies bridges; architecture studies buildings; economics studies commercial behavior: here there are phenomena we can point to that constitute the subject matter. But what does mathematics study? If you answer “Numbers”, or “Abstract types …

Axiomatic Structure And The Method Of Analysis: Shifting Styles In The History Of Mathematics, Calvin Jongsma Jun 1979

Axiomatic Structure And The Method Of Analysis: Shifting Styles In The History Of Mathematics, Calvin Jongsma

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1979

This article surveys the different views of mathematical methodology that occurred from ancient Greek times through the early modern period up until its codification around 1900. After summarizing the axiomatic approach advocated by Aristotle and implemented in mathematics by Euclid, the talk explores the character of analysis in ancient Greek times, its development into a symbolic algebra by Viete and Descartes, and its expansion into a calculus of fluxions and differentials by Newton and Leibniz. The article concludes by touching on the recovery and transformation of the deductive ideal for mathematics by Pasch, Peano, and Hilbert during the late nineteenth …

A New Approach To Computer Oriented, Quasi-Quantum Mechanical Dynamics, Donald Greenspan Jun 1979

A New Approach To Computer Oriented, Quasi-Quantum Mechanical Dynamics, Donald Greenspan

Mathematics Technical Papers - Archive

A new approach to atomic and molecular dynamics is developed which combines both quantum and classical concepts. Applications are made to the hydrogen atom, the hydrogen ion, and the hydrogen molecule. An accurate computer technique for the approximation of bond lengths is developed and illustrative examples of electron motions are described and discussed. Uncertainty results naturally from a mathematical statement of total system energy, which is always quantized. Angular momentum can be zero and need not be quantized, thereby avoiding inconsistencies of Bohr-Sommerfeld type models.

Existence/Uniqueness And Validation Of Parameter Imbedding Equations For Nonlinear Fredholm Integral Equations, M. E. Lord Apr 1979

Existence/Uniqueness And Validation Of Parameter Imbedding Equations For Nonlinear Fredholm Integral Equations, M. E. Lord

Mathematics Technical Papers - Archive

A parameter imbedding method for nonlinear Fredholm integral equations produces a Cauchy system involving the solution of the integral equation and an associated resolvent kernel. For such Cauchy systems sufficient conditions are given to guarantee local existence and uniqueness of solutions. A Picard type theorem utilizing a Lipschitz condition is obtained. This result then yields the validation of the Cauchy system.

On Identifiability Of Impulse-Response In Compartmental Systems, Jerome Eisenfeld Apr 1979

On Identifiability Of Impulse-Response In Compartmental Systems, Jerome Eisenfeld

Mathematics Technical Papers - Archive

Structural identifiability in compartmental systems deals with the map from impulse-response parameters to model parameters. If the data is analyzed in terms of integral transforms sk (Fourier, moments, etc) then we may study also the map from the sk to impulse-response parameters. This paper is mainly concerned with the latter correspondence. In other words we discuss the possibility of removing (inadvertently or intentionally) decay terms in the process of forming integral transforms.

Stochastic Approximation Procedures For Mixing Stochastic Processes, Katherine Campbell Mar 1979

Stochastic Approximation Procedures For Mixing Stochastic Processes, Katherine Campbell

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

Stochastic approximation methods for estimating the parameters of a stationary autoregressive process of finite order are investigated. The emphasis is on robust methods, and the non-linear scoring functions associated with such methods require the development of new techniques for establishing convergence. A mixing condition falling between the traditional strong and uniform mixing conditions is investigated in detail, and used to establish almost sure and mean square convergence of the proposed algorithms when the underlying process satisfies this condition. A short Monte Carlo study verifies the desirable properties of the robust algorithm in the presence of heavy-tailed innovations.

The prime concem of economist: traditionally has been the system of markets and their role in rasource allocat on. Walrasian equilibrium theory, which is believed to províde an ajequate framework for resource allocation through markets, has been extensively analysed in the recent past. At the sane time, it has been realined, mainly throunh Keynesian influence, that the market machanism is prone to failures, DOwnward Inflezibility of wages is an obvious example of this. It is further possi that a central authority concerned with improving general welfare may tamper vith the market mechanism or do away with it altoer.Thered ar three …

Theory Of Estimation In Algebraic And Analytic Exponential Families With Applications To Variance Components Models., Krishnan Unni Dr. Feb 1979

Theory Of Estimation In Algebraic And Analytic Exponential Families With Applications To Variance Components Models., Krishnan Unni Dr.

Doctoral Theses

There are many important statistical problems of the following kind. The family of probability measures O is parametrized by a vector parame ter n varying in a q-dimen- sional domain. P can be represented as an exponential family of probability distributions with k canonical para- me ters where k is greater than q. The canonical parameters do not vary in a domain in R, but are restricted by polyno- mial or analytic equations. They vary on a curved surface defined by the polynomial or analytic equations within the natural parame ter space of the exponential family. The present work is …

Methodology For Testing Homogeneity Of Variances, Danny D. Dyer, Jerome P. Keating Feb 1979

Methodology For Testing Homogeneity Of Variances, Danny D. Dyer, Jerome P. Keating

Mathematics Technical Papers - Archive

Suppose random samples are drawn from each of n populations with unknown means and variances. Developing procedures to test the claim that the population variances are equal (homogeneity of variances) has frequently been a goal for statisticians. One widely used technique is due to Bartlett (1937) and is based on a slight modification of the generalized Neyman-Pearson likelihood ratio test. It is well known, however, that Bartlett's test is highly sensitive to the assumption that the underlying populations are normal (Box, 1953). If nonnormality is present, the use of Bartlett's test can often lead to the rejection of the claim …
