A Proof Of Lagrange’S Four-Square Theorem, Zhu Cao Oct 2008

A Proof Of Lagrange’S Four-Square Theorem, Zhu Cao

Algebra/Number Theory Seminar

Lagrange's four-square Theorem states that every positive integer can be expressed as the sum of four squares of integers. It was first proved in 1770 by Lagrange (and named after him much later). In this talk, we begin with some preliminary results in q-series and then deduce four-square Theorem using an elementary approach. Our proof was first given by Michael Hirschhorn.


On Circuit Sizes Of Binary Matroids, James Reid Oct 2008

On Circuit Sizes Of Binary Matroids, James Reid

Combinatorics Seminar

Murty in 1971 characterized the connected binary matroids with all circuits having the same size. We characterize the connected binary matroids with a deletable series-class such that all circuits containing the series-class have the same size, and all circuits avoiding the series-class have the same size. As a consequence of this result we obtain both Murty's result and other results on matroids with circuits of only two sizes. This is joint work with Manoel Lemos and Haidong Wu.

Optimal Goodness-Of-Fit Tests, Russell Stocker Oct 2008

Optimal Goodness-Of-Fit Tests, Russell Stocker

Probability & Statistics Seminar

In this talk we consider a study of lifetime data whose units experience multiple ordered events of the same nature. These events are commonly referred to as recurrent events. A class of models used to analyze recurrent event data is presented. We propose goodness-of-fit tests for the null hypothesis that the baseline intensity function belongs to a parametric family of intensities indexed by a parameter $\boldsymbol{\theta}$. These tests are based on a general class of weighted empirical processes. The asymptotic properties of these processes are given. Goodness-of-fits are then constructed based on these processes. Optimality results with regards to local …


Asymptotics Of Greedy Energy Sequences, Abey Lopez Oct 2008

Asymptotics Of Greedy Energy Sequences, Abey Lopez

Analysis Seminar

In this talk, we will discuss results about the asymptotic behavior of certain point configurations called Greedy Energy (GE) points. These points form a sequence generated by means of a greedy algorithm, which is an energy-minimizing construction. The notion of energy that we consider comes from the Riesz potentials �� = 1/��ˢ in ℝᵖ, where �� > 0 and �� denotes the Euclidean distance. It turns out that for certain values of the parameter ��, these configurations behave asymptotically like Minimal Energy (ME) configurations. This property will also be discussed in more abstract contexts like locally compact Hausdorff spaces. For other …


Electrons, Buckyballs, And Orifices: Nature’S Way Of Minimizing Energy, Peter Dragnev Oct 2008

Electrons, Buckyballs, And Orifices: Nature’S Way Of Minimizing Energy, Peter Dragnev

Analysis Seminar

The ‘uniform’ distribution of many points on the unit sphere is a highly non-trivial problem with applications throughout modern science. Whether one studies electrons in equilibrium from physics, large fullerene compounds from chemistry, orifices of pollen grain from biology, or data encoding from computer science, one arrives at spherical arrangements of points that minimize some energy functional. In this talk, we shall make a short survey of various problems in the literature and focus on the separation properties of extremal configurations and related minimal energy problems.

Conformal Maps And Orthogonal Polynomials For Planar Regions With Analytic Boundaries, Part Ii, Erwin Miña-Díaz Sep 2008

Conformal Maps And Orthogonal Polynomials For Planar Regions With Analytic Boundaries, Part Ii, Erwin Miña-Díaz

Analysis Seminar

For an arbitrary analytic Jordan curve �� in the complex plane, whose interior domain is denoted by ��, we shall look at the sequence of polynomials ��ₙ(��), �� = 0,1,2,... (��ₙ of exact degree ��) that are orthonormal over �� with respect to area measure, that is, ∫₉ ��ₙ(��)��ₘ(��) d��(��) = 0 if �� ≠ �� and 1 if �� = ��, where d�� is the two-dimensional Lebesgue (area) measure. Specifically, we want to understand how these polynomials and their zeros behave as �� → ∞. We shall give a quite complete and satisfactory answer to this question, which required …

Examining The Effects Of A Leave No Trace Outdoor Ethics Awareness Workshop On The Environmental Attitudes And Knowledge Of Undergraduate Students, Timothy T. Williamson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The philosophy of Leave No Trace (LNT) has been a component of outdoor ethics education since the late 1970s. LNT is an education program designed to teach stewardship, land ethics and outdoor recreation skills that protect shared resources. The LNT Awareness Workshop is a 30-minute intervention which is designed to introduce these ideas within these time constraints to diverse populations. This study examined the effects of the Workshop presentation on university undergraduate students as it concerned their attitudes and knowledge of outdoor ethics and LNT. A pre-posttest control group design was implemented with two control groups and two experimental groups. …
