Every Scattered Space Is Subcompact, William Fleissner, Vladimir Tkachuk, Lynne Yengulalp Aug 2013

Every Scattered Space Is Subcompact, William Fleissner, Vladimir Tkachuk, Lynne Yengulalp

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We prove that every scattered space is hereditarily subcompact and any finite union of subcompact spaces is subcompact. It is a long-standing open problem whether every Čech-complete space is subcompact. Moreover, it is not even known whether the complement of every countable subset of a compact space is subcompact. We prove that this is the case for linearly ordered compact spaces as well as for ω -monolithic compact spaces. We also establish a general result for Tychonoff products of discrete spaces which implies that dense Gδ-subsets of Cantor cubes are subcompact.


A Spectral Order For Infinite Dimensional Quantum Spaces, Joe Mashburn Feb 2013

A Spectral Order For Infinite Dimensional Quantum Spaces, Joe Mashburn

Mathematics Faculty Publications

In this paper we extend the spectral order of Coecke and Martin to infinite-dimensional quantum states. Many properties present in the finite-dimensional case are preserved, but some of the most important are lost. The order is constructed and its properties analysed. Most of the useful measurements of information content are lost. Shannon entropy is defined on only a part of the model, and that part is not a closed subset of the model. The finite parts of the lattices used by Birkhoff and von Neumann as models for classical and quantum logic appear as subsets of the models for infinite …


The Effects Of Variable Viscosity On The Peristaltic Flow Of Non-Newtonian Fluid Through A Porous Medium In An Inclined Channel With Slip Boundary Conditions, Ambreen Afsar Khan, R. Ellahi, Muhammad Usman Jan 2013

The Effects Of Variable Viscosity On The Peristaltic Flow Of Non-Newtonian Fluid Through A Porous Medium In An Inclined Channel With Slip Boundary Conditions, Ambreen Afsar Khan, R. Ellahi, Muhammad Usman

Mathematics Faculty Publications

The present paper investigates the peristaltic motion of an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid with variable viscosity through a porous medium in an inclined symmetric channel under the effect of the slip condition. A long wavelength approximation is used in mathematical modeling. The system of the governing nonlinear partial differential equation has been solved by using the regular perturbation method and the analytical solutions for velocity and pressure rise have been obtained in the form of stream function. In the obtained solution expressions, the long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions are utilized. The salient features of pumping and trapping phenomena are …


When Cp(X) Is Domain Representable, William Fleissner, Lynne Yengulalp Jan 2013

When Cp(X) Is Domain Representable, William Fleissner, Lynne Yengulalp

Mathematics Faculty Publications

Let M be a metrizable group. Let G be a dense subgroup of MX . If G is domain representable, then G = MX . The following corollaries answer open questions. If X is completely regular and Cp(X) is domain representable, then X is discrete. If X is zero-dimensional, T2 , and Cp(X;D) is subcompact, then X is discrete.


An Implicit Interface Boundary Integral Method For Poisson’S Equation On Arbitrary Domains, Catherine Kublik, Nicolay M. Tanushev, Richard Tsai Jan 2013

An Implicit Interface Boundary Integral Method For Poisson’S Equation On Arbitrary Domains, Catherine Kublik, Nicolay M. Tanushev, Richard Tsai

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We propose a simple formulation for constructing boundary integral methods to solve Poisson’s equation on domains with smooth boundaries defined through their signed distance function. Our formulation is based on averaging a family of parameterizations of an integral equation defined on the boundary of the domain, where the integrations are carried out in the level set framework using an appropriate Jacobian. By the coarea formula, the algorithm operates in the Euclidean space and does not require any explicit parameterization of the boundaries. We present numerical results in two and three dimensions.
