Green's Functions Of Discrete Fractional Calculus Boundary Value Problems And An Application Of Discrete Fractional Calculus To A Pharmacokinetic Model, Sutthirut Charoenphon May 2014

Green's Functions Of Discrete Fractional Calculus Boundary Value Problems And An Application Of Discrete Fractional Calculus To A Pharmacokinetic Model, Sutthirut Charoenphon

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Fractional calculus has been used as a research tool in the fields of pharmacology, biology, chemistry, and other areas [3]. The main purpose of this thesis is to calculate Green's functions of fractional difference equations, and to model problems in pharmacokinetics. We claim that the discrete fractional calculus yields the best prediction performance compared to the continuous fractional calculus in the application of a one-compartmental model of drug concentration. In Chapter 1, the Gamma function and its properties are discussed to establish a theoretical basis. Additionally, the basics of discrete fractional calculus are discussed using particular examples for further calculations. …


For Each Mathematical Statement, Only Finitely Many Of Its Generalizations Are Useful: A Formal Proof Of E. Bishop's Idea, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich Mar 2014

For Each Mathematical Statement, Only Finitely Many Of Its Generalizations Are Useful: A Formal Proof Of E. Bishop's Idea, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Generalization is one of the main mathematical activities. Some generalizations turn out to be useful for working mathematics, while many other generalizations have so far been not very useful. E. Bishop believed that most fruitless-so-far generalizations are hopeless, that every mathematical statement has only a few useful generalizations. In this paper, we show that, under a natural definition of the notion of useful generalization, Bishop's belief can be proven -- moreover, it turns out that for each mathematical statement, only finitely many of its generalizations are useful.


Conditional Tests On Basins Of Attraction With Finite Fields, Ian H. Dinwoodie Mar 2014

Conditional Tests On Basins Of Attraction With Finite Fields, Ian H. Dinwoodie

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

An iterative method is given for computing the polynomials that vanish on the basin of attraction of a steady state in discrete polynomial dynamics with finite field coefficients. The algorithm is applied to dynamics of a T cell survival network where it is used to compare transition maps conditional on a basin of attraction.

Algebraic Structures On Real And Neutrosophic Semi Open Squares, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy Jan 2014

Algebraic Structures On Real And Neutrosophic Semi Open Squares, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Here for the first time we introduce the semi open square using modulo integers. Authors introduce several algebraic structures on them. These squares under addition modulo ‘n’ is a group and however under product  this semi open square is only a semigroup as under  the square has infinite number of zero divisors. Apart from + and  we define min and max operation on this square. Under min and max operation this semi real open square is a semiring. It is interesting to note that this semi open square is not a ring under + and  since …

Neutrosophic Theory And Its Applications : Collected Papers - Vol. 1, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Neutrosophic Theory means Neutrosophy applied in many fields in order to solve problems related to indeterminacy. Neutrosophy is a new branch of philosophy that studies the origin, nature, and scope of neutralities, as well as their interactions with different ideational spectra. This theory considers every entity together with its opposite or negation and with their spectrum of neutralities in between them (i.e. entities supporting neither nor ). The and ideas together are referred to as . Neutrosophy is a generalization of Hegel's dialectics (the last one is based on and only). According to this theory every entity tends to be …
