Applying Ahp And Clustering Approaches For Public Transportation Decisionmaking: A Case Study Of Isfahan City, Alireza Salavati, Hossein Haghshenas, Bahador Ghadirifaraz, Jamshid Laghaei, Ghodrat Eftekhari

Journal of Public Transportation

The main purpose of this paper is to define appropriate criteria for the systematic approach to evaluate and prioritize multiple candidate corridors for public transport investment simultaneously to serve travel demand, regarding supply of current public transportation system and road network conditions of Isfahan, Iran. To optimize resource allocation, policymakers need to identify proper corridors to implement a public transportation system. In fact, the main question is to adopt the best public transportation system for each main corridor of Isfahan. In this regard, 137 questionnaires were completed by experts, directors, and policymakers of Isfahan to identify goals and objectives in …


Variance Of Clusterings On Graphs, Thomas Vlado Mulc Apr 2016

Variance Of Clusterings On Graphs, Thomas Vlado Mulc

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

Graphs that represent data often have structures or characteristics that can represent some relationships in the data. One of these structures is clusters or community structures. Most clustering algorithms for graphs are deterministic, which means they will output the same clustering each time. We investigated a few stochastic algorithms, and look into the consistency of their clusterings.


Topological Data Analysis For Systems Of Coupled Oscillators, Alec Dunton Jan 2016

Topological Data Analysis For Systems Of Coupled Oscillators, Alec Dunton

HMC Senior Theses

Coupled oscillators, such as groups of fireflies or clusters of neurons, are found throughout nature and are frequently modeled in the applied mathematics literature. Earlier work by Kuramoto, Strogatz, and others has led to a deep understanding of the emergent behavior of systems of such oscillators using traditional dynamical systems methods. In this project we outline the application of techniques from topological data analysis to understanding the dynamics of systems of coupled oscillators. This includes the examination of partitions, partial synchronization, and attractors. By looking for clustering in a data space consisting of the phase change of oscillators over a …
