Quantile-Locating Functions And The Distance Between The Mean And Quantiles, D. Gilat, Theodore P. Hill
Quantile-Locating Functions And The Distance Between The Mean And Quantiles, D. Gilat, Theodore P. Hill
Research Scholars in Residence
Given a random variable X with finite mean, for each 0 < p < 1, a new sharp bound is found on the distance between a p-quantile of X and its mean in terms of the central absolute first moment of X. The new bounds strengthen the fact that the mean of X is within one standard deviation of any of its medians, as well as a recent quantile-generalization of this fact by O'Cinneide.
Splitting Theorems In Recursion Theory, Rod G. Downey, Michael Stob
Splitting Theorems In Recursion Theory, Rod G. Downey, Michael Stob
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
A splitting of an r.e. set A is a pair A1, A2 of disjoint r.e. sets such that A1 ∪ A2 = A. Theorems about splittings have played an important role in recursion theory. One of the main reasons for this is that a splitting of A is a decomposition of A in both the lattice, ε, of recursively enumerable sets and in the uppersemilattice, R, of recursively enumerable degrees (since A1 ≤T A, A2 ≤T A and A ≤T A1 ⊕ A2). Thus splitting theor ems have been used to obtain results about the structure of ε, the structure …

Tangential And Normal Euler Numbers, Complex Points, And Singularities Of Projections For Oriented Surfaces In Four-Space, Thomas Banchoff, Frank A. Farris
Tangential And Normal Euler Numbers, Complex Points, And Singularities Of Projections For Oriented Surfaces In Four-Space, Thomas Banchoff, Frank A. Farris
Mathematics and Computer Science
For a compact oriented smooth surface immersed in Euclidean four-space (thought of as complex two-space), the sum of the tangential and normal Euler numbers is equal to the algebraic number of points where the tangent plane is a complex line. This follows from the construction of an explicit homology between the zero-chains of complex points and the zero-chains of singular points of projections to lines and hyperplanes representing the tangential and normal Euler classes.
Controllability And Stabilizability Of Coupled Strings With Control Applied At The Coupled Points, Lop-Fat Ho
Controllability And Stabilizability Of Coupled Strings With Control Applied At The Coupled Points, Lop-Fat Ho
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Controllability and stabilizability of a system of coupled strings with control applied at the coupled points is studied. By investigating the properties of certain exponential series, it is shown that the system is approximate controllable if and only if related systems of uncoupled strings do not share a common eigenvalue. A sufficient condition for exact controllability is also obtained in terms of the Riesz basis properties of those exponential series.

New Constructions Of Menon Difference Sets, K. T. Arasu, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab, Surinder K. Sehgal
New Constructions Of Menon Difference Sets, K. T. Arasu, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab, Surinder K. Sehgal
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
Menon difference sets have parameters (4N2, 2N2 − N, N2 − N). These have been constructed for N = 2a3b, 0 ⩽ a,b, but the only known constructions in abelian groups require that the Sylow 3-subgroup be elementary abelian (there are some nonabelian examples). This paper provides a construction of difference sets in higher exponent groups, and this provides new examples of perfect binary arrays.
A Run-Time Decision Procedure For Responsive Computing Systems, Grace Tsai, Matt Insall, Bruce M. Mcmillin
A Run-Time Decision Procedure For Responsive Computing Systems, Grace Tsai, Matt Insall, Bruce M. Mcmillin
Computer Science Technical Reports
A responsive computing system is a hybrid of real-time, distributed and fault-tolerant systems. In such a system, severe consequences will occur if the logical and physical specifications of the system are not met. In this paper, we present a logic, Interval Temporal Logic (ITL), to specify responsive systems and give decision procedures to verify properties of the system at run-time as follows. First, we collect, during execution, events occurring in the system to represent a distributed computation. Next, we specify properties of the system using ITL formulas. Finally, we apply the decision procedures to determine satisfaction of the formulas. Thus, …

On Revelation Transforms That Characterize Probability Distributions, Stefanka Chukova, Boyan N. Dimitrov, Jean Pierre Dion
Mathematics Publications
A characterization of exponential, geometric and of distributions with almost-lack-of-memory property, based on the revelation transform of probability distributions and relevation of random variables is discussed. Known characterizations of the exponential distribution on the base of relevation transforms given by Grosswald et al. [4], and Lau and Rao [7] are obtained under weakened conditions and the proofs are simplified. A characterization the class of almost-lack-of-memory distributions through the relevation is specified.

Harmonic-Analysis Of Fractal Measures Induced By Representations Of A Certain C*-Algebra, Palle Jorgensen, Steen Pedersen
Harmonic-Analysis Of Fractal Measures Induced By Representations Of A Certain C*-Algebra, Palle Jorgensen, Steen Pedersen
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
We describe a class of measurable subsets Ω in Rd such that L2(Ω) has an orthogonal basis of frequencies eλ(x) = ei2πλ.x(x ε Ω) indexed by λ ∈ Λ ⊂ Rd. We show that such spectral pairs (Ω, Λ) have a self-similarity which may be used to generate associated fractal measures μ with Cantor set support. The Hilbert space L2(μ) does not have a total set of orthogonal frequencies, but a harmonic analysis of mu may be built instead from a natural representation of the Cuntz …
The Lazer Mckenna Conjecture For Radial Solutions In The Rn Ball, Alfonso Castro, Sudhasree Gadam
The Lazer Mckenna Conjecture For Radial Solutions In The Rn Ball, Alfonso Castro, Sudhasree Gadam
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
When the range of the derivative of the nonlinearity contains the first k eigenvalues of the linear part and a certain parameter is large, we establish the existence of 2k radial solutions to a semilinear boundary value problem. This proves the Lazer McKenna conjecture for radial solutions. Our results supplement those in [5], where the existence of k + 1 solutions was proven.

Constructing An Interval Temporal Logic For Real-Time Systems, Grace Tsai, Matt Insall, Bruce M. Mcmillin
Constructing An Interval Temporal Logic For Real-Time Systems, Grace Tsai, Matt Insall, Bruce M. Mcmillin
Computer Science Technical Reports
A real-time system is one that involves control of one or more physical devices with essential timing requirements. Examples of these systems are command and control systems, process control systems, flight control systems, and the space shuttle avionics systems. The characteristics of these systems are that severe consequences will occur if the logical and physical timing specifications of the systems are not met.
Formal specification and verification are among the techniques to achieve reliable software for real-time systems, in which testing may be impossible or too dangerous to perform. This paper presents a modal logic, Interval Temporal , built upon …
Approximation Methods For Singular Diffusions Arising In Genetics, Nacer E. Abrouk
Approximation Methods For Singular Diffusions Arising In Genetics, Nacer E. Abrouk
Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)
Stochastic models in population genetics leading to diffusion equations are considered. When the drift and the square of the diffusion coefficients are polynomials, an infinite system of ordinary differential equations for the moments of the diffusion process can be derived using the Martingale property. An example is provided to show how the classical Fokker-Planck Equation approach may not be appropriate for this derivation. A Gauss-Galerkin method for approximating the laws of the diffusion, originally proposed by Dawson (1980), is examined. In the few special cases for which exact solutions are known, comparison shows that the method is accurate and the …
Classification Of The Tor-Algebras Of Codimension Four Almost Complete Intersections, Andrew R. Kustin
Classification Of The Tor-Algebras Of Codimension Four Almost Complete Intersections, Andrew R. Kustin
Faculty Publications
Let (R, m, k) be a local ring in which 2 is a unit. Assume that every element of k has a square root in k . We classify the algebras Tor'(R/J, k) as J varies over all grade four almost complete intersection ideals in R. The analogous classification has already been found when J varies over all grade four Gorenstein ideals [21], and when J varies over all ideals of grade at most three [5, 30]. The present paper makes use of the classification, in [21], of the Tor-algebraso f codimension four Gorenstein rings, as well as the (usually …
Symmetries Of The Einstein Equations, Ian M. Anderson, C. Torre
Symmetries Of The Einstein Equations, Ian M. Anderson, C. Torre
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
We classify all generalized symmetries of the vacuum Einstein equations in four spacetime dimensions. They consist of constant scalings of the metric, and of the infinitesimal action of generalized spacetime diffeomorphisms. Our results rule out a large class of possible ‘‘observables’’ for the gravitational field, and suggest that the vacuum Einstein equations are not integrable.

Time-Discretization Of Hamiltonian Dynamical Systems, Yosi Shibberu
Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)
Difference equations for Hamiltonian systems are derived from a discrete variational principle. The difference equations completely determine piecewise-linear, continuous trajectories which exactly conserve the Hamiltonian function at the midpoints of each linear segment. A generating function exists for transformations between the vertices of the trajectories. Existence and uniqueness results are present as well as simulation results for a simple pendulum and an inverse square law system.

Applications Of The Wavelet Transform To Signal Analysis, Jie Chen '93
Applications Of The Wavelet Transform To Signal Analysis, Jie Chen '93
Honors Projects
Like the Fourier Transform, the Wavelet Transform decomposes signals as a superposition of simple units from which the original signals can be reconstructed. The Fourier Transform decomposes signals into sine and cosine functions of different frequencies, while the Wavelet Transform decomposes signals into wavelets. Since the Fourier Transform is a global integration transform and there is no time factor in it, it cannot effectively analyze nonstationary signals whose statistical properties change with time. In order to analyze nonstationary signals, we need to decompose signals into units that are localized in both the time and frequency domains. Using the Wavelet Transform …
