Rational Cubic B-Spline Interpolation And Its Applications In Computer Aided Geometric Design, Kotien Wu
Rational Cubic B-Spline Interpolation And Its Applications In Computer Aided Geometric Design, Kotien Wu
Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations
Because of the flexibility that the weights and the control points provide, NURBS have recently become very popular tools for the design of curves and surfaces. If the weights are positive then the NURB will lie in the convex hull of its control points and will not possess singularities. Thus it is desirable to have positive weights.
In utilizing a NURB a designer may desire that it pass through a set of data points {xi} This interpolation problem is solved by the assigning of weights to each data point. Up to now little has been known regarding the …
Some Sampling Designs And Estimation Problems, Hassan Lakkis
Some Sampling Designs And Estimation Problems, Hassan Lakkis
Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations
In the first chapter we review some standard estimators in sampling from a finite population, and some design-based estimators in sampling from a continuous universe.
In concert with the theory initiated by professor Douglas Robson (personal communication) and later presented by Cordy (1993), we consider design-based variance estimation for probability sampling from a continuous and spatially distributed universe. Using this theory in chapter two, the sampling design of one random point from each cell of a translated grid is investigated and the problem of edge effects on estimation is illustrated with examples. Also in chapter four, standard systematic sampling methods …

Prediction Of The Stochastic Behavior Of Nonlinear Systems By Deterministic Models As A Classical Time-Passage Probabilistic Problem, L. M. Ivanov, A. D. Kirwan Jr., O. V. Melnichenko
CCPO Publications
Assuming that the behaviour of a nonlinear stochastic system can be described by a Markovian diffusion approximation and that the evolution equations can be reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations, a method for the calculation of prediction time is developed. In this approach, the prediction time depends upon the accuracy of prediction, the intensity of turbulence, the accuracy of the initial conditions, the physics contained in the mathematical model, the measurement errors, and the number of prediction variables. A numerical application to zonal channel flow illustrates the theory. Some possible generalizations of the theory are also discussed.
On Cohesion Stable Graphs, Virginia Rice, Richard D. Ringeisen
On Cohesion Stable Graphs, Virginia Rice, Richard D. Ringeisen
Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications
The cohesion of a graph was introduced to model vulnerability of a graph relative to the neighborhoods of its vertices. We are concerned in this paper with the changes in this parameter when an edge is deleted. In particular, after displaying some results on stability under edge destruction, we go on to display various infinite classes of cohesion stable graphs. Several ways in which graphs or parts of graphs may be combined to produce stable graphs are also presented, along with a look at what cannot be stated at this time.
Characterization Of The Local Lipschitz Constant, M. W. Bartelt, J. J. Swetits
Characterization Of The Local Lipschitz Constant, M. W. Bartelt, J. J. Swetits
Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications
A characterization, using polynomials introduced by A. V. Kolushov, is given for the local Lipschitz constant for the best approximation operator in Chebyshev approximation from a Haar set. The characterization is then used to study the existence of uniform local Lipschitz constants.
Multigrid Acceleration Of Time-Dependent Solutions Of Navier-Stokes Equations, Sarafa Oladele Ibraheem
Multigrid Acceleration Of Time-Dependent Solutions Of Navier-Stokes Equations, Sarafa Oladele Ibraheem
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Recent progress in Computational Fluid Dynamics is encouraging scientists to look at fine details of flow physics of problems in which natural unsteady phenomena have hitherto been neglected. The acceleration methods that have proven very successful in steady state computations can be explored for time dependent computations. In this work, an efficient multigrid methods is developed to solve the time-dependent Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. The Beam-Warming ADI method is used as the base algorithm for time stepping calculations. Application of the developed algorithm proved very efficient in selected steady and unsteady test problems. For instance, the inherent unsteadiness present in …
Invariant Manifolds Of A Toy Climate Model, Michael Toner
Invariant Manifolds Of A Toy Climate Model, Michael Toner
Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations
According to astronomical theory, ice ages are caused by variations in the Earth's orbit. However, ice core data shows strong fluctuations in ice volume at a low frequency not significantly present in orbital variations. To understand how this might occur, the dynamics of a two dimensional nonlinear differential equation representing glacier/temperature interaction of an idealized climate was studied. Self sustained oscillation of the autonomous equation was used to model the internal mechanisms that could produce these fluctuations. Periodic parametric modulation of a damped internal oscillation was used to model periodic climate response at double the external modulation period. Both phenomena …
