Evolutionary Kuramoto Dynamics, Elizabeth A. Tripp, Feng Fu, Scott D. Pauls
Evolutionary Kuramoto Dynamics, Elizabeth A. Tripp, Feng Fu, Scott D. Pauls
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Biological systems have a variety of time-keeping mechanisms ranging from molecular clocks within cells to a complex interconnected unit across an entire organism. The suprachiasmatic nucleus, comprising interconnected oscillatory neurons, serves as a master-clock in mammals. The ubiquity of such systems indicates an evolutionary benefit that outweighs the cost of establishing and maintaining them, but little is known about the process of evolutionary development. To begin to address this shortfall, we introduce and analyse a new evolutionary game theoretic framework modelling the behaviour and evolution of systems of coupled oscillators. Each oscillator is characterized by a pair of dynamic behavioural …
Upward-Closed Hereditary Families In The Dominance Order, Michael D. Barrus, Jean A. Guillaume
Upward-Closed Hereditary Families In The Dominance Order, Michael D. Barrus, Jean A. Guillaume
Mathematics Faculty Publications
The majorization relation orders the degree sequences of simple graphs into posets called dominance orders. As shown by Ruch and Gutman (1979) and Merris (2002), the degree sequences of threshold and split graphs form upward-closed sets within the dominance orders they belong to, i.e., any degree sequence majorizing a split or threshold sequence must itself be split or threshold, respectively. Motivated by the fact that threshold graphs and split graphs have characterizations in terms of forbidden induced subgraphs, we define a class F of graphs to be dominance monotone if whenever no realization of e contains an element F as …

We investigate second-order generalized Beverton–Holt difference equations ... In particular, we will investigate the local and global dynamics in the event f is a certain type of linear or quadratic polynomial, and we explore the existence problem of period-two solutions.
Free Subgroups With Torsion Quotients And Profinite Subgroups With Torus Quotients, Wayne Lewis, Peter Loth, Adolf Mader
Free Subgroups With Torsion Quotients And Profinite Subgroups With Torus Quotients, Wayne Lewis, Peter Loth, Adolf Mader
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Here “group” means abelian group. Compact connected groups contain δ-subgroups, that is, compact totally disconnected subgroups with torus quotients, which are essential ingredients in the important Resolution Theorem, a description of compact groups. Dually, full free subgroups of discrete torsion-free groups of finite rank are studied in order to obtain a comprehensive picture of the abundance of δ-subgroups of a protorus. Associated concepts are also considered.
Global Dynamic Scenarios For Competitive Maps In The Plane, Elliott J. Bertrand, M.R.S. Kulenovic
Global Dynamic Scenarios For Competitive Maps In The Plane, Elliott J. Bertrand, M.R.S. Kulenovic
Mathematics Faculty Publications
In this paper we present some global dynamic scenarios for general competitive maps in the plane. We apply these results to the class of second-order autonomous difference equations whose transition functions are decreasing in the variable \(x_{n}\) and increasing in the variable \(x_{n-1}\).We illustrate our results with the application to the difference equation ...

The Classification Of Infinite Abelian Groups With Partial Decomposition Bases In L∞Ω, Carol Jacoby, Peter Loth
The Classification Of Infinite Abelian Groups With Partial Decomposition Bases In L∞Ω, Carol Jacoby, Peter Loth
Mathematics Faculty Publications
We consider the class of abelian groups with partial decomposition bases, which includes groups classified by Ulm, Warfield, Stanton and others. We define an invariant and classify these groups in the language L∞ω, or equivalently, up to partial isomorphism. This generalizes a result of Barwise and Eklof and builds on Jacoby's classification of local groups with partial decomposition bases in L∞ω.
The Classification Of Zp -Modules With Partial Decomposition Bases In L∞Ω, Carol Jacoby, Peter Loth
The Classification Of Zp -Modules With Partial Decomposition Bases In L∞Ω, Carol Jacoby, Peter Loth
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Ulm’s Theorem presents invariants that classify countable abelian torsion groups up to isomorphism. Barwise and Eklof extended this result to the classification of arbitrary abelian torsion groups up to L∞ω-equivalence. In this paper, we extend this classification to a class of mixed Zp-modules which includes all Warfield modules and is closed under L∞ω-equivalence. The defining property of these modules is the existence of what we call a partial decomposition basis, a generalization of the concept of decomposition basis. We prove a complete classification theorem in L∞ω using invariants deduced from the classical Ulm and Warfield invariants.
The Unimodality Of Pure O-Sequences Of Type Two In Four Variables, Bernadette Boyle
The Unimodality Of Pure O-Sequences Of Type Two In Four Variables, Bernadette Boyle
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Since the 1970's, great interest has been taken in the study of pure O-sequences, which, due to Macaulay's theory of inverse systems, have a bijective correspondence to the Hilbert functions of Artinian level monomial algebras. Much progress has been made in classifying these according to their shape. Macaulay's theorem immediately gives us that all Artinian algebras in two variables have unimodal Hilbert functions. Furthermore, it has been shown that all Artinian level monomial algebras of type two in three variables have unimodal Hilbert functions. This paper will classify all Artinian level monomial algebras of type two in four variables into …

The Unimodality Of Pure O-Sequences Of Type Three In Three Variables, Bernadette Boyle
The Unimodality Of Pure O-Sequences Of Type Three In Three Variables, Bernadette Boyle
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Since the 1970’s, great interest has been taken in the study of pure O-sequences, which are in bijective correspondence to the Hilbert functions of Artinian level monomial algebras. Much progress has been made in classifying these by their shape. It has been shown that all monomial complete intersections, Artinian algebras in two variables and Artinian level monomial algebras with type two in both three and four variables have unimodal Hilbert functions. This paper proves that Artinian level monomial algebras of type three in three variables have unimodal Hilbert functions. We will also discuss the licciness of these algebras.
Zp-Modules With Partial Decomposition Bases In L Δ ∞Ω, Carol Jacoby, Peter Loth
Zp-Modules With Partial Decomposition Bases In L Δ ∞Ω, Carol Jacoby, Peter Loth
Mathematics Faculty Publications
We consider the class of mixed Zp-modules with partial decomposition bases. This class includes those modules classified by Ulm and Warfield and is closed under L∞ω-equivalence. In the context of L∞ω- equivalence, Jacoby defined invariants for this class and proved a classification theorem. Here we examine this class relative to Lδ∞ω, those formulas of quantifier rank ≤ some ordinal δ, defining invariants and proving a classification theorem. This generalizes a result of Barwise and Eklof.

An Explicit Construction Of Kleinian Groups With Small Limit Sets, Andrew Lazowski

This paper provides an explicit construction of Kleinian groups that have small Hausdorff dimension of their limit sets. It is known that such groups exist and they can be constructed by results of Patterson. The purpose here is to work out the methods of calculation.
Horizon Content Knowledge In The Work Of Teaching: A Focus On Planning, Nick Wasserman, Julianna Connelly Stockton
Horizon Content Knowledge In The Work Of Teaching: A Focus On Planning, Nick Wasserman, Julianna Connelly Stockton
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Horizon content knowledge, one component of Ball et al.’s mathematical knowledge for teaching framework (e.g., Ball, Thames, & Phelps, 2008), has yet to reach adequate clarity and consensus in the field. Recently, various scholars have worked to further conceptualize and describe the mathematical horizon (e.g., Jakobsen, Thames & Ribeiro, 2013; Figueiras et al., 2011; Zazkis & Mamolo, 2011). In this communication, we identify some limitations in the ways such knowledge has thus far been described and offer an additional form of potential impact of horizon content knowledge on the work of teaching.

Abelian Groups With Partial Decomposition Bases In LΔ∞Ω, Part I, Carol Jacoby, Katrin Leistner, Peter Loth, Lutz Strungmann
Mathematics Faculty Publications
We consider the class of abelian groups possessing partial decomposition bases in Lδ∞ω for δ an ordinal. This class contains the class of Warfield groups which are direct summands of simply presented groups or, alternatively, are abelian groups possessing a nice decomposition basis with simply presented cokernel. We prove a classification theorem using numerical invariants that are deduced from the classical Ulm-Kaplansky and Warfield invariants. This extends earlier work by Barwise-Eklof, Göbel and the authors.
Finite Factors Of Bernoulli Schemes And Distinguishing Labelings Of Directed Graphs, Andrew Lazowski, Stephen M. Shea
Finite Factors Of Bernoulli Schemes And Distinguishing Labelings Of Directed Graphs, Andrew Lazowski, Stephen M. Shea
Mathematics Faculty Publications
A labeling of a graph is a function from the vertices of the graph to some finite set. In 1996, Albertson and Collins defined distinguishing labelings of undirected graphs. Their definition easily extends to directed graphs. Let G be a directed graph associated to the k -block presentation of a Bernoulli scheme X . We determine the automorphism group of G , and thus the distinguishing labelings of G . A labeling of G defines a finite factor of X . We define demarcating labelings and prove that demarcating labelings define finitarily Markovian finite factors of X . We use …
Abelian Groups With Partial Decomposition Bases In LΔ∞Ω, Part Ii, Carol Jacoby, Peter Loth
Abelian Groups With Partial Decomposition Bases In LΔ∞Ω, Part Ii, Carol Jacoby, Peter Loth
Mathematics Faculty Publications
We consider abelian groups with partial decomposition bases in Lδ∞ω for ordinals δ. Jacoby, Leistner, Loth and Str¨ungmann developed a numerical invariant deduced from the classical global Warfield invariant and proved that if two groups have identical modified Warfield invariants and Ulm-Kaplansky invariants up to ωδ for some ordinal δ, then they are equivalent in Lδ∞ω. Here we prove that the modified Warfield invariant is expressible in Lδ∞ω and hence the converse is true for appropriate δ.
Mathematical Competitions In Hungary: Promoting A Tradition Of Excellence & Creativity, Julianna Connelly Stockton
Mathematical Competitions In Hungary: Promoting A Tradition Of Excellence & Creativity, Julianna Connelly Stockton
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Hungary has long been known for its outstanding production of mathematical talent. Extracurricular programs such as camps and competitions form a strong foundation within the Hungarian tradition. New types of competitions in recent years include team competitions, multiple choice competitions, and some exclusively for students who are not in a special mathematics class. This study explores some of the recent developments in Hungarian mathematics competitions and the potential implications these changes have for the very competition-driven system that currently exists. The founding of so many new competitions reflects a possible shift in the focus and purpose of competitions away from …
Infinitary Equivalence Of Zp- Modules With Nice Decomposition Bases, Rüdiger Göbel, Katrin Leistner, Peter Loth, Lutz Strüngmann
Infinitary Equivalence Of Zp- Modules With Nice Decomposition Bases, Rüdiger Göbel, Katrin Leistner, Peter Loth, Lutz Strüngmann
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Warfield modules are direct summands of simply presented Zp - modules, or, alternatively, are Zp - modules possessing a nice decomposition basis with simply presented cokernel. They have been classified up to isomorphism by theor Ilm-Kaplansky and Warfield invariants. Taking a model theoretic point of view and using infinitary languages we give here a complete theoretic characterization of a large class of Zp - modules having a nice decomposition basis. As a corollary, we obtain the classical classification of countable Warfield modules. This generalizes results by Barwise and Eklof.

On Determining Paint By Numbers Puzzles With Nonunique Solutions, Ryan Mullen
On Determining Paint By Numbers Puzzles With Nonunique Solutions, Ryan Mullen
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Paint by Numbers is a classic logic puzzle in which the squares of a p×n grid are to be colored in such a way as to display a picture. The decision on which squares to color is determined by sequences of numbers above each column and to the left of each row. The numbers describe how many consecutive squares are to be colored in that row or column, and multiple numbers represent multiple blocks of colored in squares (with at least one uncolored square in between blocks). Certain natural questions arise. For a given p × n grid, how many …
On T-Pure And Almost Pure Exact Sequences Of Lca Groups, Peter Loth
On T-Pure And Almost Pure Exact Sequences Of Lca Groups, Peter Loth
Mathematics Faculty Publications
A proper short exact sequence in the category of locally compact abelian groups is said to be t-pure if φ(A) is a topologically pure subgroup of B, that is, if for all positive integers n. We establish conditions under which t-pure exact sequences split and determine those locally compact abelian groups K ⊕ D (where K is compactly generated and D is discrete) which are t-pure injective or t-pure projective. Calling the extension (*) almost pure if for all positive integers n, we obtain a complete description of the almost pure injectives and almost pure projectives in the category of …
Pure Extensions Of Locally Compact Abelian Groups, Peter Loth
Pure Extensions Of Locally Compact Abelian Groups, Peter Loth
Mathematics Faculty Publications
In this paper, we study the group Pext(C,A) for locally compact abelian (LCA) groups A and C. Sufficient conditions are established for Pext(C,A) to coincide with the first Ulm subgroup of Ext(C,A). Some structural information on pure injectives in the category of LCA groups is obtained. Letting K denote the class of LCA groups which can be written as the topological direct sum of a compactly generated group and a discrete group, we determine the groups G in K which are pure injective in the category of LCA groups. Finally we describe those groups G in K such that every …
Compact Topologically Torsion Elements Of Topological Abelian Groups, Peter Loth
Compact Topologically Torsion Elements Of Topological Abelian Groups, Peter Loth
Mathematics Faculty Publications
In this note, we prove that in a Hausdorff topological abelian group, the closed subgroup generated by all compact elements is equal to teh closed subgroup generated by all compact elements which are topologically p-torsion for some prime p. In particular, this yields a new, short solution to a question raised by Armacost [A]. Using Pontrjagin duality, we obtain new descriptions of the identity component of a locally compact abelian group.
Primitive Ideals Of Semigroup Graded Rings, Hema Gopalakrishnan
Primitive Ideals Of Semigroup Graded Rings, Hema Gopalakrishnan
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Prime ideals of strong semigroup graded rings have been characterized by Bell, Stalder and Teply for some important classes of semigroups. The prime ideals correspond to certain families of ideals of the component rings called prime families. In this paper, we define the notion of a primitive family and show that primitive ideals of such rings correspond to primitive families of ideals of the component rings.
The Structure Of Residuated Lattices, Kevin K. Blount, Constantine Tsinakis
The Structure Of Residuated Lattices, Kevin K. Blount, Constantine Tsinakis
Mathematics Faculty Publications
A residuated lattice is an ordered algebraic structure [formula] such that is a lattice, is a monoid, and \ and / are binary operations for which the equivalences [formula] hold for all a,b,c ∈ L. It is helpful to think of the last two operations as left and right division and thus the equivalences can be seen as "dividing" on the right by b and "dividing" on the left by a. The class of all residuated lattices is denoted by ℛℒ The study of such objects originated in the context of the theory of ring ideals in the 1930s. The …
