The Regular Excluded Minors For Signed-Graphic Matroids, Hongxun Qin, Dan Slilaty, Xiangqian Zhou
The Regular Excluded Minors For Signed-Graphic Matroids, Hongxun Qin, Dan Slilaty, Xiangqian Zhou
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
We show that the complete list of regular excluded minors for the class of signed-graphic matroids is M*(G1),...,M*(G29),R15,R16. Here G1,...,G29 are the vertically 2-connected excluded minors for the class of projective-planar graphs and R15 and R16 are two regular matroids that we will define in the article.
A Berry-Esseen Theorem For Sample Quantiles Under Weak Dependence, S. N. Lahiri, Shuxia Sun
A Berry-Esseen Theorem For Sample Quantiles Under Weak Dependence, S. N. Lahiri, Shuxia Sun
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
This paper proves a Berry-Esseen theorem for sample quantiles of strongly-mixing random variables under a polynomial mixing rate. The rate of normal approximation is shown to be O(n-1/2) as n -> infinity, where n denotes the sample size. This result is in sharp contrast to the case of the sample mean of strongly-mixing random variables where the rate O(n-1/2) is not known even under an exponential strong mixing rate. The main result of the paper has applications in finance and econometrics as financial time series important data often are heavy-tailed and quantile …
Periodic Traveling Waves In Sirs Endemic Models, Tong Li, Yi Li, Herbert W. Hethcote
Periodic Traveling Waves In Sirs Endemic Models, Tong Li, Yi Li, Herbert W. Hethcote
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Mathematical models are used to determine if infection wave fronts could occur by traveling geographically in a loop around a region or continent. These infection wave fronts arise by Hopf bifurcation for some spatial models for infectious disease transmission with distributed-contacts. Periodic traveling waves are shown to exist for the spatial analog of the SIRS endemic model, in which the temporary immunity is described by a delay, but they do not exist in a similar spatial SIRS endemic model without a delay. Specifically, we found that the ratio of the delay ω in the recovered class and the average infectious …

(0.1) Δu+K(|x|)up+μf(|x|)=0,
where p>1, x∈Rn, n⩾3, and μ⩾0 is a constant. We study the structure of positive radial solutions of (0.1) and obtain the uniqueness of solution decaying faster than r−m at ∞ if μ is small enough under some assumptions on K and f, where m is the slow decay rate.

The Signed-Graphic Representations Of Wheels And Whirls, Dan Slilaty, Hongxun Qin
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
We characterize all of the ways to represent the wheel matroids and whirl matroids using frame matroids of signed graphs. The characterization of wheels is in terms of topological duality in the projective plane and the characterization of whirls is in terms of topological duality in the annulus.

Origin Of Conductive Surface Layer In Annealed Zno, David C. Look, B. Claflin, Helen Smith
Origin Of Conductive Surface Layer In Annealed Zno, David C. Look, B. Claflin, Helen Smith
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
The highly conductive surface layers found in nearly all as-grown or annealed bulk ZnO wafers are studied by temperature-dependent Hall-effect and secondary-ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) measurements. In this work, we have used annealing in N2 at 900 degrees C, and forming gas (5% H2 in N2) at 600 degrees C, to cause a large enough surface conduction that SIMS measurements can be reliably employed. The increased near-surface donor density, as determined from two-layer Hall-effect modeling, is consistent with an increased near-surface concentration of Al, Ga, and In atoms, resulting from diffusion. There is no evidence for …

Step-Up Simultaneous Tests For Identifying Active Effects In Orthogonal Saturated Designs, Samuel S. Wu, Weizhen Wang
Step-Up Simultaneous Tests For Identifying Active Effects In Orthogonal Saturated Designs, Samuel S. Wu, Weizhen Wang
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
A sequence of null hypotheses regarding the number of negligible effects (zero effects) in orthogonal saturated designs is formulated. Two step-up simultaneous testing procedures are proposed to identify active effects (nonzero effects) under the commonly used assumption of effect sparsity. It is shown that each procedure controls the experimentwise error rate at a given alpha level in the strong sense.

A Comparison Of Graphical Methods For Assessing The Proportional Hazards Assumptions In The Cox Model, Inger Persson, Harry J. Khamis
A Comparison Of Graphical Methods For Assessing The Proportional Hazards Assumptions In The Cox Model, Inger Persson, Harry J. Khamis
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Six graphical procedures to check the assumption of proportional hazards for the Cox model are described and compared. A new way of comparing the graphical procedures using a Kolmogorov-Smirnov like maximum deviation criterion for rejection is derived for each procedure. The procedures are evaluated in a simulation study under proportional hazards and five different forms of nonproportional hazards: (1) increasing hazards, (2) decreasing hazards, (3) crossing hazards, (4) diverging hazards, and (5) nonmonotonic hazards. The procedures are compared in the two-sample case corresponding to two groups with different hazard functions. None of the procedures under consideration require partitioning of the …

A projective-planar signed graph has no two vertex-disjoint negative circles. We prove that every signed graph with no two vertex-disjoint negative circles and no balancing vertex is obtained by taking a projective-planar signed graph or a copy of −K5" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline-block; line-height: normal; font-size: 16.2px; word-spacing: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; position: relative;">−K5 and then taking 1-, 2-, and 3-sums with balanced signed grap
Allometric Extension For Multivariate Regression Models, Thaddeus Tarpey, Christopher T. Ivey
Allometric Extension For Multivariate Regression Models, Thaddeus Tarpey, Christopher T. Ivey
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
In multivariate regression, interest lies on how the response vector depends on a set of covariates. A multivariate regression model is proposed where the covariates explain variation in the response only in the direction of the first principal component axis. This model is not only parsimonious, but it provides an easy interpretation in allometric growth studies where the first principal component of the log-transformed data corresponds to constants of allometric growth. The proposed model naturally generalizes the two–group allometric extension model to the situation where groups differ according to a set of covariates. A bootstrap test for the model is …
Algebraic Characterizations Of Graph Imbeddability In Surfaces And Pseudosurfaces, Lowell Abrams, Dan Slilaty
Algebraic Characterizations Of Graph Imbeddability In Surfaces And Pseudosurfaces, Lowell Abrams, Dan Slilaty
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Given a finite connected graph G and specifications for a closed, connected pseudosurface, we characterize when G can be imbedded in a closed, connected pseudosurface with the given specifications. The specifications for the pseudosurface are: the number of face-connected components, the number of pinches, the number of crosscaps and handles, and the dimension of the first Z2-homology group. The characterizations are formulated in terms of the existence of a dual graph G ∗ on the same set of edges as G which satisfies algebraic conditions inspired by homology groups and their intersection products.

Electrical Properties Of Unintentionally Doped Semi-Insulating And Conducting 6h-Sic, William C. Mitchel, W. D. Mitchell, Z. Q. Fang, S. R. Smith, Helen Smith, Igor Khlebnikov, Y. I. Khlebnikov, C. Basceri, C. Balkas

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Temperature dependent Hall effect (TDH), low temperature photoluminescence (LTPL), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), optical admittance spectroscopy (OAS), and thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements have been made on 6H-SiC grown by the physical vapor transport technique without intentional doping. n- and p-type as well semi-insulating samples were studied to explore the compensation mechanism in semi-insulating high purity SiC. Nitrogen and boron were found from TDH and SIMS measurements to be the dominant impurities that must be compensated to produce semi-insulating properties. The electrical activation energy of the semi-insulating sample determined from the dependence of the resistivity …
On Adaptive Testing In Orthogonal Saturated Designs, Daniel T. Voss, Weizhen Wang
On Adaptive Testing In Orthogonal Saturated Designs, Daniel T. Voss, Weizhen Wang
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Adaptive, size-a step-down tests are provided for the analysis of orthogonal saturated designs. The tests work effectively under effect sparsity, and include as special cases the individual nonadaptive tests of Berk and Picard (1991) and the simultaneous nonadaptive tests of Voss (1988). The approach is similar to that used by Wang and Voss (2003) to construct adaptive confidence intervals, but testing is simpler because one can use the same denominator for all statistics. Step-down tests also have a clear power advantage over simultaneous confidence intervals and analogous single-step tests, as is demonstrated theoretically and assessed via simulation.
Computational Optical Biopsy, Yi Li, Ming Jiang, Ge Wang
Computational Optical Biopsy, Yi Li, Ming Jiang, Ge Wang
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Optical molecular imaging is based on fluorescence or bioluminescence, and hindered by photon scattering in the tissue, especially in patient studies. Here we propose a computational optical biopsy (COB) approach to localize and quantify a light source deep inside a subject. In contrast to existing optical biopsy techniques, our scheme is to collect optical signals directly from a region of interest along one or multiple biopsy paths in a subject, and then compute features of an underlying light source distribution. In this paper, we formulate this inverse problem in the framework of diffusion approximation, demonstrate the solution uniqueness properties in …

On Cographic Matroids And Signed-Graphic Matroids, Dan Slilaty
On Cographic Matroids And Signed-Graphic Matroids, Dan Slilaty
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
We prove that a connected cographic matroid of a graph G is the bias matroid of a signed graph Σ iff G imbeds in the projective plane. In the case that G is nonplanar, we also show that Σ must be the projective-planar dual signed graph of an actual imbedding of G in the projective plane. As a corollary we get that, if G1, . . . , G29 denote the 29 nonseparable forbidden minors for projective-planar graphs, then the cographic matroids of G1, . . . , G29 are among the forbidden minors for the class of bias matroids …
Uniqueness Theorems In Bioluminescence Tomography, Ge Wang, Yi Li, Ming Jiang
Uniqueness Theorems In Bioluminescence Tomography, Ge Wang, Yi Li, Ming Jiang
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Motivated by bioluminescent imaging needs for studies on gene therapy and other applications in the mouse models, a bioluminescence tomography (BLT) system is being developed in the University of Iowa. While the forward imaging model is described by the well-known diffusion equation, the inverse problem is to recover an internal bioluminescent source distribution subject to Cauchy data. Our primary goal in this paper is to establish the solution uniqueness for BLT under practical constraints despite the ill-posedness of the inverse problem in the general case. After a review on the inverse source literature, we demonstrate that in the general case …

The Dual Spectral Set Conjecture, Steen Pedersen
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Suppose that Λ = (aZ + b) ∪ (cZ + d) where a, b, c, d are real numbers such that a ≠ 0 and c ≠ 0. The union is not assumed to be disjoint. It is shown that the translates Ω + λ, λ is an element of Λ, tile the real line for some bounded measurable set Ω if and only if the exponentials eλ(x) = ei2πλx, λ is an element of Λ, form an orthogonal basis for some bounded measurable set Ω'.

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
A simple method is provided to construct a general class of individual and simultaneous confidence intervals for the effects in orthogonal saturated designs. These intervals use the data adaptively, maintain the confidence levels sharply at 1 - α at the least favorable parameter configuration, work effectively under effect sparsity, and include the intervals by Wang and Voss (2001) as a special case.

Our purpose is to study the global dynamics of solutions under mild decay of initial data as |x|→∞. We show the exact large time behaviour of solutions which is universal.
