The Behavior Of Normality When Iteratively Finding The Normal To A Line In An Lp Geometry, David L. Farnsworth, Joshua M. Fitzhugh
The Behavior Of Normality When Iteratively Finding The Normal To A Line In An Lp Geometry, David L. Farnsworth, Joshua M. Fitzhugh
Articles
The normal direction to the normal direction to a line in Minkowski geometries generally does not give the original line. We show that in lp geometries with p > 1 repeatedly finding the normal line through the origin gives sequences of lines that monotonically approach specific lines of symmetry of the unit circle. Which lines of symmetry that are approached depends upon the value of p and the slope of the initial line.
A Construction That Produces Wallis-Type Formulas, Joshua M. Fitzhugh, David L. Farnsworth
A Construction That Produces Wallis-Type Formulas, Joshua M. Fitzhugh, David L. Farnsworth
Articles
Generalizations of the geometric construction that repeatedly attaches rectangles to a square, originally given by Myer- son, are presented. The initial square is replaced with a rectangle, and also the dimensionality of the construction is increased. By selecting values for the various parameters, such as the lengths of the sides of the original rectangle or rectangular box in dimensions more than two and their relationships to the size of the attached rectangles or rectangular boxes, some interesting formulas are found. Examples are Wallis-type infinite-product formulas for the areas of p-circles with p > 1.

Counting The Number Of Squares Reachable In K Knight's Moves., Amanda M. Miller, David L. Farnsworth
Articles
from its initial position on an infinite chessboard are derived. The number of squares reachable in exactly k moves are 1, 8, 32, 68, and 96 for k = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, and 28k – 20 for k ≥ 5. The cumulative number of squares reach- able in k or fever moves are 1, 9, 41, and 109 for k = 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and 14k-squared – 6k + 5 for k ≥ 4. Although these formulas are known, the proofs that are presented are new and more mathematically accessible then preceding proofs.

On The Quadratic Bundles Related To Hermitian Symmetric Spaces, Tihomir Valchev
On The Quadratic Bundles Related To Hermitian Symmetric Spaces, Tihomir Valchev
Articles
We develop the direct scattering problem for quadratic bundles associated to Hermitian symmetric spaces. We adapt the dressing method for quadratic bundles which allows us to find special solutions to multicomponent derivative Schrodinger equation for instance. The latter is an infinite dimensional Hamiltonian system possessing infinite number of integrals of motion. We demonstrate how one can derive them by block diagonalization of the corresponding Lax pair.
Knight's Tours On 3 X N Chessboards With A Single Square Removed, Amanda M. Miller, David L. Farnsworth
Knight's Tours On 3 X N Chessboards With A Single Square Removed, Amanda M. Miller, David L. Farnsworth
Articles
The following theorem is proved: A knight’s tour exists on all 3 x n chessboards with one square removed unless: n is even, the removed square is (i, j) with i + j odd, n = 3 when any square other than the center square is removed, n = 5, n = 7 when any square other than square (2, 2) or (2, 6) is removed, n = 9 when square (1, 3), (3, 3), (1, 7), (3, 7), (2, 4), (2, 6), (2, 2), or (2, 8) is removed, or n = 11 when square (1, 3), (2, 4), …
Particle Trajectories In Extreme Stokes Waves Over Inifinte Depth, Tony Lyons
Particle Trajectories In Extreme Stokes Waves Over Inifinte Depth, Tony Lyons
Articles
We investigate the velocity field of fluid particles in an extreme water wave over infinite depth. It is shown that the trajectories of the particles within the fluid and along the free surface do not form closed paths over the course of one period, but rather undergo a positive drift in the direction of wave propagation. In addition it is shown that the wave crest cannot form a stagnation point despite the velocity of the fluid being zero there.
Mass Transfer From A Vertical Flat Plate Due To Natural Convection With A Constant Counterflow, David Mcdonnell, Brendan Redmond, Lawrence J. Crane
Mass Transfer From A Vertical Flat Plate Due To Natural Convection With A Constant Counterflow, David Mcdonnell, Brendan Redmond, Lawrence J. Crane
Articles
This paper first examines the mass transfer from a vertical flat surface of a soluble material due to natural convection. A perturbation term is then introduced into the stream function to model the introduction of a constant counterflow. The effect this counterflow has on both the overall mass transfer and the overall velocity profile is studied in detail.
Mass Transfer From A Vertical Flat Plate Due To A Constant Upward Flow, David Mcdonnell, Brendan Redmond, Lawrence J. Crane
Mass Transfer From A Vertical Flat Plate Due To A Constant Upward Flow, David Mcdonnell, Brendan Redmond, Lawrence J. Crane
Articles
This paper examines the mass transfer from a vertical flat surface of a soluble material due to a constant upward flow. The mass transfer rate due to this upward flow is calculated and used to obtain the distance along the surface at which the boundary layer separates. For relatively large velocities no separation will occur and the solution approaches that of forced convection on a horizontal surface.
Weyl-Titchmarsh Type Formula For Periodic Schrodinger Operator With Wigner-Von Neumann Potential, Sergey Simonov, Pavel Kurasov
Weyl-Titchmarsh Type Formula For Periodic Schrodinger Operator With Wigner-Von Neumann Potential, Sergey Simonov, Pavel Kurasov
Articles
Schroedinger operator on the half-line with periodic background potential perturbed by a certain potential of Wigner-von Neumann type is considered. The asymptotics of generalized eigenvectors for the values of the spectral parameter from the upper half-plane and on the absolutely continuous spectrum is established. Weyl-Titchmarsh type formula for this operator is proven.
Eigenfunction Expansions Associated With The One-Dimensional Schrödinger Operator, Daphne Gilbert
Eigenfunction Expansions Associated With The One-Dimensional Schrödinger Operator, Daphne Gilbert
Articles
We consider the form of eigenfunction expansions associated with the time-independent Schrödinger operator on the line, under the assumption that the limit point case holds at both of the infinite endpoints. It is well known that in this situation the multiplicity of the operator may be one or two, depending on properties of the potential function. Moreover, for values of the spectral parameter in the upper half complex plane, there exist Weyl solutions associated with the restrictions of the operator to the negative and positive half-lines respectively, together with corresponding Titchmarsh-Weyl functions.
Bayesian Model Selection For Exponential Random Graph Models, Alberto Caimo, Nial Friel
Bayesian Model Selection For Exponential Random Graph Models, Alberto Caimo, Nial Friel
Articles
Exponential random graph models are a class of widely used exponential family models for social networks. The topological structure of an observed network is modelled by the relative prevalence of a set of local sub-graph configurations termed network statistics. One of the key tasks in the application of these models is which network statistics to include in the model. This can be thought of as statistical model selection problem. This is a very challenging problem---the posterior distribution for each model is often termed ``doubly intractable'' since computation of the likelihood is rarely available, but also, the evidence of the posterior …
Endomorphisms Of Abelian Groups With Small Algebraic Entropy, D. Dikranjan, Ketao Gong, P. Zanardo
Endomorphisms Of Abelian Groups With Small Algebraic Entropy, D. Dikranjan, Ketao Gong, P. Zanardo
Articles
We study the endomorphisms ϕ of abelian groups G having a “small” algebraic entropy h (where “small” usually means ). Using essentially elementary tools from linear algebra, we show that this study can be carried out in the group , where an automorphism ϕ with must have all eigenvalues in the open circle of radius 2, centered at 0 and ϕ must leave invariant a lattice in , i.e., be essentially an automorphism of . In particular, all eigenvalues of an automorphism ϕ with must be roots of unity. This is a particular case of a more general fact known …
Extreme Wave Events In Ireland: 14 680 Bp–2012, Laura Cooke, John M. Dudley, Frédéric Dias
Extreme Wave Events In Ireland: 14 680 Bp–2012, Laura Cooke, John M. Dudley, Frédéric Dias
Articles
The island of Ireland is battered by waves from all sides, most ferociously on the west coast as the first port of call for waves travelling across the Atlantic Ocean. However, when discussing ocean events relevant to the nation of Ire- land, one must actually consider its significantly larger designated continental shelf, which is one of the largest seabed territories in Europe. With this expanded definition, it is not surprising that Ireland has been subject to many oceanic events which could be designated as “extreme”; in this paper we present what we believe to be the first catalogue of such …
Spectral Multiplicity Of Selfadjoint Schrodinger Operators On Star-Graphs With Standard Interface Conditions, Sergey Simonov, Harald Woracek
Spectral Multiplicity Of Selfadjoint Schrodinger Operators On Star-Graphs With Standard Interface Conditions, Sergey Simonov, Harald Woracek
Articles
We analyze the singular spectrum of selfadjoint operators which arise from pasting a finite number of boundary relations with a standard interface condition. A model example for this situation is a Schroedinger operator on a star-shaped graph with continuity and Kirchhoff conditions at the interior vertex. We compute the multiplicity of the singular spectrum in terms of the spectral measures of the Weyl functions associated with the single (independently considered) boundary relations. This result is a generalization and refinement of Theorem of I.S. Kac.
On The Persistence Properties Of The Cross-Coupled Camassa-Holm System, David Henry, Darryl Holm, Rossen Ivanov
On The Persistence Properties Of The Cross-Coupled Camassa-Holm System, David Henry, Darryl Holm, Rossen Ivanov
Articles
In this paper we examine the evolution of solutions, that initially have compact support, of a recently-derived system of cross-coupled Camassa-Holm equations. The analytical methods which we employ provide a full picture for the persistence of compact support for the momenta. For solutions of the system itself, the answer is more convoluted, and we determine when the compactness of the support is lost, replaced instead by an exponential decay rate.

Mathematical Modelling At Secondary School: The Macsi-Clongowes Wood College Experience, J.P.F. Charpin, S. O'Hara, Dana Mackey
Articles
In Ireland, to encourage the study of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects and particularly mathematics, the Mathematics Applications Consortium for Science and Industry (MACSI) and Clongowes Wood College (County Kildare, Ireland) organized a mathematical modelling workshop for senior cycle secondary school students. Participants developed simple mathematical models for everyday life problems with an open-ended answer. The format and content of the workshop are described and feedback from both students and participating teachers is provided. For nearly all participants, this workshop was an enjoyable experience which showed mathematics and other STEM components in a very positive way.
G-Strands And Peakon Collisions On Diff(R), Darryl Holm, Rossen Ivanov
G-Strands And Peakon Collisions On Diff(R), Darryl Holm, Rossen Ivanov
Articles
A G-strand is a map g : R x R --> G for a Lie group G that follows from Hamilton's principle for a certain class of G-invariant Lagrangians. Some G-strands on finite-dimensional groups satisfy 1+1 space-time evolutionary equations that admit soliton solutions as completely integrable Hamiltonian systems. For example, the SO(3)-strand equations may be regarded physically as integrable dynamics for solitons on a continuous spin chain. Previous work has shown that G-strands for diffeomorphisms on the real line possess solutions with singular support (e.g. peakons). This paper studies collisions of such singular solutions of G-strands when G = Diff( …
