So you came across several news pieces about Wolfram|Alpha and you’re wondering what all the fuss is about. Let’s start with the basics.


Predicting The Drug Release Kinetics Of Matrix Tablets, Boris Baeumer, Lipika Chatterjee, Peter Hinow, Thomas Rades, Ami E. Radunskaya, Ian Tucker Jan 2009

Predicting The Drug Release Kinetics Of Matrix Tablets, Boris Baeumer, Lipika Chatterjee, Peter Hinow, Thomas Rades, Ami E. Radunskaya, Ian Tucker

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

In this paper we develop two mathematical models to predict the release kinetics of a water soluble drug from a polymer/excipient matrix tablet. The first of our models consists of a random walk on a weighted graph, where the vertices of the graph represent particles of a drug, excipient and polymer, respectively. The graph itself is the contact graph of a multidisperse random sphere packing. The second model describes the dissolution and the subsequent diffusion of the active drug out of a porous matrix using a system of a partial differential equations. The predictions of both models show good qualitative …

Complex Symmetric Partial Isometries, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Warren R. Wogen Jan 2009

Complex Symmetric Partial Isometries, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Warren R. Wogen

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

An operator $T \in B(\h)$ is complex symmetric if there exists a conjugate-linear, isometric involution $C:\h\to\h$ so that $T = CT^*C$. We provide a concrete description of all complex symmetric partial isometries. In particular, we prove that any partial isometry on a Hilbert space of dimension $\leq 4$ is complex symmetric.


Truncated Toeplitz Operators: Spatial Isomorphism, Unitary Equivalence, And Similarity, Joseph A. Cima, Stephan Ramon Garcia, William T. Ross, Warren R. Wogen Jan 2009

Truncated Toeplitz Operators: Spatial Isomorphism, Unitary Equivalence, And Similarity, Joseph A. Cima, Stephan Ramon Garcia, William T. Ross, Warren R. Wogen

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

A truncated Toeplitz operator A φ : K Θ → K Θ is the compression of a Toeplitz operator T φ : H 2 → H 2 to a model space K Θ ≔ H 2 ⊖ Θ H 2 . For Θ inner, let T Θ denote the set of all bounded truncated Toeplitz operators on K Θ . Our main result is a necessary and sufficient condition on inner functions Θ 1 and Θ 2 which guarantees that T Θ 1 and T Θ 2 are spatially isomorphic (i.e., U T Θ 1 = T Θ 2 U …


Every Graph Has An Embedding In S³ Containing No Non-Hyperbolic Knot, Erica Flapan, Hugh Howards Jan 2009

Every Graph Has An Embedding In S³ Containing No Non-Hyperbolic Knot, Erica Flapan, Hugh Howards

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

In contrast with knots, whose properties depend only on their extrinsic topology in , there is a rich interplay between the intrinsic structure of a graph and the extrinsic topology of all embeddings of the graph in . For example, it was shown by Conway and Gordon that every embedding of the complete graph K_7 in contains a non-trivial knot. Later it was shown that for every m ∈ N there is a complete graph K_n such that every embedding of K_n in contains a knot Q whose minimal crossing number is at least m. …

The Norm And Modulus Of A Foguel Operator, Stephan Ramon Garcia Jan 2009

The Norm And Modulus Of A Foguel Operator, Stephan Ramon Garcia

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

We develop a method for calculating the norm and the spectrum of the modulus of a Foguel operator. In many cases, the norm can be computed exactly. In others, sharp upper bounds are obtained. In particular, we observe several connections between Foguel operators and the Golden Ratio.
