A Topological Approach To Nonlinear Analysis, Wendy Ann Peske Jan 2005

A Topological Approach To Nonlinear Analysis, Wendy Ann Peske

Theses Digitization Project

A topological approach to nonlinear analysis allows for strikingly beautiful proofs and simplified calculations. This topological approach employs many of the ideas of continuous topology, including convergence, compactness, metrization, complete metric spaces, uniform spaces and function spaces. This thesis illustrates using the topological approach in proving the Cauchy-Peano Existence theorem. The topological proof utilizes the ideas of complete metric spaces, Ascoli-Arzela theorem, topological properties in Euclidean n-space and normed linear spaces, and the extension of Brouwer's fixed point theorem to Schauder's fixed point theorem, and Picard's theorem.

Optimization Of A Sequential Alignment Verification And Positioning System (Savps) For Proton Radiosurgery, Mahesh Raj Neupane Jan 2005

Optimization Of A Sequential Alignment Verification And Positioning System (Savps) For Proton Radiosurgery, Mahesh Raj Neupane

Theses Digitization Project

Functional proton-beam stereotactic radiosurgery requires sub-millimeter alignment accuracy. A patient tracking system called Sequential Alignment and Position Verification System (SAVPS) is under development at Loma Linda University Medical Center. An optical positioning system (OPS), manufactured by Vicon Peak, has been chosen to verify the correct alignment of the target with the proton beam axis. The main objective of this thesis is to optimize an existing version of SAVPS by conducting error analysis. An image processing algorithm was developed and applied to estimate the error introduced by the Patient Positioning System (PPS) in order to derive the true error of the …

Root Subgroups Of The Rank Two Unitary Groups, Matthew Thomas Henes Jan 2005

Root Subgroups Of The Rank Two Unitary Groups, Matthew Thomas Henes

Theses Digitization Project

Discusses certain one-parameter subgroups of the low-rank unitary groups called root subgroups. Unitary groups also have representations of Lie type which means they consist of transformations that act as automorphisms of an underlying Lie algebra, in this case the special linear algebra. Exploring this definition of the unitary groups, we find a correlation, via exponentiation, to the basis elements of Lie algebra.
