Burglary Crime Analysis Using Logistic Regression, Daniel Antolos, Dahai Liu, Andrei Ludu, Dennis Vincenzi Jul 2013

Burglary Crime Analysis Using Logistic Regression, Daniel Antolos, Dahai Liu, Andrei Ludu, Dennis Vincenzi

Andrei Ludu

This study used a logistic regression model to investigate the relationship between several predicting factors and burglary occurrence probability with regard to the epicenter. These factors include day of the week, time of the day, repeated victimization, connectors and barriers. Data was collected from a local police report on 2010 burglary incidents. Results showed the model has various degrees of significance in terms of predicting the occurrence within difference ranges from the epicenter. Follow-up refined multiple comparisons of different sizes were observed to further discover the pattern of prediction strength of these factors. Results are discussed and further research directions …

A Non-Autonomous Second Order Boundary Value Problem On The Half-Line, Gregory S. Spradlin Oct 2010

A Non-Autonomous Second Order Boundary Value Problem On The Half-Line, Gregory S. Spradlin

Greg S. Spradlin Ph.D.

By variational arguments, the existence of a solution to a nonautonomous second-order boundary problem on the half-line is proven. The corresponding autonomous problem has no solution, revealing significant differences between the autonomous and the non-autonomous case.

Scattered Homoclinics To A Class Of Time-Recurrent Hamiltonian Systems, Gregory S. Spradlin Jul 2007

Scattered Homoclinics To A Class Of Time-Recurrent Hamiltonian Systems, Gregory S. Spradlin

Greg S. Spradlin Ph.D.

A second-order Hamiltonian system with time recurrence is studied. The recurrence condition is weaker than almost periodicity. The existence is proven of an infinite family of solutions homoclinic to zero whose support is spread out over the real line.


An Elliptic Equation With No Monotonicity Condition On The Nonlinearity, Gregory S. Spradlin Oct 2006

An Elliptic Equation With No Monotonicity Condition On The Nonlinearity, Gregory S. Spradlin

Greg S. Spradlin Ph.D.

An elliptic PDE is studied which is a perturbation of an autonomous equation. The existence of a nontrivial solution is proven via variational methods. The domain of the equation is unbounded, which imposes a lack of compactness on the variational problem. In addition, a popular monotonicity condition on the nonlinearity is not assumed. In an earlier paper with this assumption, a solution was obtained using a simple application of topological (Brouwer) degree. Here, a more subtle degree theory argument must be used.

Interfering Solutions Of A Nonhomogeneous Hamiltonian System, Gregory S. Spradlin Jan 2001

Interfering Solutions Of A Nonhomogeneous Hamiltonian System, Gregory S. Spradlin

Greg S. Spradlin Ph.D.

A Hamiltonian system is studied which has a term approaching a constant at an exponential rate at infinity. A minimax argument is used to show that the equation has a positive homoclinic solution. The proof employs the interaction between translated solutions of the corresponding homogeneous equation. What distinguishes this result from its few predecessors is that the equation has a nonhomogeneous nonlinearity.

Patterns On Liquid Surfaces: Cnoidal Waves, Compactons And Scaling, Andrei Ludu Jan 1998

Patterns On Liquid Surfaces: Cnoidal Waves, Compactons And Scaling, Andrei Ludu

Andrei Ludu

Localized patterns and nonlinear oscillation formation on the bounded free surface of an ideal incompressible liquid are analytically investigated. Cnoidal modes, solitons and compactons, as traveling non-axially symmetric shapes are discussed. A finite-difference differential generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation is shown to describe the three-dimensional motion of the fluid surface and the limit of long and shallow channels one re-obtains the well-known KdV equation. A tentative expansion formula for the representation of the general solution of a nonlinear equation, for given initial condition is introduced on a graphical-algebraic basis. The model is useful in multilayer fluid dynamics, cluster formation, and nuclear …
