Studying Extended Sets From Young Tableaux, Eric Nofziger
Studying Extended Sets From Young Tableaux, Eric Nofziger
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
Young tableaux are combinatorial objects related to the partitions of an integer and have various applications in representation theory. They are particularly useful in the study of the fibers arising from the Springer resolution. In recent work of Graham-Precup-Russell, an association has been made between a given row-strict tableau and three disjoint subsets of {1,2,...,n}. These subsets are then used in the study of extended Springer fibers, so we call them extended sets. In this project, we use combinatorial techniques to classify which of these extended sets correlate to a valid row-strict or standard tableau and give bounds on the …
On The Smallest Non-Trivial Action Of Saut(Fn) For Small N, Reemon Spector
On The Smallest Non-Trivial Action Of Saut(Fn) For Small N, Reemon Spector
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
In this paper we investigate actions of SAut(Fn), the unique index 2 subgroup of Aut(Fn), on small sets, improving upon results by Baumeister--Kielak--Pierro for several small values of n. Using a computational approach for n ⩾ 5, we show that every action of SAut(Fn) on a set containing fewer than 20 elements is trivial.
Generalizations Of Commutativity In Dihedral Groups, Noah A. Heckenlively
Generalizations Of Commutativity In Dihedral Groups, Noah A. Heckenlively
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
The probability that two elements commute in a non-Abelian finite group is at most 5 8 . We prove several generalizations of this result for dihedral groups. In particular, we give specific values for the probability that a product of an arbitrary number of dihedral group elements is equal to its reverse, and also for the probability that a product of three elements is equal to a permutation of itself or to a cyclic permutation of itself. We also show that for any r and n, there exists a dihedral group such that the probability that a product of n …
On Cantor Sets Defined By Generalized Continued Fractions, Danielle Hedvig, Masha Gorodetski
On Cantor Sets Defined By Generalized Continued Fractions, Danielle Hedvig, Masha Gorodetski
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
We study a special class of generalized continuous fractions, both in real and complex settings, and show that in many cases, the set of numbers that can be represented by a continued fraction for that class form a Cantor set. Specifically, we study generalized continued fractions with a fixed absolute value and a variable coefficient sign. We ask the same question in the complex setting, allowing the coefficient's argument to be a multiple of \pi/2. The numerical experiments we conducted showed that in these settings the set of numbers formed by such continued fractions is a Cantor set for large …

The Effect Of Habitat Fragmentation On Plant Communities In A Spatially-Implicit Grassland Model, Mika T. Cooney, Benjamin R. Hafner, Shelby E. Johnson, Sean Lee
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
The spatially implicit Tilman-Levins ODE model helps to explain why so many plant species can coexist in grassland communities. This now-classic modeling framework assumes a trade-off between colonization and competition traits and predicts that habitat destruction can lead to long transient declines called ``extinction debts.'' Despite its strengths, the Tilman-Levins model does not explicitly account for landscape scale or the spatial configuration of viable habitat, two factors that may be decisive for population viability. We propose modifications to the model that explicitly capture habitat geometry and the spatial pattern of seed dispersal. The modified model retains implicit space and is …

Numerical Analysis Of A Model For The Growth Of Microorganisms, Alexander Craig Montgomery, Braden J. Carlson
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
A system of first-order differential equations that arises in a model for the growth of microorganisms in a chemostat with Monod kinetics is studied. A new, semi-implicit numerical scheme is proposed to approximate solutions to the system. It is shown that the scheme is uniquely solvable and unconditionally stable, and further properties of the scheme are analyzed. The convergence rate of the numerical solution to the true solution of the system is given, and it is shown convergence of the numerical solutions to the true solutions is uniform over any interval [0, T ] for T > 0.

Using Differential Equations To Model A Cockatoo On A Spinning Wheel As Part Of The Scudem V Modeling Challenge, Miles Pophal, Chenming Zhen, Henry Bae
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
For the SCUDEM V 2020 virtual challenge, we received an outstanding distinction for modeling a bird perched on a bicycle wheel utilizing the appropriate physical equations of rotational motion. Our model includes both theoretical calculations and numerical results from applying the Heaviside function for the swing motion of the bird. We provide a discussion on: our model and its numerical results, the overall limitations and future work of the model we constructed, and the experience we had participating in SCUDEM V 2020.
Implementation Of A Least Squares Method To A Navier-Stokes Solver, Jada P. Lytch, Taylor Boatwright, Ja'nya Breeden
Implementation Of A Least Squares Method To A Navier-Stokes Solver, Jada P. Lytch, Taylor Boatwright, Ja'nya Breeden
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
The Navier-Stokes equations are used to model fluid flow. Examples include fluid structure interactions in the heart, climate and weather modeling, and flow simulations in computer gaming and entertainment. The equations date back to the 1800s, but research and development of numerical approximation algorithms continues to be an active area. To numerically solve the Navier-Stokes equations we implement a least squares finite element algorithm based on work by Roland Glowinski and colleagues. We use the deal.II academic library , the C++ language, and the Linux operating system to implement the solver. We investigate convergence rates and apply the least squares …
Tiling Rectangles And 2-Deficient Rectangles With L-Pentominoes, Monica Kane
Tiling Rectangles And 2-Deficient Rectangles With L-Pentominoes, Monica Kane
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
We investigate tiling rectangles and 2-deficient rectangles with L-pentominoes. First, we determine exactly when a rectangle can be tiled with L-pentominoes. We then determine locations for pairs of unit squares that can always be removed from an m × n rectangle to produce a tileable 2-deficient rectangle when m ≡ 1 (mod 5), n ≡ 2 (mod 5) and when m ≡ 3 (mod 5), n ≡ 4 (mod 5).
On Isomorphic K-Rational Groups Of Isogenous Elliptic Curves Over Finite Fields, Ben Kuehnert, Geneva Schlafly, Zecheng Yi
On Isomorphic K-Rational Groups Of Isogenous Elliptic Curves Over Finite Fields, Ben Kuehnert, Geneva Schlafly, Zecheng Yi
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
It is well known that two elliptic curves are isogenous if and only if they have same number of rational points. In fact, isogenous curves can even have isomorphic groups of rational points in certain cases. In this paper, we consolidate all the current literature on this relationship and give a extensive classification of the conditions in which this relationship arises. First we prove two ordinary isogenous elliptic curves have isomorphic groups of rational points when they have the same $j$-invariant. Then, we extend this result to certain isogenous supersingular elliptic curves, namely those with equal $j$-invariant of either 0 …
A New Method To Compute The Hadamard Product Of Two Rational Functions, Ishan Kar
A New Method To Compute The Hadamard Product Of Two Rational Functions, Ishan Kar
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
The Hadamard product (denoted by∗) of two power series A(x) =a0+a1x+a2x2+···and B(x) =b0+b1x+b2x2+··· is the power series A(x)∗B(x) =a0b0+a1b1x+a2b2x2+···. Although it is well known that the Hadamard product of two rational functions is also rational, a closed form expression of the Hadamard product of rational functions has not been found. Since any rational power series can be expanded by partial fractions as a polynomial plus a sum of power series …
On The Consistency Of Alternative Finite Difference Schemes For The Heat Equation, Tran April
On The Consistency Of Alternative Finite Difference Schemes For The Heat Equation, Tran April
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
While the well-researched Finite Difference Method (FDM) discretizes every independent variable into algebraic equations, Method of Lines discretizes all but one dimension, leaving an Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) in the remaining dimension. That way, ODE's numerical methods can be applied to solve Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). In this project, Linear Multistep Methods and Method of Lines are used to numerically solve the heat equation. Specifically, the explicit Adams-Bashforth method and the implicit Backward Differentiation Formulas are implemented as Alternative Finite Difference Schemes. We also examine the consistency of these schemes.
Additional Fay Identities Of The Extended Toda Hierarchy, Yu Wan
Additional Fay Identities Of The Extended Toda Hierarchy, Yu Wan
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
The focus of this paper is the extended Toda Lattice hierarchy, an infinite system of partial differential equations arising from the Toda lattice equation. We begin by giving the definition of the extended Toda hierarchy and its explicit bilinear equation, following Takasaki’s construction. We then derive a series of new Fay identities. Finally, we discover a general formula for one type of Fay identity.
