A Generalization Of Combinatorial Identities For Stable Discrete Series Constants, Richard Ehrenborg, Sophie Moreland, Margaret Readdy
A Generalization Of Combinatorial Identities For Stable Discrete Series Constants, Richard Ehrenborg, Sophie Moreland, Margaret Readdy
Mathematics Faculty Publications
This article is concerned with the constants that appear in Harish-Chandra’s character formula for stable discrete series of real reductive groups, although it does not require any knowledge about real reductive groups or discrete series. In Harish-Chandra’s work the only information we have about these constants is that they are uniquely determined by an inductive property. Later, Goresky–Kottwitz–MacPherson (1997) and Herb (2000) gave different formulas for these constants. In this article, we generalize these formulas to the case of arbitrary finite Coxeter groups (in this setting, discrete series no longer make sense), and give a direct proof that the two …

Volumetric Lattice Boltzmann Method For Wall Stresses Of Image-Based Pulsatile Flows, Xiaoyu Zhang, Joan Gomez-Paz, Xi Chen, James M. Mcdonough, Md Mahfuzul Islam, Yiannis Andreopoulos, Luoding Zhu, Huidan Yu
Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications
Image-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become a new capability for determining wall stresses of pulsatile flows. However, a computational platform that directly connects image information to pulsatile wall stresses is lacking. Prevailing methods rely on manual crafting of a hodgepodge of multidisciplinary software packages, which is usually laborious and error-prone. We present a new computational platform, to compute wall stresses in image-based pulsatile flows using the volumetric lattice Boltzmann method (VLBM). The novelty includes: (1) a unique image processing to extract flow domain and local wall normality, (2) a seamless connection between image extraction and VLBM, (3) an en-route …
Matrix Interpretations And Tools For Investigating Even Functionals, Benjamin Stringer
Matrix Interpretations And Tools For Investigating Even Functionals, Benjamin Stringer
Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science
Even functionals are a set of polynomials evaluated on the terms of hollow symmetric matrices. Their properties lend themselves to applications such as counting subgraph embeddings in generic (weighted or unweighted) host graphs and computing moments of binary quadratic forms, which occur in combinatorial optimization. This research focuses primarily on counting subgraph embeddings, which is traditionally accomplished with brute-force algorithms or algorithms curated for special types of graphs. Even functionals provide a method for counting subgraphs algebraically in time proportional to matrix multiplication and is not restricted to particular graph types. Counting subgraph embeddings can be accomplished by evaluating a …
Geometric Properties Of Weighted Projective Space Simplices, Derek Hanely
Geometric Properties Of Weighted Projective Space Simplices, Derek Hanely
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
A long-standing conjecture in geometric combinatorics entails the interplay between three properties of lattice polytopes: reflexivity, the integer decomposition property (IDP), and the unimodality of Ehrhart h*-vectors. Motivated by this conjecture, this dissertation explores geometric properties of weighted projective space simplices, a class of lattice simplices related to weighted projective spaces.
In the first part of this dissertation, we are interested in which IDP reflexive lattice polytopes admit regular unimodular triangulations. Let Delta(1,q)denote the simplex corresponding to the associated weighted projective space whose weights are given by the vector (1,q). Focusing on the case where Delta …
Batch Normalization Preconditioning For Neural Network Training, Susanna Luisa Gertrude Lange
Batch Normalization Preconditioning For Neural Network Training, Susanna Luisa Gertrude Lange
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
Batch normalization (BN) is a popular and ubiquitous method in deep learning that has been shown to decrease training time and improve generalization performance of neural networks. Despite its success, BN is not theoretically well understood. It is not suitable for use with very small mini-batch sizes or online learning. In this work, we propose a new method called Batch Normalization Preconditioning (BNP). Instead of applying normalization explicitly through a batch normalization layer as is done in BN, BNP applies normalization by conditioning the parameter gradients directly during training. This is designed to improve the Hessian matrix of the loss …
An Integrated Computational Pipeline To Construct Patient-Specific Cancer Models, Daniel Plaugher
An Integrated Computational Pipeline To Construct Patient-Specific Cancer Models, Daniel Plaugher
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
Precision oncology largely involves tumor genomics to guide therapy protocols. Yet, it is well known that many commonly mutated genes cannot be easily targeted. Even when genes can be targeted, resistance to therapy is quite common. A rising field with promising results is that of mathematical biology, where in silico models are often used for the discovery of general principles and novel hypotheses that can guide the development of new treatments. A major goal is that eventually in silico models will accurately predict clinically relevant endpoints and find optimal control interventions to stop (or reverse) disease progression. Thus, it is …
Inverse Boundary Value Problems For Polyharmonic Operators With Non-Smooth Coefficients, Landon Gauthier
Inverse Boundary Value Problems For Polyharmonic Operators With Non-Smooth Coefficients, Landon Gauthier
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
We consider inverse boundary problems for polyharmonic operators and in particular, the problem of recovering the coefficients of terms up to order one. The main interest of our result is that it further relaxes the regularity required to establish uniqueness. The proof relies on an averaging technique introduced by Haberman and Tataru for the study of an inverse boundary value problem for a second order operator.
On Flow Polytopes, Nu-Associahedra, And The Subdivision Algebra, Matias Von Bell
On Flow Polytopes, Nu-Associahedra, And The Subdivision Algebra, Matias Von Bell
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
This dissertation studies the geometry and combinatorics related to a flow polytope Fcar(ν) constructed from a lattice path ν, whose volume is given by the ν-Catalan numbers. It begins with a study of the ν-associahedron introduced by Ceballos, Padrol, and Sarmiento in 2019, but from the perspective of Schröder combinatorics. Some classical results for Schröder paths are extended to the ν-setting, and insights into the geometry of the ν-associahedron are obtained by describing its face poset with two ν-Schröder objects. The ν-associahedron is then shown to be dual to a framed triangulation of Fcar(ν), which is a …
Tropical Geometry Of T-Varieties With Applications To Algebraic Statistics, Joseph Cummings
Tropical Geometry Of T-Varieties With Applications To Algebraic Statistics, Joseph Cummings
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
Varieties with group action have been of interest to algebraic geometers for centuries. In particular, toric varieties have proven useful both theoretically and in practical applications. A rich theory blending algebraic geometry and polyhedral geometry has been developed for T-varieties which are natural generalizations of toric varieties. The first results discussed in this dissertation study the relationship between torus actions and the well-poised property. In particular, I show that the well-poised property is preserved under a geometric invariant theory quotient by a (quasi-)torus. Conversely, I argue that T-varieties built on a well-poised base preserve the well-poised property when the base …
The V1-Periodic Region In Complex Motivic Ext And A Real Motivic V1-Selfmap, Ang Li
The V1-Periodic Region In Complex Motivic Ext And A Real Motivic V1-Selfmap, Ang Li
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
My thesis work consists of two main projects with some connections. In the first project we establish a v1 periodicity theorem in Ext over the complex motivic Steenrod algebra. The element h1 of Ext, which detects the homotopy class \eta in the motivic Adams spectral sequence, is non-nilpotent and therefore generates h1-towers. Our result is that, apart from these h1-towers, v1 periodicity operators give isomorphisms in a range near the top of the Adams chart. This result generalizes well-known classical behavior.
In the second project we consider a nontrivial action of C2 …
