The Local Cohomology Spectral Sequence For Topological Modular Forms, Robert Bruner, John Greenlees, John Rognes
The Local Cohomology Spectral Sequence For Topological Modular Forms, Robert Bruner, John Greenlees, John Rognes
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
We discuss proofs of local cohomology theorems for topological modular forms, based on Mahowald–Rezk duality and on Gorenstein duality, and then make the associated local cohomology spectral sequences explicit, including their differential patterns and hidden extensions.
The Adams Spectral Sequence For The Image-Of-J Spectrum, Robert R. Bruner, John Rognes
The Adams Spectral Sequence For The Image-Of-J Spectrum, Robert R. Bruner, John Rognes
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
We show that if we factor the long exact sequence in cohomology of a cofiber sequence of spectra into short exact sequences, then the d_2-differential in the Adams spectral sequence of any one term is related in a precise way to Yoneda composition with the 2-extension given by the complementary terms in the long exact sequence. We use this to give a complete analysis of the Adams spectral sequence for the connective image-of-J spectrum, finishing a calculation that was begun by D. Davis [Bol. Soc. Mat. Mexicana (2) 20 (1975), pp. 6–11].
The Gelfand Problem For The Infinity Laplacian, Fernando Charro, Byungjae Son, Peiyong Wang
The Gelfand Problem For The Infinity Laplacian, Fernando Charro, Byungjae Son, Peiyong Wang
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
We study the asymptotic behavior as p → ∞ of the Gelfand problem
−Δpu = λeu in Ω ⊂ Rn, u = 0 on ∂Ω.
Under an appropriate rescaling on u and λ, we prove uniform convergence of solutions of the Gelfand problem to solutions of
min{|∇u|−Λeu, −Δ∞u} = 0 in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω.
We discuss existence, non-existence, and multiplicity of solutions of the limit problem in terms of Λ.
Asymptotic Mean-Value Formulas For Solutions Of General Second-Order Elliptic Equations, Pablo Blanc, Fernando Charro, Juan J. Manfredi, Julio D. Rossi
Asymptotic Mean-Value Formulas For Solutions Of General Second-Order Elliptic Equations, Pablo Blanc, Fernando Charro, Juan J. Manfredi, Julio D. Rossi
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
We obtain asymptotic mean-value formulas for solutions of second-order elliptic equations. Our approach is very flexible and allows us to consider several families of operators obtained as an infimum, a supremum, or a combination of both infimum and supremum, of linear operators. The families of equations that we consider include well-known operators such as Pucci, Issacs, and k-Hessian operators.

We construct a topological model for cellular, 2-complete, stable C-motivic homotopy theory that uses no algebro-geometric foundations.We compute the Steenrod algebra in this context, and we construct a “motivic modular forms” spectrum over ℂ.

fMRI is the preeminent method for collecting signals from the human brain in vivo, for using these signals in the service of functional discovery, and relating these discoveries to anatomical structure. Numerous computational and mathematical techniques have been deployed to extract information from the fMRI signal. Yet, the application of Topological Data Analyses (TDA) remain limited to certain sub-areas such as connectomics (that is, with summarized versions of fMRI data). While connectomics is a natural and important area of application of TDA, applications of TDA in the service of extracting structure from the (non-summarized) fMRI data itself are heretofore nonexistent. …
Optimal Stopping Problems For A Family Of Continuous-Time Markov Processes, Héctor Jasso-Fuentes, Jose-Luis Menaldi, Fidel Vásquez-Rojas
Optimal Stopping Problems For A Family Of Continuous-Time Markov Processes, Héctor Jasso-Fuentes, Jose-Luis Menaldi, Fidel Vásquez-Rojas
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
In this paper we study the well-know optimal stopping problem applied to a general family of continuous-time Markov process. The approach to follow is merely analytic and it is based on the characterization of stopping problems through the study of a certain variational inequality; namely one solution of this inequality will coincide with the optimal value of the stopping problem. In addition, by means of this characterization, it is possible to find the so-named continuation region, and as a byproduct obtaining the optimal stopping time. The most of the material is based on the semigroup theory, infinitesimal generators and resolvents. …

The Adams Spectral Sequence For Topological Modular Forms, Robert Bruner, John Rognes
The Adams Spectral Sequence For Topological Modular Forms, Robert Bruner, John Rognes
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
The connective topological modular forms spectrum, 𝑡𝑚𝑓, is in a sense initial among elliptic spectra, and as such is an important link between the homotopy groups of spheres and modular forms. A primary goal of this volume is to give a complete account, with full proofs, of the homotopy of 𝑡𝑚𝑓 and several 𝑡𝑚𝑓-module spectra by means of the classical Adams spectral sequence, thus verifying, correcting, and extending existing approaches. In the process, folklore results are made precise and generalized. Anderson and Brown-Comenetz duality, and the corresponding dualities in homotopy groups, are carefully proved. The volume also includes an account …
Discrete-Time Control With Non-Constant Discount Factor, Héctor Jasso-Fuentes, José-Luis Menaldi, Tomás Prieto-Rumeau
Discrete-Time Control With Non-Constant Discount Factor, Héctor Jasso-Fuentes, José-Luis Menaldi, Tomás Prieto-Rumeau
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
This paper deals with discrete-time Markov decision processes (MDPs) with Borel state and action spaces, and total expected discounted cost optimality criterion. We assume that the discount factor is not constant: it may depend on the state and action; moreover, it can even take the extreme values zero or one. We propose sufficient conditions on the data of the model ensuring the existence of optimal control policies and allowing the characterization of the optimal value function as a solution to the dynamic programming equation. As a particular case of these MDPs with varying discount factor, we study MDPs with stopping, …
Relaxation And Linear Programs On A Hybrid Control Model, Héctor Jasso-Fuentes, Jose-Luis Menaldi
Relaxation And Linear Programs On A Hybrid Control Model, Héctor Jasso-Fuentes, Jose-Luis Menaldi
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
Some optimality results for hybrid control problems are presented. The hybrid model under study consists of two subdynamics, one of a standard type governed by an ordinary differential equation, and the other of a special type having a discrete evolution. We focus on the case when the interaction between the subdynamics takes place only when the state of the system reaches a given fixed region of the state space. The controller is able to apply two controls, each applied to one of the two subdynamics, whereas the state follows a composite evolution, of continuous type and discrete type. By the …
On Optimal Stopping And Impulse Control With Constraint, J. L. Menaldi, M. Robin
On Optimal Stopping And Impulse Control With Constraint, J. L. Menaldi, M. Robin
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
The optimal stopping and impulse control problems for a Markov-Feller process are considered when the controls are allowed only when a signal arrives. This is referred to as control problems with constraint. In [28, 29, 30], the HJB equation was solved and an optimal control (for the optimal stopping problem, the discounted impulse control problem and the ergodic impulse control problem, respectively) was obtained, under suitable conditions, including a setting on a compact metric state space. In this work, we extend most of the results to the situation where the state space of the Markov process is locally compact.
On Some Ergodic Impulse Control Problems With Constraint, J. L. Menaldi, Maurice Robin
On Some Ergodic Impulse Control Problems With Constraint, J. L. Menaldi, Maurice Robin
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
This paper studies the impulse control of a general Markov process under the average (or ergodic) cost when the impulse instants are restricted to be the arrival times of an exogenous process, and this restriction is referred to as a constraint. A detailed setting is described, a characterization of the optimal cost is obtained as a solution of an HJB equation, and an optimal impulse control is identified.
Discrete-Time Hybrid Control In Borel Spaces: Average Cost Optimality Criterion, Héctor Jasso-Fuentes, José-Luis Menaldi, Tomás Prieto-Rumeau, Maurice Robin
Discrete-Time Hybrid Control In Borel Spaces: Average Cost Optimality Criterion, Héctor Jasso-Fuentes, José-Luis Menaldi, Tomás Prieto-Rumeau, Maurice Robin
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
This paper addresses an optimal hybrid control problem in discrete-time with Borel state and action spaces. By hybrid we mean that the evolution of the state of the system may undergo deep changes according to structural modifications of the dynamic. Such modifications occur either by the position of the state or by means of the controller's actions. The optimality criterion is of a long-run ratio-average (or ratio-ergodic) type. We provide the existence of optimal average policies for this hybrid control problem by analyzing an associated dynamic programming equation. We also show that this problem can be translated into a standard …
Discrete-Time Hybrid Control In Borel Spaces, Héctor Jasso-Fuentes, José-Luis Menaldi, Tomás Prieto-Rumeau
Discrete-Time Hybrid Control In Borel Spaces, Héctor Jasso-Fuentes, José-Luis Menaldi, Tomás Prieto-Rumeau
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
A discrete-time hybrid control model with Borel state and action spaces is introduced. In this type of models, the dynamic of the system is composed by two sub-dynamics affecting the evolution of the state; one is of a standard-type that runs almost every time and another is of a special-type that is active under special circumstances. The controller is able to use two different type of actions, each of them is applied to each of the two sub-dynamics, and the activations of these sub-dynamics are possible according to an activation rule that can be handled by the controller. The aim …

On Some Optimal Stopping Problems With Constraint, J. L. Menaldi, M. Robin
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
We consider the optimal stopping problem of a Markov process {xt : t ≤ 0} when the controller is allowed to stop only at the arrival times of a signal, that is, at a sequence of instants {τn : n ≤ 1} independent of {xt : t ≤ 0}. We solve in detail this problem for general Markov–Feller processes with compact state space when the interarrival times of the signal are independent identically distributed random variables. In addition, we discuss several extensions to other signals and to other cases of state spaces. These results …
A Counterexample For Lightning Flash Modules Over E(E1,E2), David Benson, Robert R. Bruner
A Counterexample For Lightning Flash Modules Over E(E1,E2), David Benson, Robert R. Bruner
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
We give a counterexample to Theorem 5 in Section 18.2 of Margolis’ book, “Spectra and the Steenrod Algebra” and make remarks about the proofs of some later theorems in the book that depend on it. The counterexample is a module which does not split as a sum of lightning flash modules and free modules.
Almost Sure Asymptotic Stabilization Of Differential Equations With Time-Varying Delay By Lévy Noise, Dezhi Liu, Weiqun Wang, Jose Luis Menaldi
Almost Sure Asymptotic Stabilization Of Differential Equations With Time-Varying Delay By Lévy Noise, Dezhi Liu, Weiqun Wang, Jose Luis Menaldi
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
This paper aims to determine that the Lévy noise can stabilize the given differential equations with time-varying delay, which has generalized the Brownian motion case. An analysis is developed and sufficient conditions on the stabilization for stochastic differential equations with time-varying delay are presented. Our stabilization criteria is in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), whence the feedback controls can be designed more easily in practice.
On The Performance Of A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm In Dynamic Environments, Quan Yuan, Zhixin Yang
On The Performance Of A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm In Dynamic Environments, Quan Yuan, Zhixin Yang
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
The ability to track the optimum of dynamic environments is important in many practical applications. In this paper, the capability of a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) to track the optimum in some dynamic environments is investigated for different functional dimensions, update frequencies, and displacement strengths in different types of dynamic environments. Experimental results are reported by using the HGA and some other existing evolutionary algorithms in the literature. The results show that the HGA has better capability to track the dynamic optimum than some other existing algorithms.

On Cyclic Fixed Points Of Spectra, Marcel Bökstedt, Robert R. Bruner, Sverre Lunøe-Nielsen, John Rognes
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
For a finite ��-group �� and a bounded below ��-spectrum �� of finite type mod ��, the ��-equivariant Segal conjecture for �� asserts that the canonical map ��^��→��^ℎ��, from ��-fixed points to ��-homotopy fixed points, is a ��-adic equivalence. Let ��_(��^��) be the cyclic group of order ��^��. We show that if the ��_��-equivariant Segal conjecture holds for a ��_(��^��)-spectrum ��, as well as for each of its geometric fixed point spectra Φ^(��_(��^��))(��) for 0<��<��, then the ��_(��^��)-equivariant Segal conjecture holds for ��. Similar results also hold for weaker forms of the Segal conjecture, asking only that the canonical map induces an equivalence in sufficiently high degrees, on homotopy groups with suitable finite coefficients.
On The Impulse Control Of Jump Diffusions, Erhan Bayraktar, Thomas Emmerling, José-Luis Menaldi
On The Impulse Control Of Jump Diffusions, Erhan Bayraktar, Thomas Emmerling, José-Luis Menaldi
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
Regularity of the impulse control problem for a nondegenerate n-dimensional jump diffusion with infinite activity and finite variation jumps was recently examined in [M. H. A. Davis, X. Guo, and G. Wu, SIAM J. Control Optim., 48 (2010), pp. 5276–5293]. Here we extend the analysis to include infinite activity and infinite variation jumps. More specifically, we show that the value function u of the impulse control problem satisfies u ∈ Wloc2,p(Rn).

Continuous Trace C*-Algebras, Gauge Groups And Rationalization, John R. Klein, Claude Schochet, Samuel B. Smith
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
Let ζ be an n-dimensional complex matrix bundle over a compact metric space X and let Aζ denote the C*-algebra of sections of this bundle. We determine the rational homotopy type as an H-space of UAζ, the group of unitaries of Aζ. The answer turns out to be independent of the bundle ζ and depends only upon n and the rational cohomology of X. We prove analogous results for the gauge group and the projective gauge group of a principal bundle over a compact metric space X.
