Doubling Measures, Monotonicity, And Quasiconformality, Leonid V. Kovalev, Diego Maldonado, Jang-Mei Wu
Doubling Measures, Monotonicity, And Quasiconformality, Leonid V. Kovalev, Diego Maldonado, Jang-Mei Wu
Mathematics - All Scholarship
We construct quasiconformal mappings in Euclidean spaces by integration of a discontinuous kernel against doubling measures with suitable decay. The differentials of mappings that arise in this way satisfy an isotropic form of the doubling condition. We prove that this isotropic doubling condition is satisfied by the distance functions of certain fractal sets. Finally, we construct an isotropic doubling measure that is not absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure.

The YRBSS is a complex sample survey with a three-stage cluster design. Multiple logistic regression is used to analyze the data, including methods of analysis to address issues in complex survey design. Results of this study indicate several different risk factors that influence the rate of suicidal ideation among adolescents, …
Asymmetric Games For Convolution Systems With Applications To Feedback Control Of Constrained Parabolic Equations, Boris S. Mordukhovich
Asymmetric Games For Convolution Systems With Applications To Feedback Control Of Constrained Parabolic Equations, Boris S. Mordukhovich
Mathematics Research Reports
The paper is devoted to the study of some classes of feedback control problems for linear parabolic equations subject to hard/pointwise constraints on both Dirichlet boundary controls and state dynamic/output functions in the presence of uncertain perturbations within given regions. The underlying problem under consideration, originally motivated by automatic control of the groundwater regime in irrigation networks, is formalized as a minimax problemof optimal control, where the control strategy is sought as a feedback law. Problems of this type are among the most important in control theory and applications - while most challenging and difficult. Based on the Maximum Principle …

Estimate The True Pass Probability For Near-Real-Time Monitor Challenge Data Using Bayesian Analysis, Yuqing Xiao
Mathematics Theses
The U.S. Army¡¯s Chemical Demilitarization are designed to store, treat and destroy the nation¡¯s aging chemical weapons. It operates Near-Real-Time Monitors and Deport Area Monitoring Systems to detect chemical agent at concentrations before they become dangerous to workers, public health and the environment. CDC recommends that the sampling and analytical methods measure within 25% of the true concentration 95% of the time, and if this criterion is not met the alarm set point or reportable level should be adjusted. Two methods were provided by Army¡¯s Programmatic Laboratory and Monitoring Quality Assurance Plan to evaluate the monitoring systems based on CDC …
Spectrally Arbitrary Tree Sign Pattern Matrices, Krishna Kaphle
Spectrally Arbitrary Tree Sign Pattern Matrices, Krishna Kaphle
Mathematics Theses
A sign pattern (matrix) is a matrix whose entries are from the set {+,–, 0}. A sign pattern matrix A is a spectrally arbitrary pattern if for every monic real polynomial p(x) of degree n there exists a real matrix B whose entries agree in sign with A such that the characteristic polynomial of B is p(x). All 3 × 3 SAP's, as well as tree sign patterns with star graphs that are SAP's, have already been characterized. We investigate tridiagonal sign patterns of order 4. All irreducible tridiagonal SAP's are identified. Necessary and sufficient conditions for an irreducible tridiagonal …
Suboptimal Feedback Control Design Of Constrained Parabolic Systems In Uncertainty Conditions, Boris S. Mordukhovich
Suboptimal Feedback Control Design Of Constrained Parabolic Systems In Uncertainty Conditions, Boris S. Mordukhovich
Mathematics Research Reports
The paper concerns minimax control problems forlinear multidimensional parabolic systems with distributed uncertain perturbations and control functions acting in the Dirichlet boundary conditions. The underlying parabolic control system is functioning under hard/pointwise constraints on control and state variables. The main goal is to design a feedback control regulator that ensures the required state performance and robust stability under any feasible perturbations and minimize an energy-type functional under the worst perturbations from the given area. We develop an efficient approach to the minimax control design of constrained parabolic systems that is based on certain characteristic features of the parabolic dynamics including …
Stability Of Discrete Solitons In The Presence Of Parametric Driving, H. Susanto, Q. E. Hoq, Panos Kevrekidis
Stability Of Discrete Solitons In The Presence Of Parametric Driving, H. Susanto, Q. E. Hoq, Panos Kevrekidis
Panos Kevrekidis
In this Brief Report, we consider parametrically driven bright solitons in the vicinity of the anticontinuum limit. We illustrate the mechanism through which these solitons become unstable due to the collision of the phase mode with the continuous spectrum, or eigenvalues bifurcating thereof. We show how this mechanism typically leads to complete destruction of the bright solitary wave.
The Association Of Hypertension Diagnosis With Smoking Cessation: Application Of Multiple Logistic Regression Using Biostatistical And Epidemiological Methods, Latonia Clay

Physical examination measurements of blood pressure and self-reported diagnosis and smoking behavior were used …
Characterizations In Domination Theory, Andrew Robert Plummer
Characterizations In Domination Theory, Andrew Robert Plummer
Mathematics Theses
Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A set R is a restrained dominating set (total restrained dominating set, resp.) if every vertex in V − R (V) is adjacent to a vertex in R and (every vertex in V −R) to a vertex in V −R. The restrained domination number of G (total restrained domination number of G), denoted by gamma_r(G) (gamma_tr(G)), is the smallest cardinality of a restrained dominating set (total restrained dominating set) of G. If T is a tree of order n, then gamma_r(T) is greater than or equal to (n+2)/3. We show that gamma_tr(T) is …
Generalized Differentiation Of Parameter-Dependent Sets And Mappings, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Bingwu Wang
Generalized Differentiation Of Parameter-Dependent Sets And Mappings, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Bingwu Wang
Mathematics Research Reports
The paper concerns new aspects of generalized differentiation theory that plays a crucial role in many areas of modern variational analysis, optimization, and their applications. In contrast to the majority of previous developments, we focus here on generalized differentiation of parameter-dependent objects (sets, set-valued mappings, and nonsmooth functions), which naturally appear, e.g., in parametric optimization and related topics. The basic generalized differential constructions needed in this case are different for those known in parameter-independent settings, while they still enjoy comprehensive calculus rules developed in this paper.

Toral Algebraic Sets And Function Theory On Polydisks, Jim Agler, John E. Mccarthy, Mark Stankus
Toral Algebraic Sets And Function Theory On Polydisks, Jim Agler, John E. Mccarthy, Mark Stankus
Mathematics
A toral algebraic set A is an algebraic set in Cn whose intersection with Tn is sufficiently large to determine the holomorphic functions on A. We develop the theory of these sets, and give a number of applications to function theory in several variables and operator theoretic model theory. In particular, we show that the uniqueness set for an extremal Pick problem on the bidisk is a toral algebraic set, that rational inner functions have zero sets whose irreducible components are not toral, and that the model theory for a commuting pair of contractions with finite defect …
Epi-Convergent Discretization Of The Generalizaed Bolza Problem In Dynamic Optimization, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Teemu Pennanen
Epi-Convergent Discretization Of The Generalizaed Bolza Problem In Dynamic Optimization, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Teemu Pennanen
Mathematics Research Reports
The paper is devoted to well-posed discrete approximations of the so-called generalized Bolza problem of minimizing variational functionals defined via extended-real-valued functions. This problem covers more conventional Bolza-type problems in the calculus of variations and optimal control of differential inclusions as well of parameterized differential equations. Our main goal is find efficient conditions ensuring an appropriate epi-convergence of discrete approximations, which plays a significant role in both the qualitative theory and numerical algorithms of optimization and optimal control. The paper seems to be the first attempt to study epi-convergent discretizations of the generalized Bolza problem; it establishes several rather general …

Efficient Domination In Knights Graphs, Anne Sinko, Peter J. Slater
Mathematics Faculty Publications
The influence of a vertex set S ⊆V(G) is I(S) = Σv∈S(1 + deg(v)) = Σv∈S |N[v]|, which is the total amount of domination done by the vertices in S. The efficient domination number F(G) of a graph G is equal to the maximum influence of a packing, that is, F(G) is the maximum number of vertices one can dominate under the restriction that no vertex gets dominated more than once.

Wavelet-Based Functional Mixed Models To Characterize Population Heterogeneity In Accelerometer Profiles: A Case Study. , Jeffrey S. Morris, Cassandra Arroyo, Brent A. Coull, Louise M. Ryan, Steven L. Gortmaker
Jeffrey S. Morris
We present a case study illustrating the challenges of analyzing accelerometer data taken from a sample of children participating in an intervention study designed to increase physical activity. An accelerometer is a small device worn on the hip that records the minute-by-minute activity levels of the child throughout the day for each day it is worn. The resulting data are irregular functions characterized by many peaks representing short bursts of intense activity. We model these data using the wavelet-based functional mixed model. This approach incorporates multiple fixed effects and random effect functions of arbitrary form, the estimates of which are …

Some Issues In The Art Image Database Systems, Peter L. Stanchev, David Green Jr., Boyan N. Dimitrov
Mathematics Publications
In this paper we illustrate several aspects of art databases, such as: the spread of the multimedia art images; the main characteristics of art images; main art images search models; unique characteristics for art image retrieval; the importance of the sensory and semantic gaps. In addition, we present several interesting features of an art image database, such as: image indexing; feature extraction; analysis on various levels of precision; style classification. We stress color features and their base, painting analysis and painting styles. We study also which MPEG-7 descriptors are best for fine painting images retrieval. An experimental system is developed …

Asymptotic Sign-Solvability, Multiple Objective Linear Programming, And The Nonsubstitution Theorem, L Clayton, R Herring, Allen G. Holder, J Holzer, C Nightingale, T Stohs
Mathematics Faculty Research
In this paper we investigate the asymptotic stability of dynamic, multiple-objective linear programs. In particular, we show that a generalization of the optimal partition stabilizes for a large class of data functions. This result is based on a new theorem about asymptotic sign-solvable systems. The stability properties of the generalized optimal partition are used to extend a dynamic version of the Nonsubstitution Theorem.
Partitioning Multiple Objective Optimal Solutions With Applications In Radiotherapy Design, Allen G. Holder
Partitioning Multiple Objective Optimal Solutions With Applications In Radiotherapy Design, Allen G. Holder
Mathematics Faculty Research
The optimal partition for linear programming is induced by any strictly complementary solution, and this partition is important because it characterizes the optimal set. However, constructing a strictly complementary solution in the presence of degeneracy was not practical until interior point algorithms became viable alternatives to the simplex algorithm. We develop analogs of the optimal partition for linear programming in the case of multiple objectives and show that these new partitions provide insight into the optimal set (both pareto optimality and lexicographic ordering are considered). Techniques to produce these optimal partitions are provided, and examples from the design of radiotherapy …
Explicit Symmetries Of Strict Feedforward Control Systems, Issa Amadou Tall, Witold Respondek
Explicit Symmetries Of Strict Feedforward Control Systems, Issa Amadou Tall, Witold Respondek
Miscellaneous (presentations, translations, interviews, etc)
We show that any symmetry of a smooth strict feedforward system is conjugated to a scaling translation and any 1-parameter family of symmetries to a family of scaling translations along the first variable. We compute explicitly those symmetries by finding the conjugating diffeomorphism. We deduce, in accordance with our previous work, that a smooth system is feedback equivalent to a strict feedforward form if and only if it gives rise to a sequence of systems, such that each element of the sequence, firstly, possesses an infinitesimal symmetry whose flow is conjugated to a 1- parameter families of scaling translations and, …
Solutions For The Cell Cycle In Cell Lines Derived From Human Tumors, B. Zubik-Kowal
Solutions For The Cell Cycle In Cell Lines Derived From Human Tumors, B. Zubik-Kowal
Mathematics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The goal of the paper is to compute efficiently solutions for model equations that have the potential to describe the growth of human tumor cells and their responses to radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The mathematical model involves four unknown functions of two independent variables: the time variable t and dimensionless relative DNA content x. The unknown functions can be thought of as the number density of cells and are solutions of a system of four partial differential equations. We construct solutions of the system, which allow us to observe the number density of cells for different t and x values. …
Linear Conditions Imposed On Flag Varieties, Julianna S. Tymoczko
Linear Conditions Imposed On Flag Varieties, Julianna S. Tymoczko
Mathematics and Statistics: Faculty Publications
We study subvarieties of the flag variety called Hessenberg varieties, defined by certain linear conditions. These subvarieties arise naturally in applications including geometric representation theory, number theory, and numerical analysis. We describe completely the homology of Hessenberg varieties over GLn(ℂ) and show that they have no odd-dimensional homology. We provide an explicit geometric construction which partitions each Hessenberg variety into pieces homeomorphic to affine space. We characterize these affine pieces by fillings of Young tableaux and show that the dimension of the affine piece can be computed by combinatorial rules generalizing the Eulerian numbers. We give an equivalent formulation of …
Conformality And Q-Harmonicity In Carnot Groups, Luca Capogna, Michael Cowling
Conformality And Q-Harmonicity In Carnot Groups, Luca Capogna, Michael Cowling
Mathematics and Statistics: Faculty Publications
We show that if f is a 1-quasiconformal map defined on an open subset of a Carnot group G, then composition with f preserves Q-harmonic functions. We combine this with a regularity theorem for Q-harmonic functions and an algebraic regularity theorem for maps between Carnot groups to show that f is smooth. We give some applications to the study of rigidity.
Ahlfors Type Estimates For Perimeter Measures In Carnot-Carathéodory Spaces, Luca Capogna, Nicola Garofalo
Ahlfors Type Estimates For Perimeter Measures In Carnot-Carathéodory Spaces, Luca Capogna, Nicola Garofalo
Mathematics and Statistics: Faculty Publications
We study the relationship between the geometry of hypersurfaces in a Carnot-Carathéodory (CC) space and the Ahlfors regularity of the corresponding perimeter measure. To this end we establish comparison theorems for perimeter estimates between an hypersurface and its tangent space, and between a CC geometry and its "tangent" Carnot group structure.

Teaching Time Savers: Some Advice On Giving Advice, Michael E. Orrison Jr.
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
There are always a lot of questions that need to be answered at the beginning of a course. When are office hours? What are the grading policies? How many exams will there be? Will late homework be accepted? We have all seen the answers to these sorts of questions form the bulk of a standard course syllabus, and most of us feel an obligation (and rightly so) to provide such information.
Local Energy Decay For Solutions Of Multi-Dimensional Isotropic Symmetric Hyperbolic Systems, Thomas C. Sideris, Becca Thomases
Local Energy Decay For Solutions Of Multi-Dimensional Isotropic Symmetric Hyperbolic Systems, Thomas C. Sideris, Becca Thomases
Mathematics and Statistics: Faculty Publications
The local decay of energy is established for solutions to certain linear, multidimensional symmetric hyperbolic systems, with constraints. The key assumptions are isotropy and nondegeneracy of the associated symbols. Examples are given, including Maxwell's equations and linearized elasticity. Such estimates prove useful in treating nonlinear perturbations.
Variational And Partial Differential Equation Models For Color Image Denoising And Their Numerical Approximations Using Finite Element Methods, Miun Yoon
Masters Theses
Image processing has been a traditional engineering field, which has a broad range of applications in science, engineering and industry. Not long ago, statistical and ad hoc methods had been main tools for studying and analyzing image processing problems. In the past decade, a new approach based on variational and partial differential equation (PDE) methods has emerged as a more powerful approach. Compared with old approaches, variational and PDE methods have remarkable advantages in both theory and computation. It allows to directly handle and process visually important geometric features such as gradients, tangents and curvatures, and to model visually meaningful …
