A Nonlinear Multi-Population Behavioral Model To Assess The Roles Of Education Campaigns, Random Supply Of Aids, And Delayed Art Treatment In Hiv/Aids Epidemics, Divine Wanduku Oct 2020

A Nonlinear Multi-Population Behavioral Model To Assess The Roles Of Education Campaigns, Random Supply Of Aids, And Delayed Art Treatment In Hiv/Aids Epidemics, Divine Wanduku

Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications

The successful reduction in prevalence rates of HIV in many countries is attributed to control measures such as information and education campaigns (IEC), antiretroviral therapy (ART), and national, multinational and multilateral support providing offcial developmental assistance (ODAs) to combat HIV. However, control of HIV epidemics can be interrupted by limited random supply of ODAs, high poverty rates and low living standards. This study presents a stochastic HIV/AIDS model with treatment assessing the roles of IEC, the supply of ODAs and early treatment in HIV epidemics. The supply of ODAs is assessed via the availability of medical and financial resources leading …


Isomorphism Of Trees And Isometry Of Ultrametric Spaces, Oleksiy Dovgoshey Sep 2020

Isomorphism Of Trees And Isometry Of Ultrametric Spaces, Oleksiy Dovgoshey

Theory and Applications of Graphs

We study the conditions under which the isometry of spaces with metrics generated by weights given on the edges of finite trees is equivalent to the isomorphism of these trees. Similar questions are studied for ultrametric spaces generated by labelings given on the vertices of trees. The obtained results generalized some facts previously known for phylogenetic trees and for Gurvich---Vyalyi monotone trees.


Decomposition Of Certain Complete Graphs And Complete Multipartite Graphs Into Almost-Bipartite Graphs And Bipartite Graphs, G. Sethuraman, M. Sujasree Jul 2020

Decomposition Of Certain Complete Graphs And Complete Multipartite Graphs Into Almost-Bipartite Graphs And Bipartite Graphs, G. Sethuraman, M. Sujasree

Theory and Applications of Graphs

In his classical paper [14], Rosa introduced a hierarchical series of labelings called ρ, σ, β and α labeling as a tool to settle Ringel’s Conjecture which states that if T is any tree with m edges then the complete graph K2m+1 can be decomposed into 2m + 1 copies of T . Inspired by the result of Rosa [14] many researchers significantly contributed to the theory of graph decomposition using graph labeling. In this direction, in 2004, Blinco et al. [6] introduced γ-labeling as a stronger version of ρ-labeling. A function g defined on the vertex set …


Laplacian Spectral Properties Of Signed Circular Caterpillars, Maurizio Brunetti Jul 2020

Laplacian Spectral Properties Of Signed Circular Caterpillars, Maurizio Brunetti

Theory and Applications of Graphs

A circular caterpillar of girth n is a graph such that the removal of all pendant vertices yields a cycle Cn of order n. A signed graph is a pair Γ =(G,σ), where G is a simple graph and σ: E(G) →{+1, -1} is the sign function defined on the set E(G) of edges of G. The signed graph Γ is said to be balanced if the number of negatively signed edges in each cycle is even, and it is said to be unbalanced otherwise. We determine some bounds for the first n Laplacian eigenvalues …


The Burning Number Of Directed Graphs: Bounds And Computational Complexity, Remie Janssen Jun 2020

The Burning Number Of Directed Graphs: Bounds And Computational Complexity, Remie Janssen

Theory and Applications of Graphs

The burning number of a graph was recently introduced by Bonato et al. Although they mention that the burning number generalizes naturally to directed graphs, no further research on this has been done. Here, we introduce graph burning for directed graphs, and we study bounds for the corresponding burning number and the hardness of finding this number. We derive sharp bounds from simple algorithms and examples. The hardness question yields more surprising results: finding the burning number of a directed tree with one indegree-0 node is NP-hard, but FPT; however, it is W[2]-complete for DAGs. Finally, we give a fixed-parameter …


Radio Graceful Labelling Of Graphs, Laxman Saha, Alamgir Rahaman Basunia May 2020

Radio Graceful Labelling Of Graphs, Laxman Saha, Alamgir Rahaman Basunia

Theory and Applications of Graphs

Radio labelling problem of graphs have their roots in communication problem known as Channel Assignment Problem. For a simple connected graph G=(V(G), E(G)), a radio labeling is a mapping f : V(G) →{0,1,2,…} such that |f(u)-f(v)|≥ diam(G)+1-d(u,v) for each pair of distinct vertices u,v ∈ V(G), where diam(G) is the diameter of G and d(u,v) is the distance between u and v. A radio labeling f of a graph G is a radio graceful labeling of G if f(V(G)) = {0,1,… |V(G)|-1}. A graph for which a radio graceful labeling exists is called radio graceful. …


Domination Number Of Annulus Triangulations, Toshiki Abe, Junki Higa, Shin-Ichi Tokunaga May 2020

Domination Number Of Annulus Triangulations, Toshiki Abe, Junki Higa, Shin-Ichi Tokunaga

Theory and Applications of Graphs

An annulus triangulation G is a 2-connected plane graph with two disjoint faces f1 and f2 such that every face other than f1 and f2 are triangular, and that every vertex of G is contained in the boundary cycle of f1 or f2. In this paper, we prove that every annulus triangulation G with t vertices of degree 2 has a dominating set with cardinality at most ⌊ \frac{|V(G)|+t+1}{4} ⌋ if G is not isomorphic to the octahedron. In particular, this bound is best possible.


Some Asymptotic Properties Of Seirs Models Withnonlinear Incidence And Random Delays, Divine Wanduku, Broderick O. Oluyede May 2020

Some Asymptotic Properties Of Seirs Models Withnonlinear Incidence And Random Delays, Divine Wanduku, Broderick O. Oluyede

Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications

This paper presents the dynamics of mosquitoes and humans with general nonlinear incidence rate and multiple distributed delays for the disease. The model is a SEIRS system of delay differential equations. The normalized dimensionless version is derived; analytical techniques are applied to find conditions for deterministic extinction and permanence of disease. The BRN R0* and ESPR E(e–(μvT1+μT2)) are computed. Conditions for deterministic extinction and permanence are expressed in terms of R0* and E(e–(μvT1+μT2)) and applied to a P. vivax malaria scenario. Numerical results are given.


An Improvement In The Two-Packing Bound Related To Vizing's Conjecture, Kimber Wolff Apr 2020

An Improvement In The Two-Packing Bound Related To Vizing's Conjecture, Kimber Wolff

Theory and Applications of Graphs

Vizing's conjecture states that the domination number of the Cartesian product of graphs is at least the product of the domination numbers of the two factor graphs. In this note we improve the recent bound of Breŝar by applying a technique of Zerbib to show that for any graphs G and H, γ(G x H)≥ γ (G) 2/3(γ(H)-ρ(H)+1), where γ is the domination number, ρ is the 2-packing number, and x is the Cartesian product.


On A Vizing-Type Integer Domination Conjecture, Elliot Krop, Randy R. Davila Apr 2020

On A Vizing-Type Integer Domination Conjecture, Elliot Krop, Randy R. Davila

Theory and Applications of Graphs

Given a simple graph G, a dominating set in G is a set of vertices S such that every vertex not in S has a neighbor in S. Denote the domination number, which is the size of any minimum dominating set of G, by γ(G). For any integer k ≥ 1, a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, . . ., k} is called a {k}-dominating function if the sum of its function values over any closed neighborhood is at least k. The weight of a {k}-dominating function is the sum of its values over all …


Recursive Formulas For Beans Functions Of Graphs, Kengo Enami, Seiya Negami Mar 2020

Recursive Formulas For Beans Functions Of Graphs, Kengo Enami, Seiya Negami

Theory and Applications of Graphs

In this paper, we regard each edge of a connected graph G as a line segment having a unit length, and focus on not only the "vertices" but also any "point" lying along such a line segment. So we can define the distance between two points on G as the length of a shortest curve joining them along G. The beans function BG(x) of a connected graph G is defined as the maximum number of points on G such that any pair of points have distance at least x>0. We shall show a recursive formula for …


Triangles In Ks-Saturated Graphs With Minimum Degree T, Craig Timmons, Benjamin Cole, Albert Curry, David Davini Mar 2020

Triangles In Ks-Saturated Graphs With Minimum Degree T, Craig Timmons, Benjamin Cole, Albert Curry, David Davini

Theory and Applications of Graphs

For n ≥ 15, we prove that the minimum number of triangles in an n-vertex K4-saturated graph with minimum degree 4 is exactly 2n-4, and that there is a unique extremal graph. This is a triangle version of a result of Alon, Erdos, Holzman, and Krivelevich from 1996. Additionally, we show that for any s > r ≥ 3 and t ≥ 2 (s-2)+1, there is a Ks-saturated n-vertex graph with minimum degree t that has \binom{ s-2}{r-1}2^{r-1} n + c_{s,r,t} copies of Kr. This shows that …


Graham's Pebbling Conjecture Holds For The Product Of A Graph And A Sufficiently Large Complete Graph, Nopparat Pleanmani Jan 2020

Graham's Pebbling Conjecture Holds For The Product Of A Graph And A Sufficiently Large Complete Graph, Nopparat Pleanmani

Theory and Applications of Graphs

For connected graphs G and H, Graham conjectured that π(G □ H) ≤ π(G) π(H) where π(G), π (H), and π(G □ H) are the pebbling numbers of G, H, and the Cartesian product G □ H, respectively. In this paper, we show that the inequality holds when H is a complete graph of sufficiently large order in terms of graph parameters of G.


Analysis On Sharp And Smooth Interface, Elizabeth V. Hawkins Jan 2020

Analysis On Sharp And Smooth Interface, Elizabeth V. Hawkins

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In biology, minimizing a free energy functional gives an equilibrium shape that is the most stable in nature. The formulation of these functionals can vary in many ways, in particular they can have either a smooth or sharp interface. Minimizing a functional can be done through variational calculus or can be proved to exist using various analysis techniques. The functionals investigated here have a smooth and sharp interface and are analyzed using analysis and variational calculus respectively. From the former we find the condition for extremum and its second variation. The second variation is commonly used to analyze stability of …


Reduced Dataset Neural Network Model For Manuscript Character Recognition, Mohammad Anwarul Islam Jan 2020

Reduced Dataset Neural Network Model For Manuscript Character Recognition, Mohammad Anwarul Islam

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The automatic character recognition task has been of practical interest for a long time. Nowadays, there are well-established technologies and software to perform character recognition accurately from scanned documents. Although handwritten character recognition from the manuscript image is challenging, the advancement of modern machine learning techniques makes it astonishingly manageable. The problem of accurately recognizing handwritten character remains of high practical interest since a large number of manuscripts are currently not digitized, and hence inaccessible to the public. We create our repository of the datasets by cropping each letter image manually from the manuscript images. The availability of datasets is …


Artificial Neural Network Models For Pattern Discovery From Ecg Time Series, Mehakpreet Kaur Jan 2020

Artificial Neural Network Models For Pattern Discovery From Ecg Time Series, Mehakpreet Kaur

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models have recently become de facto models for deep learning with a wide range of applications spanning from scientific fields such as computer vision, physics, biology, medicine to social life (suggesting preferred movies, shopping lists, etc.). Due to advancements in computer technology and the increased practice of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine and biological research, ANNs have been extensively applied not only to provide quick information about diseases, but also to make diagnostics accurate and cost-effective. We propose an ANN-based model to analyze a patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) data and produce accurate diagnostics regarding possible heart diseases …


Explicit Pseudo-Kähler Metrics On Flag Manifolds, Thomas A. Mason Iii Jan 2020

Explicit Pseudo-Kähler Metrics On Flag Manifolds, Thomas A. Mason Iii

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The coadjoint orbits of compact Lie groups each carry a canonical (positive definite) Kähler structure, famously used to realize the group's irreducible representations in holomorphic sections of certain line bundles (Borel-Weil theorem). Less well-known are the (indefinite) invariant pseudo-Kähler structures they also admit, which can be used to realize the same representations in higher cohomology of the sections (Bott), and whose analogues in a non-compact setting lead to new representations (Kostant-Langlands). The purpose of this thesis is to give an explicit description of these metrics in the case of the unitary group G=Un.
