Schrödinger-Poisson Systems With Singular Potential And Critical Exponent, Senli Liu, Haibo Chen, Zhaosheng Feng
Schrödinger-Poisson Systems With Singular Potential And Critical Exponent, Senli Liu, Haibo Chen, Zhaosheng Feng
School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations
In this article we study the Schrödinger-Poisson system−∆ u+ V (| x|) u+ λφu= f (u), x∈ R3,−∆ φ= u2, x∈ R3, where V is a singular potential with the parameter α and the nonlinearity f satisfies critical growth. By applying a generalized version of Lions-type theorem and the Nehari manifold theory, we establish the existence of the nonnegative ground state solution when λ= 0. By the perturbation method, we obtain a nontrivial solution to above system when λ= 0.

In the ancient world, the Greeks believed that all great insights came from one of nine muses, divine sisters who brought inspiration to mere mortals. In the modern world, few people still believe in the muses, but we all still love to hear stories of sudden inspiration. Like Newton and the apple, or Archimedes and the bathtub (both another type of myth), we’re eager to hear and to share stories about flashes of insight. But what does it take to be actually creative? How to have such a flash insight? Turns out, there is real science behind "aha moments." We …
Exponential And Hypoexponential Distributions: Some Characterizations, George Yanev
Exponential And Hypoexponential Distributions: Some Characterizations, George Yanev
School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations
The (general) hypoexponential distribution is the distribution of a sum of independent exponential random variables. We consider the particular case when the involved exponential variables have distinct rate parameters. We prove that the following converse result is true. If for some n ≥ 2, X1, X2, . . . , Xn are independent copies of a random variable X with unknown distribution F and a specific linear combination of Xj ’s has hypoexponential distribution, then F is exponential. Thus, we obtain new characterizations of the exponential distribution. As corollaries of the main results, we extend some previous characterizations established recently …
Quantitatively Hyper-Positive Real Functions, Daniel Alpay, Izchak Lewkowicz
Quantitatively Hyper-Positive Real Functions, Daniel Alpay, Izchak Lewkowicz
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
Hyper-positive real, matrix-valued, rational functions are associated with absolute stability (the Lurie problem). Here, quantitative subsets of Hyper-positive functions, related through nested inclusions, are introduced. Structurally, this family of functions turns out to be matrix-convex and closed under inversion.
A state-space characterization of these functions through a corresponding Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov Lemma, is given. Technically, the classical Linear Matrix Inclusions, associated with passive systems, are here substituted by Quadratic Matrix Inclusions.

Economics And Game Theory, Jeremiah Patrick Prenn
Economics And Game Theory, Jeremiah Patrick Prenn
Mathematics Senior Showcase 2020
Game theory is one of the major fields of mathematics. Game theory is the study of how games, their players, and players’ strategies are defined, and how the games might play out. The outcomes of games are ultimately based on decisions, much like in the science of economics. Economics analyzes how scarce resources are to be allocated to suit unlimited needs. Every decision has an economic cost, and every decision has a utility value (utility being a quantitative measure of usefulness). Economics and game theory go hand in hand: Both analyze the effects of decisions and the rules imposed on …
The History And Application Of Benford's Law, Hunter Clark
The History And Application Of Benford's Law, Hunter Clark
Mathematics Senior Showcase 2020
My Poster is on the history and application of Benford’s law. This is a law that states that the leading digit of a set of numbers will be the number 1 approximately 30% of the time. This is a natural phenomenon and what I mean by that is that in order for this law to hold the numbers cannot be assigned. They must be random as in financial statements or logs. This law does not work on sets that are assigned such as time sheets and addresses. You will see in my poster that the original person to discover this …

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have historically provided many uses in the medical field, including mobility for individuals with differing levels of paralysis. Present day research is focused around testing the efficacy of such devices on mental diseases such as Alzheimer's, Dementia, and Parkinson's. Leading companies that are spearheading the research of such devices, are looking at BCI's as a tool for solving many of the problems that these diseases produce, with the end goal of generalizing BCIs to appeal to the healthy layperson by providing an additional interface between them and the technological world. If such devices were present in society …
Internal Sorting Methods, Rebekah Marie Bitikofer
Internal Sorting Methods, Rebekah Marie Bitikofer
Mathematics Senior Showcase 2020
Internal sorting methods are possible when all of the items to be accessed fit in a computer's high-speed internal memory. There are quite a few (Knuth's third volume of The Art of Computer Programming covers 14 in total) but I will go over the four I found to be most versatile and useful. Each algorithm that I cover has a specific benefit that merits its' use in computer science. Some have faster run times (Heapsort), simpler code (Straight Insertion), run with a smaller memory space (Quicksort), or work well with large sets (Radix Sorting). Different sorting tasks lead users to …

We live in a world of cyber-enabled devices that enhance many aspects of life, including the treatment of diabetes. Type I Diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by destruction of pancreatic cells and subsequent deficiency of insulin - a crucial hormone in regulating blood glucose levels. The development of an Artificial Pancreas System is automating the maintenance of this disease by integrating wireless devices to continuously balance blood glucose levels without patient interaction. An integral part of this system is the Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) which wirelessly transmits blood glucose measurements every 5 minutes. CGMs and other Implantable Medical …
Construction Of A First Order Logic Theorem Prover, Luke Philip Tyler
Construction Of A First Order Logic Theorem Prover, Luke Philip Tyler
Mathematics Senior Showcase 2020
There are many systems that have been researched in the past on automating the process of theorem proving in first-order logic. This research explores one of these systems, the tableau method. A point of interest within the tableau method is whether or not the method is sound and complete. This research was done in tandem with a computer implementation of the tableau method written in Haskell. The basic design of the implementation was to construct a fair rule for tableau expansion and expand the tableau until it was found to be closed, open, or infinite, thereby proving or disproving of …
Need For Shift-Invariant Fractional Differentiation Explains The Appearance Of Complex Numbers In Physics, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
Need For Shift-Invariant Fractional Differentiation Explains The Appearance Of Complex Numbers In Physics, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
Complex numbers are ubiquitous in physics, they lead to a natural description of different physical processes and to efficient algorithms for solving the corresponding problems. But why this seemingly counterintuitive mathematical construction is so natural here? In this paper, we provide a possible explanation of this phenomenon: namely, we show that complex numbers appear if take into account that some physical system are described by derivatives of fractional order and that a physically meaningful analysis of such derivatives naturally leads to complex numbers.
So How Were The Tents Of Israel Placed? A Bible-Inspired Geometric Problem, Julio Urenda, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
So How Were The Tents Of Israel Placed? A Bible-Inspired Geometric Problem, Julio Urenda, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
In one of the Biblical stories, prophet Balaam blesses the tents of Israel for being good. But what can be so good about the tents? A traditional Rabbinical interpretation is that the placement of the tents provided full privacy: from each entrance, one could not see what is happening at any other entrance. This motivates a natural geometric question: how exactly were these tents placed? In this paper, we provide an answer to this question.
The Surface Diffusion And The Willmore Flow For Uniformly Regular Hypersurfaces, Jeremy Lecrone, Yuanzhen Shao, Gieri Simonett
The Surface Diffusion And The Willmore Flow For Uniformly Regular Hypersurfaces, Jeremy Lecrone, Yuanzhen Shao, Gieri Simonett
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
We consider the surface diffusion and Willmore flows acting on a general class of (possibly non–compact) hypersurfaces parameterized over a uniformly regular reference manifold possessing a tubular neighborhood with uniform radius. The surface diffusion and Willmore flows each give rise to a fourth–order quasilinear parabolic equation with nonlinear terms satisfying a specific singular structure. We establish well–posedness of both flows for initial surfaces that are C1+α–regular and parameterized over a uniformly regular hypersurface. For the Willmore flow, we also show long–term existence for initial surfaces which are C1+α–close to a sphere, and we prove …

We obtain asymptotics for sums of the form
Sigma(p)(n=1) e(alpha(k) n(k) + alpha(1)n),
involving lower order main terms. As an application, we show that for almost all alpha(2) is an element of [0, 1) one has
sup(alpha 1 is an element of[0,1)) | Sigma(1 <= n <= P) e(alpha(1)(n(3) + n) + alpha(2)n(3))| << P3/4+epsilon,
and that in a suitable sense this is best possible. This allows us to improve bounds for the fractal dimension of solutions to the Schrodinger and Airy equations.
Fractional Nonlinear Volterra–Fredholm Integral Equations Involving Atangana–Baleanu Fractional Derivative: Framelet Applications, Mutaz Mohammad, Alexander Trounev
Fractional Nonlinear Volterra–Fredholm Integral Equations Involving Atangana–Baleanu Fractional Derivative: Framelet Applications, Mutaz Mohammad, Alexander Trounev
All Works
© 2020, The Author(s). In this work, we propose a framelet method based on B-spline functions for solving nonlinear Volterra–Fredholm integro-differential equations and by involving Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative, which can provide a reliable numerical approximation. The framelet systems are generated using the set of B-splines with high vanishing moments. We provide some numerical and graphical evidences to show the efficiency of the proposed method. The obtained numerical results of the proposed method compared with those obtained from CAS wavelets show a great agreement with the exact solution. We confirm that the method achieves accurate, efficient, and robust measurement.

Existence And Stability Of The Doubly Nonlinear Anisotropic Parabolic Equation, Huashui Zhan, Zhaosheng Feng
School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations
In this paper, we are concerned with a doubly nonlinear anisotropic parabolic equation, in which the diffusion coefficient and the variable exponent depend on the time variable t. Under certain conditions, the existence of weak solution is proved by applying the parabolically regularized method. Based on a partial boundary value condition, the stability of weak solution is also investigated.

Neurophysiological Correlates Of Dual Tasking In People With Parkinson's Disease And Freezing Of Gait, Conor Fearon, John Butler, Saskia Waechter, Isabelle Killane, Simon Kelly, Richard B Reilly, Timothy Lynch
Articles
Freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's disease (PwP) is associated with executive dysfunction and motor preparation deficits. We have recently shown that electrophysiological markers of motor preparation, rather than decision-making, differentiate PwP with freezing of gait (FOG +) and without (FOG -) while sitting. To examine the effect of locomotion on these results, we measured behavioural and electrophysiological responses in PwP with and without FOG during a target response time task while sitting (single-task) and stepping-in-place (dual-task). Behavioural and electroencephalographic data were acquired from 18 PwP (eight FOG +) and seven young controls performing the task while sitting and …

Introduction To Neutrosophic Genetics, Florentin Smarandache
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
Neutrosophic Genetics is the study of genetics using neutrosophic logic, set, probability, statistics, measure and other neutrosophic tools and procedures. In this paper, based on the Neutrosophic Theory of Evolution (that includes degrees of Evolution, Neutrality (or Indeterminacy), and Involution) – as extension of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, we show the applicability of neutrosophy in genetics, and we present within the frame of neutrosophic genetics the following concepts: neutrosophic mutation, neutrosophic speciation, and neutrosophic coevolution.

Structure, Neutrostructure, And Antistructure In Science, Florentin Smarandache
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In any science, a classical Theorem, defined on a given space, is a statement that is 100% true (i.e. true for all elements of the space). To prove that a classical theorem is false, it is sufficient to get a single counter-example where the statement is false. Therefore, the classical sciences do not leave room for partial truth of a theorem (or a statement). But, in our world and in our everyday life, we have many more examples of statements that are only partially true, than statements that are totally true. The NeutroTheorem and AntiTheorem are generalizations and alternatives of …

A vertex coloring c : V(G) → N of a non-trivial graph G is called a sigma coloring if σ(u) is not equal to σ(v) for any pair of adjacent vertices u and v. Here, σ(x) denotes the sum of the colors assigned to vertices adjacent to x. The sigma chromatic number of G, denoted by σ(G), is defined as the fewest number of colors needed to construct a sigma coloring of G. In this paper, we consider the sigma chromatic number of graphs obtained by deleting one or more of its edges. In particular, we study the difference σ(G)−σ(G−e) …
Nonlinear Multigrid Based On Local Spectral Coarsening For Heterogeneous Diffusion Problems, Chak Shing Lee, Francois Hamon, Nicola Castelletto, Panayot S. Vassilevski, Joshua A. White
Nonlinear Multigrid Based On Local Spectral Coarsening For Heterogeneous Diffusion Problems, Chak Shing Lee, Francois Hamon, Nicola Castelletto, Panayot S. Vassilevski, Joshua A. White
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
This work develops a nonlinear multigrid method for diffusion problems discretized by cell-centered finite volume methods on general unstructured grids. The multigrid hierarchy is constructed algebraically using aggregation of degrees of freedom and spectral decomposition of reference linear operators associated with the aggregates. For rapid convergence, it is important that the resulting coarse spaces have good approximation properties. In our approach, the approximation quality can be directly improved by including more spectral degrees of freedom in the coarsening process. Further, by exploiting local coarsening and a piecewise-constant approximation when evaluating the nonlinear component, the coarse level problems are assembled and …
Proving Pairwise Intransitivity In Sets Of Dice, Erika Clary
Proving Pairwise Intransitivity In Sets Of Dice, Erika Clary
Honors Projects
Prior research has been conducted regarding the intransitivity of a set of dice when a single die from a set is rolled against another die from that set and when two of the same dice are rolled against a different pair of two of the same dice. This project examines and proves that an intransitive cycle exists in every set of at least five dice when two different dice are rolled against two other different dice.

Subnormality Of Powers Of Multivariable Weighted Shifts, Sang Hoon Lee, Woo Young Lee, Jasang Yoon
School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations
Given a pair of commuting subnormal Hilbert space operators, the Lifting Problem for Commuting Subnormals (LPCS) asks for necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a commuting pair of normal extensions of and ; in other words, is a subnormal pair. The LPCS is a longstanding open problem in the operator theory. In this paper, we consider the LPCS of a class of powers of -variable weighted shifts. Our main theorem states that if a “corner” of a 2-variable weighted shift is subnormal, then is subnormal if and only if a power is subnormal for some . As a …
