Thermoelastic Stress Analysis Of A Functionally Graded Transversely Isotropic Hollow Cylinder In Elliptical Coordinates, Tara Dhakate, Vinod Varghese, Lalsingh Khalsa

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This paper is concerned with the axisymmetric thermoelastic problem to investigate the influence of nonlinear heat conduction equation, displacement functions and thermal stresses of a functionally graded transversely isotropic hollow cylinder that is presented in the elliptical coordinate system. The method of integral transform technique is used to produce an exact solution of the heat conduction equation in which sources are generated according to a linear function of the temperature. An explicit exact solution of the governing thermoelastic equation is proposed when material properties are power-law functions with the exponential form of the radial coordinate. Numerical calculations are also carried …

Masked Instability: Within-Sector Financial Risk In The Presence Of Wealth Inequality, Youngna Choi

Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

We investigate masked financial instability caused by wealth inequality. When an economic sector is decomposed into two subsectors that possess a severe wealth inequality, the sector in entirety can look financially stable while the two subsectors possess extreme financially instabilities of opposite nature, one from excessive equity, the other from lack thereof. The unstable subsector can result in further financial distress and even trigger a financial crisis. The market instability indicator, an early warning system derived from dynamical systems applied to agent-based models, is used to analyze the subsectoral financial instabilities. Detailed mathematical analysis is provided to explain what financial …

Method Of Deriving Companion Identities Associating Q-Series, Keshav P. Yadav, Adarsh Kumar

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we have established two theorems by making use of Euler’s q-derivative and qshifted operators for a function of one variable and also for function of two variables. We derived several companion identities by applying these theorems on some known q-series identities. We deduced several special cases which are also the companion identities in the last section of the paper.

Radial Basis Function Generated Finite Differences For The Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation, Justin Ng

Theses and Dissertations

Solutions to the one-dimensional and two-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation are obtained numerically using methods based on radial basis functions (RBFs). Periodic boundary conditions are enforced with a non-periodic initial condition over varying domain sizes. The spatial structure of the solutions is represented using RBFs while several explicit and implicit iterative methods for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are used in temporal discretization for the approximate solutions to the NLS equation. Splitting schemes, integration factors and hyperviscosity are used to stabilize the time-stepping schemes and are compared with one another in terms of computational efficiency and accuracy. This thesis shows …

Ns-Cross Entropy-Based Magdm Under Single-Valued Neutrosophic Set Environment, Florentin Smarandache, Surapati Pramanik, Shyamal Dalapati, Shariful Alam, Tapan Kumar Roy

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

A single-valued neutrosophic set has king power to express uncertainty characterized by indeterminacy, inconsistency and incompleteness. Most of the existing single-valued neutrosophic cross entropy bears an asymmetrical behavior and produces an undefined phenomenon in some situations. In order to deal with these disadvantages, we propose a new cross entropy measure under a single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) environment, namely NS-cross entropy, and prove its basic properties. Also we define weighted NS-cross entropy measure and investigate its basic properties. We develop a novel multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) strategy that is free from the drawback of asymmetrical behavior and undefined phenomena. It is …

Progenitors Involving Simple Groups, Nicholas R. Andujo

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

I will be going over writing representations of both permutation and monomial progenitors, which include 2^{*4} : D_4, 2^(*7) :L_2 (7) as permutation progenitors, and monomial progenitors 7^(*2) :_m S_3 \times 2, 11^{*2} :_m (5:2)^{*}5, 11^{*3} :_m (25:3), 11^{*4} :_m (4 : 5)^{*}5. Also, the images of these different progenitors at both lower and higher fields and orders. \\ We will also do the double coset enumeration of S5 over D6, S6 over 5 : 4, A_5 x A_5 over (5:2)^{*}5, and go on to also do the double coset enumeration over maximal subgroups for larger constructions. We will also …

Positive Definite Functions And Dual Pairs Of Locally Convex Spaces, Daniel Alpay, Saak Gabriyelyan

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

Using pairs of locally convex topological vector spaces in duality and topologies defined by directed families of sets bounded with respect to the duality, we prove general factorization theorems and general dilation theorems for operator-valued positive definite functions.

Flow Anisotropy Due To Thread-Like Nanoparticle Agglomerations In Dilute Ferrofluids, Alexander Cali, Wah-Keat Lee, A. David Trubatch, Philip Yecko

Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Improved knowledge of the magnetic field dependent flow properties of nanoparticle-based magnetic fluids is critical to the design of biomedical applications, including drug delivery and cell sorting. To probe the rheology of ferrofluid on a sub-millimeter scale, we examine the paths of 550 μm diameter glass spheres falling due to gravity in dilute ferrofluid, imposing a uniform magnetic field at an angle with respect to the vertical. Visualization of the spheres’ trajectories is achieved using high resolution X-ray phase-contrast imaging, allowing measurement of a terminal velocity while simultaneously revealing the formation of an array of long thread-like accumulations of magnetic …

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The aim of this paper is to establish two general finite integral formulas involving the generalized Bessel-Maitland functions J^μ,γ_ν,q (z). The result given in terms of generalized (Wright’s) hypergeometric functions pΨq and generalized hypergeometric functions pFq . These results are obtained with the help of finite integral due to Lavoie and Trottier. Some interesting special cases involving Bessel-Maitland function, Struve’s functions, Bessel functions, generalized Bessel functions, Wright function, generalized Mittag-Leffler functions are deduced.

On Product Stability Of Asymptotic Property C, Gregory C. Bell, Andrzej Nagórko

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

Asymptotic property C is a dimension-like large-scale invariant of metric spaces that is of interest when applied to spaces with infinite asymptotic dimension. It was first described by Dranishnikov, who based it on Haver's topological property C. Topological property C fails to be preserved by products in very striking ways and so a natural question that remained open for some 10+ years is whether asymptotic property C is preserved by products. Using a technique inspired by Rohm we show that asymptotic property C is preserved by direct products of metric spaces.

Domains And Probability Measures: A Topological Retrospective, Michael Mislove

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

Domain theory has seen success as a semantic model for high-level programming languages, having devised a range of constructs to support various effects that arise in programming. One of the most interesting - and problematic - is probabilistic choice, which traditionally has been modeled using a domain-theoretic rendering of sub-probability measures as valuations. In this talk, I will place the domain-theoretic approach in context, by showing how it relates to the more traditional approaches such as functional analysis and set theory. In particular, we show how the topologies that arise in the classic approaches relate to the domain-theoretic rendering. We …

Extension Theorems For Large Scale Spaces Via Neighbourhood Operators, Thomas Weighill, Jerzy Dydak

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

Coarse geometry is the study of the large scale behaviour of spaces. The motivation for studying such behaviour comes mainly from index theory and geometric group theory. In this talk we introduce the notion of (hybrid) large scale normality for large scale spaces and prove analogues of Urysohn’s Lemma and the Tietze Extension Theorem for spaces with this property, where continuous maps are replaced by (continuous and) slowly oscillating maps. To do so, we first prove a general form of each of these results in the context of a set equipped with a neighbourhood operator satisfying certain axioms, from which …

Braid Group Actions On Rational Maps, Eriko Hironaka, Sarah Koch

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

Rational maps are maps from the Riemann sphere to itself that are defined by ratios of polynomials. A special type of rational map is the ones where the forward orbit of the critical points is finite. That is, under iteration, the critical points all eventually cycle in some periodic orbit. In the 1980s Thurston proved the surprising result that (except for a well-understood set of exceptions) when the post-critical set is finite the rational map is determined by the “combinatorics” of how the map behaves on the post-critical set. Recently, there has been interest in the question: what happens if …

Entropy In Topological Groups, Part 1, Dikran Dikranjan

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

Entropy was introduced first in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, as well as information theory. In the last sixty years entropy made its way also in topology, ergodic theory, as well as other branches of mathematics as algebra, geometry and number theory where dynamical systems appear in one way or another.

Roughly speaking, entropy is a non-negative real number or infinity assigned to a "selfmap" T of a "space" X, where the "space" X can be a topological or uniform space, a measure space, an abstract or topological group (or vector space) or just a set. The "selfmap" T can be, …

Pseudo-Contractibility, Felix Capulín, Leonardo Juarez-Villa, Fernando Orozco

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

Let X, Y be topological spaces and let f, g:X→ Y be mappings, we say that f is pseudo-homotopic to g if there exist a continuum C, points a, b ∈ C and a mapping H:X ×C → Y such that H(x, a)=f(x) and H(x, b)=g(x) for each x ∈ X. The mapping H is called a pseudo-homotopy between f and g. A topological space X is said to be pseudo-contractible if the identity mapping is pseudo-homotopic to a constant mapping in X. i.e., if there exist a continuum C, points a, b ∈ C, x₀ ∈ X and …

Normal Images Of A Product And Countably Paracompact Condensation, Jila Niknejad

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

In 1997, Buzjakova proved that for a pseudocompact Tychonoff space X and λ = | βX|⁺, X condenses onto a compact space if and only if X×(λ+1) condenses onto a normal space. This is a condensation form of Tamano's theorem. An interesting problem is to determine how much of Buzjakova's result will hold if "pseudocompact" is removed from the hypothesis.

In this talk, I am going to show for a Tychonoff space X, there is a cardinal λ such that if X×(λ+1) condenses onto a normal space, then X condenses onto a countably paracompact space.

On The Tightness And Long Directed Limits Of Free Topological Algebras, Gábor Lukács, Rafael Dahmen

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

For a limit ordinal λ, let (A_α)_{α < λ} be a system of topological algebras (e.g., groups or vector spaces) with bonding maps that are embeddings of topological algebras, and put A = ∪_{α < λ} A_α. Let (A, T) and (A, A) denote the direct limit (colimit) of the system in the category of topological spaces and topological algebras, respectively. One always has T ⊇ A, but the inclusion may be strict; however, if the tightness of A is smaller than the cofinality of λ, then A=T.

In 1988, Tkachenko proved …

A New Class Of Dendrites Having Unique Second Symmetric Product, David Maya, José G. Anaya, Fernando Orozco Zitli

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

The second symmetric product of a continuum X, F₂(X), is the hyperspace consisting of all nonempty subsets of X having at most two points. A continuum X has unique hyperspace F₂(X) provided that each continuum Y satisfying that F₂(X) and F₂(Y) are homeomorphic must be homeomorphic to X. In this talk, a new class of dendrites having unique F₂(X) will be presented.

On The Axiomatic Systems Of Steenrod Homology Theory Of Compact Spaces, Leonard Mdzinarishvili, Anzor Beridze

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

The Steenrod homology theory on the category of compact metric pairs was axiomatically described by J.Milnor. In Milnor, the uniqueness theorem is proved using the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms and as well as relative homeomorphism and clusres axioms. J. Milnor constructed the homology theory on the category Top²_C of compact Hausdorff pairs and proved that on the given category it satisfies nine axioms - the Eilenberg-Steenrod, relative homeomorphis and cluster axioms (see theorem 5 in Milnor). Besides, he proved that constructed homology theory satisfies partial continuity property on the subcategory Top²_CM (see theorem 4 in Milnor) and the …

On Roitman's Principle For Box Products, Hector Alonso Barriga-Acosta

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

One of the oldest problems in box products is if the countable box product of the convergent sequence is normal. It is known that consistenly (e.g., b=d, d=c) the answer is affirmative. A recent progress is due to Judy Roitman that states a combinatorial principle which also implies the normality and holds in many models.

Although the countable box product of the convergent sequence is normal in some models of b < d < c, Roitman asked what happen with her principle in this models. We answer that Roitman's principle is true in some models of b < d < c.

A Compact Minimal Space Whose Cartesian Square Is Not Minimal, Jan P. Boronski, Alex Clark, Piotr Oprocha

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

A compact metric space X is called minimal if it admits a minimal homeomorphism; i.e. a homeomorphism h:X→ X such that the forward orbit {hⁿ(x):n=1, 2, ...} is dense in X, for every x ∈ X. In my talk I shall outline a construction of a family of 1-dimensional minimal spaces from "A compact minimal space Y such that its square YxY is not minimal" whose existence answer the following long standing problem in the negative.

Problem. Is minimality preserved under Cartesian product in the class of compact spaces?

Note that for the fixed point property this question …

Liouville Numbers And One-Sided Ergodic Hilbert Transformations, David Constantine, Joanna Furno

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

We examine one-sided ergodic Hilbert transforms for irrational circle rotations and some mean-zero functions. Our approach uses continued fraction expansions to specify rotations by Liouville numbers for which the transformation has everywhere convergence or divergence.

Relationships Between Topological Properties Of X And Algebraic Properties Of Intermediate Rings A(X), Joshua Sack

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

A topological property is a property invariant under homeomorphism, and an algebraic property of a ring is a property invariant under ring isomorphism. Let C(X) be the ring of real-valued continuous functions on a Tychonoff space X, let C^*(X) ⊆ C(X) be the subring of those functions that are bounded, and call a ring A(X) an intermediate ring if C^*(X) ⊆ A(X) ⊆ C(X). For a class Q of intermediate rings, an algebraic property P describes a topological property T among Q if for all A(X), B(Y) ∈ Q if A(X) and B(Y) both satisfy P, …

Fiber Strong Shape Theory For Topological Spaces, Ruslan Tsinaridze, Vladimer Baladze

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

The purpose of this paper is the construction and investigation of fiber strong shape theory for compact metrizable spaces over a fixed base space B₀ , using the fiber versions of cotelescop, fibrant space and SSDR-map. In the paper obtained results containing the characterizations of fiber strong shape equivalences, based on the notion of double mapping cylinder over a fixed space B₀. Besides, in the paper we construct and develop a fiber strong shape theory for arbitrary spaces over fixed metrizable space B₀. Our approach is based on the method of Mardešić-Lisica and instead of …

On The Chogoshvili Homology Theory Of Continuous Maps Of Compact Spaces, Anzor Beridze, Vladimer Baladze

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

In this paper an exact homology functor from the category Mor_C of continuous maps of compact Hausdorff spaces to the category LES of long exact sequences of abelian groups is defined (cf. [2], [3], [5]). This functor is an extension of the Hu homology theory, which is uniquely defined on the category of continuous maps of finite CW complexes and is constructed without the relative homology groups [9]. To define the given homology functor we use the Chogoshvili construction of projective homology theory [7], [8]. For each continuous map f:X → Y of compact spaces, using the notion of …

Spaces With No S Or L Subspaces, Joan Hart, Kenneth Kunen

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

We show it consistent for spaces X and Y to be both HS and HL even though their product X ×Y contains an S-space. Recall that an S-space is a T₃ space that is HS but not HL.

More generally, consider spaces that contain neither an S-space nor an L-space. We say a space is ESLC iff each of its subspaces is either both HS and HL or neither HS nor HL. The "C" in "ESLC" refers to HC; a space is HC iff each of its subspaces has the ccc (countable chain condition) (iff the space has no …
