Investigation Of The Effectiveness Of Interface Constraints In The Solution Of Hyperbolic Second-Order Differential Equations, Paul Jerome Silva Jan 2000

Investigation Of The Effectiveness Of Interface Constraints In The Solution Of Hyperbolic Second-Order Differential Equations, Paul Jerome Silva

Theses Digitization Project

Solutions to differential equations describing the behavior of physical quantities (e.g., displacement, temperature, electric field strength) often only have finite range of validity over a subdomain. Interest beyond the subdomain often arises. As a result, the problem of making the solution compatible across the connecting subdomain interfaces must be dealt with. Four different compatibility methods are examined here for hyperbolic (time varying) second-order differential equations. These methods are used to match two different solutions, one in each subdomain along the connecting interface. The entire domain that is examined here is a unit square in the Cartesian plane. The four compatibility …


The Edge-Isoperimetric Problem For The Square Tessellation Of Plane, Sunmi Lee Jan 2000

The Edge-Isoperimetric Problem For The Square Tessellation Of Plane, Sunmi Lee

Theses Digitization Project

The solution for the edge-isoperimetric problem (EIP) of the square tessellation of plane is investigated and solved. Summaries of the stabilization theory and previous research dealing with the EIP are stated. These techniques enable us to solve the EIP of the cubical tessellation.


Constructible Circles On The Unit Sphere, Blaga Slavcheva Pauley Jan 2000

Constructible Circles On The Unit Sphere, Blaga Slavcheva Pauley

Theses Digitization Project

In this paper we show how to give an intrinsic definition of a constructible circle on the sphere. The classical definition of constructible circle in the plane, using straight edge and compass is there by translated in ters of so called Lenart tools. The process by which we achieve our goal involves concepts from the algebra of Hermitian matrices, complex variables, and Sterographic projection. However, the discussion is entirely elementary throughout and hopefully can serve as a guide for teachers in advanced geometry.


Steiner Systems Of The Mathieu Group M₁₂, Kristin Marie Dillard Jan 2000

Steiner Systems Of The Mathieu Group M₁₂, Kristin Marie Dillard

Theses Digitization Project

A Steiner system T with parameters (5,6,12) is a collection of 6-element sets, called hexads, of a 12-element set [omega], such that any 5 of the 12 elements belong to exactly one hexad. In this project we construct a graph whose vertices are the orbits of S₁₂ on T x T, where T is the set of all Steiner systems S(5,6,12). Two vertices are joined if an orbit is taken into another under the action of a transposition. The number of hexads common to two Steiner systems are also given. We also prove that any two Steiner systems with parameters …


The Proof Of Fermat's Last Theorem, Mohamad Trad Jan 2000

The Proof Of Fermat's Last Theorem, Mohamad Trad

Theses Digitization Project

Fermat, Pierre de, is perhaps the most famous number theorist who ever lived. Fermat's Last Theorem states that the equation xn + yn = zn has no non-zero integer solutions for x, y and z when n>2.
