The Analysis Of A Model For Wave Motion In A Liquid Semiconductor: Boundary Interaction And Variable Conductivity, William V. Smith Mar 1991

The Analysis Of A Model For Wave Motion In A Liquid Semiconductor: Boundary Interaction And Variable Conductivity, William V. Smith

Faculty Publications

The theory of conducting fluids in relative motion with small conductivity is studied with a model including the Maxwell displacement current. The model is linearized, and the interaction of waves with a plane boundary in three space is studied for two orientations of the external magnetic field. It is found that two families of boundary conditions preserve energy in one orientation (external field orthogonal to the boundary), while in the other (external field parallel to the boundary) only one condition exists which preserves energy. It is shown that generalized Fourier transforms exist, generated from the generalized eigenfunction expansions. Further, it …

Degree Of Adaptive Approximation, Ronald A. Devore, Ming Yu Xiang Oct 1990

Degree Of Adaptive Approximation, Ronald A. Devore, Ming Yu Xiang

Faculty Publications

We obtain various estimates for the error in adaptive approximation and also establish a relationship between adaptive approximation and free-knot spline approximation.


Eigenvalue Problems Of Ginzburg–Landau Operator In Bounded Domains, Kening Lu, Xing-Bin Pan Jun 1990

Eigenvalue Problems Of Ginzburg–Landau Operator In Bounded Domains, Kening Lu, Xing-Bin Pan

Faculty Publications

In this paper we study the eigenvalue problems for the Ginzburg–Landau operator with a large parameter in bounded domains in [openface R]2 under gauge invariant boundary conditions. The estimates for the eigenvalues are obtained and the asymptotic behavior of the associated eigenfunctions is discussed. These results play a key role in estimating the critical magnetic field in the mathematical theory of superconductivity.

Subspaces Of Lp,Q, N L. Carothers, S J. Dilworth Oct 1988

Subspaces Of Lp,Q, N L. Carothers, S J. Dilworth

Faculty Publications

We examine the subspace structure of the Lorentz function space Lp,q[0, oo). Our main result is that a subspace of Lp,q[0, oo), p ^ 2, q < oo,must either strongly embed in Lp[0,1] or contain a complemented copy of lq.


Inequalities For Sums Of Independent Random Variables, N L. Carothers, S J. Dilworth Sep 1988

Inequalities For Sums Of Independent Random Variables, N L. Carothers, S J. Dilworth

Faculty Publications

A moment inequality is proved for sums of independent random variables in the Lorentz spaces LPtq, thus extending an inequality of Rosenthal. The latter result is used in combination with a square function inequality to give a proof of a Banach space isomorphism theorem. Further moment inequalities are also proved.


Analysis Of The Convergence History Of Fluid Flow Through Nozzles With Shocks, Mohammad Saleem, A Cheer, M Hafez, T Pulliam Jul 1988

Analysis Of The Convergence History Of Fluid Flow Through Nozzles With Shocks, Mohammad Saleem, A Cheer, M Hafez, T Pulliam

Faculty Publications

"Convergence of iterative methods for the solution of the steady quasi-one-dimensional nozzle problem with shocks is considered. The finite-difference algorithms obtained from implicit schemes are used to approximate both the Euler and Navier-Stokes Equations. These algorithms are investigated for stability and convergence characteristics. The numerical methods are broken down into their matrix-vector components and then analyzed by examining a subset of the eigensystem using a method based on the Arnoldi process. The eigenvalues obtained by this method are accurate to within 5 digits for the largest ones and to within 2 digits for the ones smaller in magnitude compared the …


Quasilinear Evolution Equations In Nonclassical Diffusion, Kenneth Kuttler, Elias Aifantis Jan 1988

Quasilinear Evolution Equations In Nonclassical Diffusion, Kenneth Kuttler, Elias Aifantis

Faculty Publications

After describing the motivation leading to some nonclassical diffusion equations, we formulate a general abstract nonlinear evolution equation and establish existence of solutions. Then we return to the original equation and discuss particular initial-boundary value problems.

Interpolation Of Besov-Spaces, Ronald A. Devore, Vasil A. Popova Jan 1988

Interpolation Of Besov-Spaces, Ronald A. Devore, Vasil A. Popova

Faculty Publications

We investigate Besov spaces and their connection with dyadic spline approximation in Lp(Omega), 0 < p (less than or equal to) infinity. Our main results are: the determination of the interpolation spaces between a pair of Besov spaces; an atomic decomposition for functions in a Besov space; the characterization of the class of functions which have certain prescribed degree of approximation by dyadic splines.

Integer Squares With Constant Second Difference, Duncan A. Buell Oct 1987

Integer Squares With Constant Second Difference, Duncan A. Buell

Faculty Publications

The problem addressed is this: Do there exist nonconsecutive integers n0, n1, n2, . . ., such that the second differences of the squares of the ni are constant? Specifically, can that constant be equal to 2? A complete characterization of sequences of length four can be given. The question of whether or not sequences of length five exist is still open but the existence or nonexistence of such sequences can be described in a more algorithmic way than the simple statement of the problem.

The Sharpness Of Some Cluster Set Results, D. Rung, Samih Obaid Jan 1987

The Sharpness Of Some Cluster Set Results, D. Rung, Samih Obaid

Faculty Publications

We show that a recent cluster set theorem of Rung is sharp in a certain sense. This is accomplished through the construction of an interpolating sequence whose limit set is closed, totally disconnected and porous. The results also generalize some of Dolzenko's cluster set theorems.


Class Groups Of Quadratic Fields Ii, Duncan A. Buell Jan 1987

Class Groups Of Quadratic Fields Ii, Duncan A. Buell

Faculty Publications

A computation has been made of the noncyclic class groups of imaginary quadratic fields Q(√-D) for even and odd discriminants - D from 0 to - 25000000. Among the results are that 95% of the class groups are cyclic, and that -11203620 and -18397407 are the first discriminants of imaginary quadratic fields for which the class group has rank three in the 5-Sylow subgroup. The latter was known to be of rank three; this computation demonstrates that it is the first odd discriminant of 5-rank three or more.


Approximation By Rational Functions, Ronald A. Devore Dec 1986

Approximation By Rational Functions, Ronald A. Devore

Faculty Publications

Making use of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, we give a new proof of the following theorem of Pekarski: If f' is in L log L on a finite interval, then f can be approximated in the uniform norm by rational functions of degree n to an error 0(1/n) on that interval.

Sequence Alignment With Matched Sections, Jerrold R. Griggs, Philip J. Hanlon, Michael S. Waterman Oct 1986

Sequence Alignment With Matched Sections, Jerrold R. Griggs, Philip J. Hanlon, Michael S. Waterman

Faculty Publications

In molecular biology, two finite sequences are compared by displaying one sequence written over another in an alignment. The number of alignments of two sequences is related to the Stanton-Cowan numbers. This paper gives asymptotics for the number of alignments of two sequences of length n with matching sections of size at least b.

Nonexistence Of Stable Harmonic Maps To And From Certain Homogeneous Spaces And Submanifolds Of Euclidean-Space, Ralph Howard, S Walter Wei Mar 1986

Nonexistence Of Stable Harmonic Maps To And From Certain Homogeneous Spaces And Submanifolds Of Euclidean-Space, Ralph Howard, S Walter Wei

Faculty Publications

Call a compact Riemannian manifold M a strongly unstable manifold if it is not the range or domain of a nonconstant stable harmonic map and also the homotopy class of any map to or from M contains elements of arbitrarily small energy. If M is isometrically immersed in Euclidean space, then a condition on the second fundamental form of M is given which implies M is strongly unstable. As compact isotropy irreducible homogeneous spaces have "standard" immersions into Euclidean space this allows a complete list of the strongly unstable compact irreducible symmetric spaces to be made.

Sequences In Power Residue Classes, Duncan A. Buell, Richard H. Hudson Jan 1986

Sequences In Power Residue Classes, Duncan A. Buell, Richard H. Hudson

Faculty Publications

Using A. Weil’s estimates the authors have given bounds for the largest prime P0 such that all primes P > P0 have sequences of quadratic residues of length m. For m ≤ 8 the smallest prime having m consecutive quadratic residues is ≡ 3(mod 4) and P0 ≡ 1 (mod 4). The reason for this phenomenon is investigated in this paper and the theory developed is used to successfully uncover analogous phenomena for rth power residues, r ≥ 2, r even.

Interpolating Sequences On Curves, Samih Obaid, D. Rung

Faculty Publications

We established a condition on boundary curves (ending at points) lying either in the unit disc or the upper half plane which implies that any consecutively separated sequence, in the hyperbolic distance, lying on one of these curves is an interpolating sequence for bounded holomorphic functions.


Deformation And Linkage Of Gorenstein Algebras, Andrew R. Kustin, Matthew Miller Aug 1984

Deformation And Linkage Of Gorenstein Algebras, Andrew R. Kustin, Matthew Miller

Faculty Publications

General double linkage of Gorenstein algebras is defined. Rigidity, genericity, and regularity up to codimension six all pass across general double linkage. Rigid strongly unobstructed codimension four Gorenstein algebras which lie in different Herzog classes are produced.
