On \Tau-Lifting Modules And \Tau-Semiperfect Modules, Mustafa Alkan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Motivated by [1], we study on \tau-lifting modules (rings) and \tau-semiperfect modules (rings) for a preradical \tau and give some equivalent conditions. We prove that; i) if M is a projective \tau-lifting module with \tau(M) \subseteq \delta(M), then M has the finite exchange property; ii) if R is a left hereditary ring and \tau is a left exact preradical, then every \tau-semiperfect module is \tau--lifting; iii) R is \tau-lifting if and only if every finitely generated free module is \tau-lifting if and only if every finitely generated projective module is \tau-lifting; iv) if \tau (R) \subseteq \delta (R), then R …

Perturbation Of Closed Range Operators, Mohammad Sal Moslehian, Ghadir Sadeghi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let T, A be operators with domains D(T) \subseteq D(A) in a normed space X. The operator A is called T-bounded if Ax \leq a x +b Tx for some a, b\geq 0 and all x \in D(T). If A has the Hyers--Ulam stability then under some suitable assumptions we show that both T and S: = A+T have the Hyers--Ulam stability. We also discuss the best constant of Hyers--Ulam stability for the operator S. Thus we establish a link between T-bounded operators and Hyers--Ulam stability.

Modified Szász-Mirakjan-Kantorovich Operators Preserving Linear Functions, Oktay Duman, Mehmet Ali̇ Özarslan, Biancamaria Della Vecchia

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we introduce a modification of the Szász-Mirakjan-Kantorovich operators, which preserve the linear functions. This type of operator modification enables better error estimation on the interval [1/2,+\infty) than the classical Szász-Mirakjan-Kantorovich operators. We also obtain a Voronovskaya-type theorem for these operators.

Equi-Statistical Extension Of The Korovkin Type Approximation Theorem, Sevda Karakuş, Kami̇l Demi̇rci̇

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper using equi-statistical convergence, which is stronger than the usual uniform convergence and statistical uniform convergence, we obtain a general Korovkin type theorem. Then, we construct examples such that our new approximation result works but its classical and statistical cases do not work.

A New Approach On Constant Angle Surfaces In E^3, Marian Ioan Munteanu, Ana Irina Nistor

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we study constant angle surfaces in Euclidean 3--space. Even that the result is a consequence of some classical results involving the Gauss map (of the surface), we give another approach to classify all surfaces for which the unit normal makes a constant angle with a fixed direction.

Applications Of The Golden Ratio On Riemannian Manifolds, Cristina-Elena Hretcanu, Mircea Craşmareanu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The Golden Ratio is a fascinating topic that continually generates new ideas. The main purpose of the present paper is to point out and find some applications of the Golden Ratio and of Fibonacci numbers in Differential Geometry. We study a structure defined on a class of Riemannian manifolds, called by us a Golden Structure. A Riemannian manifold endowed with a Golden Structure will be called a Golden Riemannian manifold. Precisely, we say that an (1,1)-tensor field \widetilde{P} on a m-dimensional Riemannian manifold (\widetilde{M}, \widetilde{g}) is a Golden Structure if it satisfies the equation \widetilde{P}^{2}=\widetilde{P}+I (which is similar to that …

Criteria Of Nilpotency And Influence Of Contranormal Subgroups On The Structure Of Infinite Groups, Leonid Andreevich Kurdachenko, Javier Otal, Igor Yakov Subbotin

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Following J.S. Rose, a subgroup H of a group G is called contranormal if G=H^G. In a certain sense, contranormal subgroups are antipodes to subnormal subgroups. It is well known that a finite group is nilpotent if and only if it has no proper contranormal subgroups. However, for infinite groups this criterion is not valid. There are examples of non-nilpotent infinite groups whose subgroups are subnormal; in particular, these groups have no contranormal subgroups. Nevertheless, for some classes of infinite groups, the absence of contranormal subgroups implies nilpotency of the group. The present article is devoted to the search of …

Strong Differential Subordination, Georgia Irina Oros, Gheorghe Oros

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The concept of differential subordination was introduced in [4] by S. S. Miller and P. T. Mocanu and the concept of strong differential subordination was introduced in [1] by J. A. Antonino and S. Romaguera. This last concept was applied in the special case of Briot-Bouquet strong differential subordination. In this paper we study the strong differential subordinations in the general case, following the general theory of differential subordinations presented in [4].

On The Geometry Of Null Curves In The Minkowski 4-Space, Recep Aslaner, A. İhsan Boran

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study the basic results on the general study of null curves in the Minkowski 4-space R_1^4. A transversal vector bundle of a null curve in R_1^4 is constructed using a frenet Frame consisting of two real null and two space-like vectors. The null curves are characterized by using the Frenet frame.

Approximation By Certain Linear Operators Preserving X^2, Lucyna Rempulska, Karolina Tomczak

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We investigate certain positive linear operators L_n preserving the functions e_k (x)=x^k, k=0, 1, and modified operators L_n^* which preserve e_0 and e_2. We show that the error of approximation of f by L_n^* (f) is smaller than for L_n(f).

Partial Open Book Decompositions And The Contact Class In Sutured Floer Homology, Tolga Etgü, Burak Özbağci

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We demonstrate how to combinatorially calculate the EH-class of a compatible contact structure in the sutured Floer homology group of a balanced sutured three manifold which is associated to an abstract partial open book decomposition. As an application we show that every contact three manifold (closed or with convex boundary) can be obtained by gluing tight contact handlebodies whose EH-classes are nontrivial.

Uniqueness For Meromorphic Functions And Differential Polynomials, Chao Meng

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article, we deal with the uniqueness problems on meromorphic functions concerning differential polynomials and prove the following result: Let f and g be two transcendental meromorphic functions, \alpha be a meromorphic function such that T(r,\alpha)=o(T(r,f)+T(r,g)) and \alpha \not\equiv 0,\infty. Let a be a nonzero constant. Suppose that m,n are positive integers such that n>m+10. If \Psi_f' and \Psi_g' share ``(0,2)", then (i) if m\geq 2, then f(z)\equiv g(z); (ii) if m=1, either f(z)\equiv g(z) or f and g satisfy the algebraic equation R(f,g)\equiv 0, where R(\varpi_1,\varpi_2)=(n+1)(\varpi_1^{n+2}-\varpi_2^{n+2})-(n+2)(\varpi_1^{n+1} -\varpi_2^{n+1}). The results in this paper improve the results of Xiong-Lin-Mori …

C1 Modules With Respect To A Hereditary Torsion Theory, Tahi̇re Özen

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

An R-module M is said to be a C1-module if every closed submodule of M is a direct summand. In this paper we introduce and investigate the concept of the \tau-C1 module for a hereditary torsion theory \tau on Mod-R. \tau-C1 modules are a generalization of C1-modules.

Oscillation Of Nonlinear Neutral Delay Differential Equations Of Second-Order With Positive And Negative Coefficients, Mustafa Kemal Yildiz, Başak Karpuz, Özkan Öcalan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Some oscillation criteria for the following second-order neutral differential equation [x(t)\pm r(t) f( x(t-\gamma))]''+p(t) g(x(t-\alpha)) -q(t) g(x(t-\beta )) = s(t) where t\geq t_0, \gamma,\alpha,\beta \in R^+ with \alpha \geq \beta, r \in C^2([t_0,\infty ), R^+) , p,q\in C([t_0,\infty ),R^+) and f,g\in C(R,R), s\in C([ t_0,\infty),R) have been obtained. Our results are not restricted with boundedness of solutions.

Extending The Skill Test For Disease Diagnosis, Shu-Chuan Lin, Paul H. Kvam, Jye-Chyi Lu

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

For diagnostic tests, we present an extension to the skill plot introduced by Briggs and Zaretski (Biometrics 2008; 64:250–261). The method is motivated by diagnostic measures for osteopetrosis in a study summarized by Hans et al. (The Lancet 1996; 348:511–514). Diagnostic test accuracy is typically defined using the area (or partial area) under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. If partial area is used, the resulting statistic can be highly subjective because the focus region of the ROC curve corresponds to a set of low false‐positive rates that are chosen by the experimenter. This paper introduces a more …

Common Cyclic Vectors For Unitary Operators, William T. Ross, Warren R. Wogen

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

In this paper, we determine whether or not certain natural classes of unitary multiplication operators on L²(dƟ) have common cyclic vectors. For some classes which have common cyclic vectors, we obtain a classification of these vectors.

Preferential Utilization Of Nadph As The Endogenous Electron Donor For Nad(P)H:Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 (Nqo1) In Intact Pulmonary Arterial Endothelial Cells, Robert D. Bongard, Brian J. Lindemer, Gary S. Krenz, Marilyn P. Merker

Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications

The goal was to determine whether endogenous cytosolic NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) preferentially uses NADPH or NADH in intact pulmonary arterial endothelial cells in culture. The approach was to manipulate the redox status of the NADH/NAD⁺ and NADPH/NADP⁺ redox pairs in the cytosolic compartment using treatment conditions targeting glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway alone or with lactate, and to evaluate the impact on the intact cell NQO1 activity. Cells were treated with 2-deoxyglucose, iodoacetate, or epiandrosterone in the absence or presence of lactate, NQO1 activity was measured in intact cells using duroquinone as the electron acceptor, and …

Dendrites, Topological Graphs, And 2-Dominance, Paul Bankston

Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications

For each positive ordinal α, the reflexive and transitive binary relation of α-dominance between compacta was first defined in our paper [Mapping properties of co-existentially closed continua, Houston J. Math., 31 (2005), 1047-1063] using the ultracopower construction. Here we consider the important special case α =2, and show that any Peano compactum 2-dominated by a dendrite is itself a dendrite (with the same being true for topological graphs and trees). We also characterize the topological graphs that 2-dominate arcs (resp., simple closed curves) as those that have cut points of order 2 (resp., those that are not trees).

A Nonlinear Extremal Problem On The Hardy Space, William T. Ross, Stephan Ramon Garcia

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

Complementary Responses To Mean And Variance Modulations In The Perfect Integrate-And-Fire Model, Joanna R. Wares, Todd W. Troyer

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

In the perfect integrate-and-fire model (PIF), the membrane voltage is proportional to the integral of the input current since the time of the previous spike. It has been shown that the firing rate within a noise free ensemble of PIF neurons responds instantaneously to dynamic changes in the input current, whereas in the presence of white noise, model neurons preferentially pass low frequency modulations of the mean current. Here, we prove that when the input variance is perturbed while holding the mean current constant, the PIF responds preferentially to high frequency modulations. Moreover, the linear filters for mean and variance …

Background

High density genetic maps of plants have, nearly without exception, made use of marker datasets containing missing or questionable genotype calls derived from a variety of genic and non-genic or anonymous markers, and been presented as a single linear order of genetic loci for each linkage group. The consequences of missing or erroneous data include falsely separated markers, expansion of cM distances and incorrect marker order. These imperfections are amplified in consensus maps and problematic when fine resolution is critical including comparative genome analyses and map-based cloning. Here we provide a new paradigm, a high-density consensus genetic map of …

The Classification Of Simple Lie Algebras In Maple, D. Russell Sadler

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Lie algebras are invaluable tools in mathematics and physics as they enable us to study certain geometric objects such as Lie groups and differentiable manifolds. The computer algebra system Maple has several tools in its Lie Algebras package to work with Lie algebras and Lie groups. The purpose of this paper is to supplement the existing software with tools that are essential for the classification of simple Lie algebras over C.

In particular, we use a method to find a Cartan subalgebra of a Lie algebra in polynomial time. From the Cartan subalgebra we can compute the corresponding root system. …

A New Elasticity Element Made For Enforcing Weak Stress Symmetry, Bernardo Cockburn, Jay Gopalakrishnan, Johnny Guzmán

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

We introduce a new mixed method for linear elasticity. The novelty is a simplicial element for the approximate stress. For every positive integer k, the row-wise divergence of the element space spans the set of polynomials of total degree k. The degrees of freedom are suited to achieve continuity of the normal stresses. What makes the element distinctive is that its dimension is the smallest required for enforcing a weak symmetry condition on the approximate stress. This is achieved using certain "bubble matrices", which are special divergence-free matrix-valued polynomials. We prove that the approximation error is of order k + …
