On Product And Golden Stuctures And Harmonicity, Sadetti̇n Erdem

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this work, almost product and almost golden structures are studied. Conditions for those structures being integrable and parallel are investigated. Moreover, the harmonicity of a map between almost product or almost golden manifolds with pure or hyperbolic metric is discussed under certain conditions.

The P-Laplacian Problem Via An Euler Equation And The Basis Properties Of Its Eigenfunctions, Luis Suarez Salas

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

The Laplacian operator is used in many fields of science, such as fluidodynamics, mechanics and elasticity. Mathematically, much research has been devoted to develop a theory with which it and other variations can be understood. In this work, we present the p-Laplacian problem via an Euler equation. We then study the properties of its eigenfunctions which generalize the trigonometric functions sine and cosine. In connection with a Fourier series, we then show the generalized trigonometric functions possess basis properties for L^r((0,1)^d), d=1,2,3. Finally, we introduce the spaces of variable exponent and the analogue p(x)-Laplacian problem which has immense applications such …

An Efficient Method For Online Identification Of Steady State For Multivariate System, Honglun None Xu

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

Most of the existing steady state detection approaches are designed for univariate signals. For multivariate signals, the univariate approach is often applied to each process variable and the system is claimed to be steady once all signals are steady, which is computationally inefficient and also not accurate. The article proposes an efficient online method for multivariate steady state detection. It estimates the covariance matrices using two different approaches, namely, the mean-squared-deviation and mean-squared-successive-difference. To avoid the usage of a moving window, the process means and the two covariance matrices are calculated recursively through exponentially weighted moving average. A likelihood ratio …

Trigonometry: A Brief Conversation, Carolyn D. King, Evelyn Tam, Fei Ye, Beata Ewa Carvajal

Open Educational Resources

These five units were specifically tailored to foster the mastery of a few selected trigonometry topics that comprise the one credit MA-121 Elementary Trigonometry course. Each unit introduces the topic, provides space for practice, but more importantly, provides opportunities for students to reflect on the work in order to deepen their conceptual understanding.

These units have also been assigned to students of other courses such as pre-calculus and calculus as a review of trigonometric basics essential to those courses.

We are grateful for the support we received from the Open Educational Research (OER) initiative of the City University of New …

The Impact Of Data Sovereignty On American Indian Self-Determination: A Framework Proof Of Concept Using Data Science, Joseph Carver Robertson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The Data Sovereignty Initiative is a collection of ideas that was designed to create SMART solutions for tribal communities. This concept was to develop a horizontal governance framework to create a strategic act of sovereignty using data science. The core concept of this idea was to present data sovereignty as a way for tribal communities to take ownership of data in order to affect policy and strategic decisions that are data driven in nature. The case studies in this manuscript were developed around statistical theories of spatial statistics, exploratory data analysis, and machine learning. And although these case studies are …

Quiver Varieties And Crystals In Symmetrizable Type Via Modulated Graphs, Vinoth Nandakumar, Peter Tingley

Mathematics and Statistics: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Kashiwara and Saito have a geometric construction of the infinity crystal for any symmetric Kac–Moody algebra. The underlying set consists of the irreducible components of Lusztig’s quiver varieties, which are varieties of nilpotent representations of a pre-projective algebra. We generalize this to symmetrizable Kac–Moody algebras by replacing Lusztig’s preprojective algebra with a more general one due to Dlab and Ringel. In non-symmetric types we are forced to work over non-algebraically-closed fields.

On Spectral Theorem, Muyuan Zhang

Honors Theses

There are many instances where the theory of eigenvalues and eigenvectors has its applications. However, Matrix theory, which usually deals with vector spaces with finite dimensions, also has its constraints. Spectral theory, on the other hand, generalizes the ideas of eigenvalues and eigenvectors and applies them to vector spaces with arbitrary dimensions. In the following chapters, we will learn the basics of spectral theory and in particular, we will focus on one of the most important theorems in spectral theory, namely the spectral theorem. There are many different formulations of the spectral theorem and they convey the "same" idea. In …

Parametric Polynomials For Small Galois Groups, Claire Huang

Honors Theses

Galois theory, named after French mathematician Evariste Galois in 19th-century, is an important part of abstract algebra. It brings together many different branches of mathematics by providing connections among fields, polynomials, and groups.

Specifically, Galois theory allows us to attach a finite field extension with a finite group. We call such a group the Galois group of the finite field extension. A typical way to attain a finite field extension to compute the splitting field of some polynomial. So we can always start with a polynomial and find the finite group associate to the field extension on its splitting field. …

Algebraic Number Theory And Simplest Cubic Fields, Jianing Yang

Honors Theses

The motivation behind this paper lies in understanding the meaning of integrality in general number fields. I present some important definitions and results in algebraic number theory, as well as theorems and their proofs on cyclic cubic fields. In particular, I discuss my understanding of Daniel Shanks' paper on the simplest cubic fields and their class numbers.

Incremental Proper Orthogonal Decomposition For Pde Simulation Data: Algorithms And Analysis, Hiba Fareed

Doctoral Dissertations

"We propose an incremental algorithm to compute the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of simulation data for a partial differential equation. Specifically, we modify an incremental matrix SVD algorithm of Brand to accommodate data arising from Galerkin-type simulation methods for time dependent PDEs. We introduce an incremental SVD algorithm with respect to a weighted inner product to compute the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The algorithm is applicable to data generated by many numerical methods for PDEs, including finite element and discontinuous Galerkin methods. We also modify the algorithm to initialize and incrementally update both the SVDand an error bound during the …

Cox-Type Model Validation With Recurrent Event Data, Muna Mohamed Hammuda

Doctoral Dissertations

"Recurrent event data occurs in many disciplines such as actuarial science, biomedical studies, sociology, and environment to name a few. It is therefore important to develop models that describe the dynamic evolution of the event occurrences. One major problem of interest to researchers with these types of data is models for the distribution function of the time between events occurrences, especially in the presence of covariates that play a major role in having a better understanding of time to events.

This work pertains to statistical inference of the regression parameter and the baseline hazard function in a Cox-type model for …

On Modeling Quantities For Insurer Solvency Against Catastrophe Under Some Markovian Assumptions, Daniel Jefferson Geiger

Doctoral Dissertations

"Insurance companies sometimes face catastrophic losses, yet they must remain solvent enough to meet the legal obligation of covering all claims. Catastrophes can result in large damages to the policyholders, causing the arrival of numerous claims to insurance companies at once. Furthermore, the severity of an event could impact the time until the next occurrence. An insurer needs certain levels of startup capital to meet all claims, and then must have adequate reserves on a continual basis, even more so when catastrophes occur. This work examines two facets of these matters: for an infinite time horizon, we extend and develop …

On The Spatial Modelling Of Mixed And Constrained Geospatial Data, Hassan Talebi

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Spatial uncertainty modelling and prediction of a set of regionalized dependent variables from various sample spaces (e.g. continuous and categorical) is a common challenge for geoscience modellers and many geoscience applications such as evaluation of mineral resources, characterization of oil reservoirs or hydrology of groundwater. To consider the complex statistical and spatial relationships, categorical data such as rock types, soil types, alteration units, and continental crustal blocks should be modelled jointly with other continuous attributes (e.g. porosity, permeability, seismic velocity, mineral and geochemical compositions or pollutant concentration). These multivariate geospatial data normally have complex statistical and spatial relationships which should …

3-Maps And Their Generalizations, Kevin J. Mccall

Theses and Dissertations

A 3-map is a 3-region colorable map. They have been studied by Craft and White in their paper 3-maps. This thesis introduces topological graph theory and then investigates 3-maps in detail, including examples, special types of 3-maps, the use of 3-maps to find the genus of special graphs, and a generalization known as n-maps.

Onsager Reciprocal Relations: Microscopic (Onsager) Or Macroscopic (Sliepcevich), R. E. "Buddy" Babcock

Chemical Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

This paper is a combination of the discussion of two nineteenth century theoretical giants Lars Onsager and C. M. Sliepcevich, their works in general, and specifically the famous reciprocal relations of Onsager with respect to irreversible thermodynamics. Emphasis is placed on their penetrating depth and breadth of analysis so inherently necessary in their problem-solving endeavors. The landscape of their work will be laid out for the reader by a comparison of Onsager’s microscopic statistical mechanics derivation of the famous reciprocal relationships and a macroscopic thermodynamic derivation published by C. M. Sliepsevich that led to considerable discussion in the literature in …

Slopes Of Modular Forms And The Ghost Conjecture, Ii, John Bergdall, Robert Pollack

Mathematics Faculty Research and Scholarship

In a previous article we constructed an entire power series over -adic weight space (the ghost series) and conjectured, in the -regular case, that this series encodes the slopes of overconvergent modular forms of any -adic weight. In this paper, we construct abstract ghost series which can be associated to various natural subspaces of overconvergent modular forms. This abstraction allows us to generalize our conjecture to, for example, the case of slopes of overconvergent modular forms with a fixed residual representation that is locally reducible at . Ample numerical evidence is given for this new conjecture. Further, we prove …

Smoothness Of De Nite Unitary Eigenvarieties At Critical Points, John Bergdall

Mathematics Faculty Research and Scholarship

We compute an upper bound for the dimension of the tangent spaces at classical points of certain eigenvarieties associated with definite unitary groups, especially including the so-called critically refined cases. Our bound is given in terms of “critical types” and when our bound is minimized it matches the dimension of the eigenvariety. In those cases, which we explicitly determine, the eigenvariety is necessarily smooth and our proof also shows that the completed local ring on the eigenvariety is naturally a certain universal Galois deformation ring.

Immersed Lagrangian Fillings Of Legendrian Submanifolds Via Generating Families, Samantha Pezzimenti

Bryn Mawr College Dissertations and Theses

When a Legendrian sub manifold admits a generating family (GF), Sabloff and Traynor proved that there is an isomorphism between the GF-cohomology groups of the Legendrian and the cohomology groups of any GF-compatible embedded Lagrangian filling. In this paper, we show that a similar isomorphism exists for immersed GF-compatible Lagrangian fillings; this imposes restrictions on the minimum number and types of double points for any such filling. We also show that from an immersed GF-cobordisms between Legendrian sub manifolds, there exists a long exact sequence relating the GF-cohomology groups of the two Legendrians and cohomology groups associated with the immersed …

Direct Immunoassays And Their Performance: Theoretical Modelling Of The Effects Of Antibody Orientation And Associated Kinetics, Dana Mackey, Eilis Kelly, Robert Nooney, Richard O'Kennedy

Articles

The orientation and activity of antibodies immobilized on solid surfaces are of direct relevance to many immunosensing applications. We therefore investigate a mathematical model which estimates the fraction of antibodies which are available for reaction in a randomly adsorbed sample. Numerical simulations are presented which highlight the separate effects of antibody orientation, accessibility and loss of binding ability on the amount of captured antigen. The assay response can then be expressed as a function of total antibody density and used for optimizing the surface coverage strategy under various conditions.

Type I General Exponential Class Of Distributions, Gholamhossein G. Hamedani, Haitham M. Yousof, Mahdi Rasekhi, Morad Alizadeh, Seyed Morteza Najibi

Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications

We introduce a new family of continuous distributions and study the mathematical properties of the new family. Some useful characterizations based on the ratio of two truncated moments and hazard function are also presented. We estimate the model parameters by the maximum likelihood method and assess its performance based on biases and mean squared errors in a simulation study framework.

Connecting The Arcs Motivational Model To Game Design For Mathematics Learning, Mario J. Toussaint, Victoria Brown

Transformations

Students’ performance in mathematics at all levels of education have not markedly improved for the past few decades. Stakeholders at tertiary institutions have been attempting to remedy this situation by implementing various types of intervention programs designed to increase students’ success in mathematics courses. Technology has been the primary method adopted by many educators to foster student engagement in mathematics. This paper describes an intervention program that uses the ARCS model to develop a serious game intended to increase students’ motivation and engagement in a mathematics course.

On Oscillation Of Integro-Differential Equations, Said R. Grace, Ağacik Zafer

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We study the oscillatory behavior of solutions for integro-differential equations of the form $$x'(t) = e(t) -\int_0^t (t-s)^{\alpha-1}k(t, s)f(s, x(s))\, {\rm ds},\quad t\geq 0,$$ where $0

On The Isospectrality Of The Scalar Energy-Dependent Schrödingerproblems, Tüba Gülşen, Etibar Sadi Panakhov

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this study, we discuss the inverse spectral problem for the energy-dependent Schrödinger equation on a finite interval. We construct an isospectrality problem and obtain some relations between constants in boundary conditions of the problems that constitute isospectrality. Above all, we obtain degeneracy of $ K(x,t)-K_{0}{ (x,t)}$ and $L(x,t)-L_{0} (x,t)$ by using a different approach. Some of the main results of our study coincide with results reported by Jodeit and Levitan. However, the method to obtain degeneracy is completely different. Furthermore, we consider all above results for the nonisospectral case.

Reducing Subspaces Of Toeplitz Operators On Dirichlet Type Spaces Of The Bidisk, Hongzhao Lin

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The reducing subspaces of Toeplitz operators $T_{z_1^N}$(or $T_{z_2^N}$), $T_{z_1^Nz_2^N}$, and $T_{z_1^Nz_2^M}$ on Dirichlet type spaces of the bidisk ${\mathcal{D}}_\alpha({{{\mathbb{D}}}^{2}})$ are described, which extends the results for the corresponding operators on the Bergman space of the bidisk.

Two-Dimensional Generalized Discrete Fourier Transform And Related Quasi-Cyclic Reed‒Solomon Codes, Majid Mazrooei, Lale Rahimi, Najme Sahami

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Using the concept of the partial Hasse derivative, we introduce a generalization of the classical 2-dimensional discrete Fourier transform, which will be called 2D-GDFT. Begining with the basic properties of 2D-GDFT, we proceed to study its computational aspects as well as the inverse transform, which necessitate the development of a faster way to calculate the 2D-GDFT. As an application, we will employ 2D-GDFT to construct a new family of quasi-cyclic linear codes that can be assumed to be a generalization of Reed‒Solomon codes.

In this paper, the notion of the pseudofield of values of matrices is introduced and studied. The relationship between quantum states and the field of values of matrices is mentioned. The notion of the pseudopolynomial numerical hull, as a generalization of the pseudofield of values, of matrices is introduced and some properties of this notion are investigated.

Remarks On The Zero Toeplitz Product Problem In The Bergman And Hardy Spaces, Mübari̇z Tapdigoğlu Garayev, Mehmet Gürdal

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article, we are interested in the zero Toeplitz product problem: for two symbols $f,g\in L^{\infty}\left( \mathbb{D},dA\right) ,$\ if the product $T_{f}T_{g}$\ is identically zero on $L_{a}^{2}\left( \mathbb{D}\right), $\ then can we claim $T_{f}$\ or $T_{g}$\ is identically zero? We give a particular solution of this problem. A new proof of one particular case of the zero Toeplitz product problem in the Hardy space $H^{2}\left( \mathbb{D}% \right) $ is also given.
