On $Q$- And $H$-Deformations Of 3d-Superspaces, Sali̇h Çeli̇k Jan 2021

On $Q$- And $H$-Deformations Of 3d-Superspaces, Sali̇h Çeli̇k

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we introduce nonstandard deformations of (1+2)- and (2+1)-superspaces via a contraction using standard deformations of them. This deformed superspaces are denoted by ${\mathbb A}_h^{1 2}$ and ${\mathbb A}_{h'}^{2 1}$, respectively. We find a two-parameter $R$-matrix satisfying quantum Yang--Baxter equation and thus obtain a { new} two-parameter nonstandard deformation of the supergroup ${\rm GL}(1 2)$. Finally, we get a new superalgebra derived from the Hopf superalgebra of functions on the quantum superspace ${\mathbb A}_{p,q}^{1 2}$.


Peiffer Pairings In Multisimplicial Groups And Crossed $N$-Cubes And Applications For Bisimplicial Groups, Özgün Gürmen Alansal, Erdal Ulualan Jan 2021

Peiffer Pairings In Multisimplicial Groups And Crossed $N$-Cubes And Applications For Bisimplicial Groups, Özgün Gürmen Alansal, Erdal Ulualan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We explore the Peiffer pairings within the Moore complex of multisimplicial groups, and as an application, we give a detailed construction of a crossed $n$- cube from an $n$-simplicial group in terms of these pairings. We also give explicit calculations of Peiffer pairings in the Moore bicomplex of a bisimplicial group to see the role of these pairings in the relationship between bisimplicial groups and crossed squares.


Good Components Of Curves In Projective Spaces Outside The Brill-Noether Range, Edoardo Ballico Jan 2021

Good Components Of Curves In Projective Spaces Outside The Brill-Noether Range, Edoardo Ballico

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

For all integers $n, d, g$ such that $n\ge 4$, $d\ge n+1$, and $(n+2)(d-n-1)\ge n(g-1)$, we define a good (i.e. generically smooth of dimension $(n+1)d+(3-n)(g-1)$ and with the expected number of moduli) irreducible component $A(d,g;n)$ of the Hilbert scheme of smooth and nondegenerate curves in $\mathbb{P}^n$ with degree $d$ and genus $g$. For most of these $(d,g)$, we prove that a general $X\in A(d,g;n)$ has maximal rank. We cover, in this way, a range of $(d,g,n)$ outside the Brill-Noether range.


On The Number Of Non-$G$-Equivalent Minimal Abelian Codes, Fatma Altunbulak Aksu, İpek Tuvay Jan 2021

On The Number Of Non-$G$-Equivalent Minimal Abelian Codes, Fatma Altunbulak Aksu, İpek Tuvay

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group. Ferraz, Guerreiro, and Polcino Milies (2014) proved that the number of $G$-equivalence classes of minimal abelian codes is equal to the number of $G$-isomorphism classes of subgroups for which corresponding quotients are cyclic. In this article, we prove that the notion of $G$-isomorphism is equivalent to the notion of isomorphism on the set of all subgroups $H$ of $G$ with the property that $G/H$ is cyclic. As an application, we calculate the number of non-$G$-equivalent minimal abelian codes for some specific family of abelian groups. We also prove that the number of non-$G$-equivalent …


Ulam-Hyers Stability Results For A Novel Nonlinear Nabla Caputo Fractional Variable-Order Difference System, Danfeng Luo, Thabet Abdeljawad, Zhiguo Luo Jan 2021

Ulam-Hyers Stability Results For A Novel Nonlinear Nabla Caputo Fractional Variable-Order Difference System, Danfeng Luo, Thabet Abdeljawad, Zhiguo Luo

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper is concerned with a kind of nonlinear Nabla Caputo fractional difference system with variable-order and fixed initial valuable. By applying Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem, we give some sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence results for the considered fractional discrete equations. In addition, we further consider the Ulam-Hyers stability by means of generalized Gronwall inequality. At last, two typical examples are delineated to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.


An Improved Oscillation Criteria For First Order Dynamic Equations, Özkan Öcalan Jan 2021

An Improved Oscillation Criteria For First Order Dynamic Equations, Özkan Öcalan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this work, we consider the first-order dynamic equations \begin{equation*} x^{\Delta }(t)+p(t)x\left( \tau (t)\right) =0,\text{ }t\in \lbrack t_{0},\infty )_{\mathbb{T}} \end{equation*} where $p\in C_{rd}\left( [t_{0},\infty )_{\mathbb{T}},\mathbb{R}^{+}\right) , $ $\tau \in C_{rd}\left( [t_{0},\infty )_{\mathbb{T}},\mathbb{T}\right) $ and $\tau (t)\leq t,\ \lim_{t\rightarrow \infty }\tau (t)=\infty $. When the delay term $\tau (t)$ is not necessarily monotone, we present a new sufficient condition for the oscillation of first-order delay dynamic equations on time scales.


On A Coupled Caputo Conformable System Of Pantograph Problems, Sabri T. M. Thabet, Sina Etemad, Shahram Rezapour Jan 2021

On A Coupled Caputo Conformable System Of Pantograph Problems, Sabri T. M. Thabet, Sina Etemad, Shahram Rezapour

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Our fundamental purpose in the present manuscript is to explore existence and uniqueness criteria for a new coupled Caputo conformable system of pantograph problems in which for the first time, the given boundary conditions are formulated in the Riemann-Liouville conformable framework. To reach the mentioned aims, we utilize different analytical techniques in which some fixed point results play a vital role. In the final part, a simulative example is designed to cover the applicability aspects of theoretical findings available in this research manuscript from a numerical point of view.


Infinitesimal Bending Of Dna Helices, Miroslav Maksimovic, Ljubica Velimirovic, Marija Najdanovic Jan 2021

Infinitesimal Bending Of Dna Helices, Miroslav Maksimovic, Ljubica Velimirovic, Marija Najdanovic

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The mathematics of DNA molecules is often studied as a double helix model. This paper focuses on the modelling of infinitesimal bending of DNA helices. The paper checks the flexibility of DNA molecule, i.e. the flexibility of double helix in infinitesimal bending theory. Actually, first, we find infinitesimal bending field of an arbitrary curve on the helicoid, that leaves bent curves on the helicoid, and show that helix bending on the helicoid is not possible. Finally, we deal with the infinitesimal bending of helicoid, using PDEs. Visualization of infinitesimal bending was done in Mathematica.


Numerical Investigation Of Viscous Effects On The Nonlinear Burgers Equation, Muhammad Imran Khan, Abdul Rauf, Abdullah Shah Jan 2021

Numerical Investigation Of Viscous Effects On The Nonlinear Burgers Equation, Muhammad Imran Khan, Abdul Rauf, Abdullah Shah

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This research article presents the numerical solution of the viscous Burgers equation. The diagonally implicit fractional step $\theta$ (DIFST) scheme is used for the time discretization and the space derivative is discretized by the conforming finite element method with quadrilateral mesh. The viscosity effect on the shock wave is calculated with an estimation of the $L_2$ error. For comparison of different time discretization schemes, three test problems are computed. The stability and accuracy of the schemes are given by estimating the $L_2$ error norm. Numerical simulation for one- and two-dimensional problems are given and illustrated graphically. The effect of the …

Moreover, some properties of these structures are investigated.


A Generalization Of Parabolic Potentials Associated To Laplace-Bessel Differential Operator And Its Behavior In The Weighted Lebesque Spaces, Çağla Seki̇n Jan 2021

A Generalization Of Parabolic Potentials Associated To Laplace-Bessel Differential Operator And Its Behavior In The Weighted Lebesque Spaces, Çağla Seki̇n

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this work we introduce some generalizations of the singular parabolic Riesz and parabolic Bessel potentials. Namely, $\Delta _{\nu }$ being the Laplace-Bessel singular differential operator, we define the families of operators \begin{equation*} H_{\beta ,\nu }^{\alpha }=\left( \frac{\partial }{\partial t}+(-\Delta _{\nu })^{\beta /2}\right) ^{-\alpha /\beta }\text{ and }\mathcal{H}_{\beta ,\nu }^{\alpha }=\left( I+\frac{\partial }{\partial t}+(-\Delta _{\nu })^{\beta /2}\right) ^{-\alpha /\beta }\text{ , (}\alpha ,\beta >0\text{),} \end{equation*} and investigate their properties in the special weighted $L_{p,\nu }$-spaces.


Cyclic And Constacyclic Codes Over The Ring $\Mathbb{Z}_{4}[U]/\Langle U^3-U^2\Rangle$ And Their Gray Image, Mehmet Özen, Fatma Zehra Uzekmek, Eli̇f Segah Öztaş Jan 2021

Cyclic And Constacyclic Codes Over The Ring $\Mathbb{Z}_{4}[U]/\Langle U^3-U^2\Rangle$ And Their Gray Image, Mehmet Özen, Fatma Zehra Uzekmek, Eli̇f Segah Öztaş

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article, the structure of generator polynomial of the cyclic codes with odd length is formed over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{4}+u\mathbb{Z}_{4}+u^{2}\mathbb{Z}_{4}$ where $u^3=u^2$. With the isomorphism we have defined, the generator polynomial of constacyclic codes with odd length over this ring is created from the generator of the cyclic codes. Additionally, necessary and sufficient conditions for a linear code in this ring to be a self dual code and a LCD code are mentioned. Furthermore, for all units over this ring, $\mathbb{Z}_{4}$-images of $\lambda$-constacyclic codes and also $\mathbb{Z}_{4}$-images of cyclic codes are examined by using related ones from defined three …


Hyers-Ulam Stability And Control Problem For Systems Governed By Impulsive Integro-Differential Equations In Banach Spaces, Adisorn Doodee Jan 2021

Hyers-Ulam Stability And Control Problem For Systems Governed By Impulsive Integro-Differential Equations In Banach Spaces, Adisorn Doodee

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This thesis is organized in two main parts. First, we study the Hyers-Ulam stability of impulsive integro-differential equations in Banach spaces. By using iterative methods, we establish sufficient conditions for existence of solutions and Hyers-Ulam stabilities. These conditions are based on the analysis of iterative methods. The second part deals with the control problems of impulsive integro-differential equations in Banach spaces. The iterative methods are used to investigate results and some examples are constructed to illustrate results. Moreover, we extend the scope of our study to the class of second order impulsive integro-differential equations in Banach spaces.


Spectral Extremal Results For Hypergraphs, Yuan Hou, An Chang, Joshua Cooper Jan 2021

Spectral Extremal Results For Hypergraphs, Yuan Hou, An Chang, Joshua Cooper

Faculty Publications

Let F be a graph. A hypergraph is called Berge F if it can be obtained by replacing each edge in F by a hyperedge containing it. Given a family of graphs F, we say that a hypergraph H is Berge F-free if for every F ∈ F, the hypergraph H does not contain a Berge F as a subhypergraph. In this paper we investigate on the connections between spectral radius of the adjacency tensor and structural properties of a linear hypergraph. In particular, we obtain a spectral version of Turán-type problems over linear k-uniform hypergraphs by using spectral methods.


Newton Iterative Algorithm For Polynomial Modular Inversion Modulo Xn±1 For Some Patterns Of N, Samakorn Sripatthanakul Jan 2021

Newton Iterative Algorithm For Polynomial Modular Inversion Modulo Xn±1 For Some Patterns Of N, Samakorn Sripatthanakul

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This thesis presents an algorithm for computing the modular inverse of a polynomial in a ring of polynomials over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with a characteristic $p$. Given a polynomial $f$ and a natural number $r$, by applying the idea of the Newton iteration algorithm, the fast division algorithm used to find the inverse of $f$ under modulo $x^{p^r}-1$, $x^{p^r}+1$, $x^{2p^r}-1$ and $x^n-1$ where $n=2^r d$ for some $r,d\in\mathbb{N}$, is established. The cost analysis for these cases show that the algorithm has the computational complexity of $\mathcal{O}(n \log n)$ which is more efficient than the Half-GCD algorithm in terms of …


Scheduling Of Pressing Process In Multi-Layer Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing Via Milp And Heuristic, Teeradech Laisupannawong Jan 2021

Scheduling Of Pressing Process In Multi-Layer Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing Via Milp And Heuristic, Teeradech Laisupannawong

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

The pressing process aims to press the panel which is the stack of materials to form a multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB). This process is a part of multi-layer PCB fabrication and can be considered as a scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan. In this dissertation, two mixed-integer linear programming models (Models 1 and 2) and a three-phase-PCB-pressing heuristic (3P-PCB-PH) algorithm for scheduling the pressing process are presented. Model 2 is an improvement of Model 1 in terms of the model size and the dimensionality of some decision variables. Both models and the 3P-PCB-PH algorithm are used …


Special Types Of Tolerance And Control Solutions To System Of Interval Linear Equations, Warintorn Pongsumrankul Jan 2021

Special Types Of Tolerance And Control Solutions To System Of Interval Linear Equations, Warintorn Pongsumrankul

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

In this thesis, we study a system of interval linear equations of the form Ax=b which includes an interval coefficient matrix and an interval right hand side vector. There are many types of solutions of this system which serve the different semantics in real-life situations such as tolerance and control solutions. We pay attention to the semantics that some boundaries of intervals are important. Moreover, we combine these semantics together with the semantics of tolerance and control solutions in order to present the new types of solutions to Ax=b, called special tolerance left, special tolerance right, special control left and …


Preservers Of The Local Spectral Radius Zero Of Jordan Product Of Operators, Mhamed Elhodaibi, Somaya Saber Jan 2021

Preservers Of The Local Spectral Radius Zero Of Jordan Product Of Operators, Mhamed Elhodaibi, Somaya Saber

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $\mathscr{B}(X)$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on an infinite-dimensional complex Banach space $X$, and denote by $r_{T}(x)$ the local spectral radius of any operator $T \in \mathscr{B}(X)$ at any vector $x \in X$. In this paper, we characterize surjective maps $\phi$ on $ \mathscr{B}(X)$ satisfying $ r_{\phi(T)\phi(A) + \phi(A)\phi(T)}(x)=0$ if and only if $ r_{TA+AT}(x)=0 $


Integer-Valued Polynomials Satisfying The Lucas Property, Rattiya Meesa, Vichian Laohakosol, Tuangrat Chaichana Jan 2021

Integer-Valued Polynomials Satisfying The Lucas Property, Rattiya Meesa, Vichian Laohakosol, Tuangrat Chaichana

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The classical theorem of Lucas states that the binomial polynomials, which form a basis for integer-valued polynomials, satisfy a congruence relation related to their integer parameters. We consider here three problems connected with this result in the setting of discrete valued structures. The first problem asks for the shapes of Lagrange-type interpolation polynomials which constitute a basis for integer-valued polynomials and satisfy the Lucas property; the result so obtained extends a 2001 result of Boulanger and Chabert. For the second problem, we show that the Carlitz polynomials, which form a basis for integer-valued polynomials in a function field, satisfy the …


Integer Partitions Under Certain Finiteness Conditions, Tim Wagner Jan 2021

Integer Partitions Under Certain Finiteness Conditions, Tim Wagner

Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports

This dissertation focuses on problems related to integer partitions under various finiteness restrictions. Much of our work involves the collection of partitions fitting inside a fixed partition $\lambda$, and the associated generating function $G_{\lambda}$.

In Chapter 2, we discuss the flawlessness of such generating functions, as proved by Pouzet using the Multicolor Theorem. We give novel applications of the Multicolor Theorem to re-prove flawlessness of pure $O$-sequences, and show original flawlessness results for other combinatorial sequences. We also present a linear-algebraic generalization of the Multicolor Theorem that may have far-reaching applications.

In Chapter 3, we extend a technique due to …


Major Index Over Descent Distributions Of Standard Young Tableaux, Emily Anible Jan 2021

Major Index Over Descent Distributions Of Standard Young Tableaux, Emily Anible

Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports

This thesis concerns the generating functions $f_{\lambda, k}(q)$ for standard Young tableaux of shape $\lambda$ with precisely $k$ descents, aiming to find closed formulas for a general form given by Kirillov and Reshetikhin in 1988. Throughout, we approach various methods by which further closed forms could be found. In Chapter 2 we give closed formulas for tableaux of any shape and minimal number of descents, which arise as principal specializations of Schur functions. We provide formulas for tableaux with three parts and one more than minimal number of descents, and demonstrate that the technique is extendable to any number of …


A Mathematical Analysis Of The Wind Triangle Problem And An Inquiry Of True Airspeed Calculations In Supersonic Flight, Leonard T. Huang, Lisa I. Cummings Jan 2021

A Mathematical Analysis Of The Wind Triangle Problem And An Inquiry Of True Airspeed Calculations In Supersonic Flight, Leonard T. Huang, Lisa I. Cummings

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

In the first half of this paper, we present a fresh perspective toward the Wind Triangle Problem in aerial navigation by deriving necessary and sufficient conditions, which we call "go/no-go conditions", for the existence/non-existence of a solution of the problem. Although our derivation is based on simple trigonometry and basic properties of quadratic functions, it is mathematically rigorous. We also offer examples to demonstrate how easy it is to check these conditions graphically. In the second half of this paper, we use function theory to re-examine another problem in aerial navigation, namely, that of computing true airspeed — even in …


Integer-Valued Polynomials Over Discrete Valuation Domains, Rattiya Meesa Jan 2021

Integer-Valued Polynomials Over Discrete Valuation Domains, Rattiya Meesa

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

The classical theorem of Lucas states that binomial polynomials, which form a basis for integer-valud polynomials, satisfy a congruence relation, modulo a prime, related to their digits in the base prime representation. In this thesis, we define the Lucas property in the setting of discrete-valued structures and investigate when and where the Lucas property holds. General criteria are derived for bases of integervalued polynomials in this setting to satisfy the Lucas property. Examples of bases including those of Lagrange type and of Carlitz-like polynomials are worked out. In addition, one of the best known properties of binomial polynomials in the …


Detailing The Connection Between A Family Of Polar Graphs And Tremain Equiangular Tight Frames, Nicholas Brown Jan 2021

Detailing The Connection Between A Family Of Polar Graphs And Tremain Equiangular Tight Frames, Nicholas Brown

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The relationship between strongly regular graphs and equiangular tight frames has been known for several years, and this relationship has been used to construct many of the most recent examples of new strongly regular graphs. In this paper, we present an explicit construction of a family of equiangular tight frames using the geometry of a quadratic space over the field of four elements. We observe that these frames give rise to a strongly regular graph on a subset of points of a quadratic space over the field with 4 elements. We then demonstrate an isomorphism between this graph and a …


Higher Homotopy Invariants For Spaces And Maps, David Blanc, Mark W. Johnson Jan 2021

Higher Homotopy Invariants For Spaces And Maps, David Blanc, Mark W. Johnson

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

For a pointed topological space X, we use an inductive construction of a simplicial resolution of X by wedges of spheres to construct a “higher homotopy structure” for X (in terms of chain complexes of spaces). This structure is then used to define a collection of higher homotopy invariants which suffice to recover X up to weak equivalence. It can also be used to distinguish between different maps f : X → Y which induce the same morphism f∗ : π∗X → π∗Y.


Predicting Carcass Cut Yields In Cattle From Digitalimages Using Artificial Intelligence, Darragh Matthews Jan 2021

Predicting Carcass Cut Yields In Cattle From Digitalimages Using Artificial Intelligence, Darragh Matthews

Theses

Beef carcass classification in Europe is predicated on the EUROP grid for both fatness and conformation. Although this system performs well for grouping visually similar carcasses, it cannot be used to accurately predict meat yields from these groups, especially when considered on an individual cut level. Deep Learning (DL) has proven to be a successful tool for many image classification problems but has yet to be fully proven in a regression scenario using carcass images. Here we have trained DL models to predict carcass cut yields and compared predictions to more standard machine learning (ML) methods. Three approaches were undertaken …


A Class Of Operators Related To $M$-Symmetric Operators, Fei Zuo, Salah Mecheri Jan 2021

A Class Of Operators Related To $M$-Symmetric Operators, Fei Zuo, Salah Mecheri

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

$m$-symmetric operator plays a crucial role in the development of operator theory and has been widely studied due to unexpected intimate connections with differential equations, particularly conjugate point theory and disconjugacy. For positive integers $m$ and $k$, an operator $T$ is said to be a $k$-quasi-$m$-symmetric operator if $T^{*k}(\sum\limits_{j=0}^{m}(-1)^{j}(^{m}_{j})T^{*m-j}T^{j})T^{k}=0$, which is a generalization of $m$-symmetric operator. In this paper, some basic structural properties of $k$-quasi-$m$-symmetric operators are established with the help of operator matrix representation. In particular, we also show that every $k$-quasi-$3$-symmetric operator has a scalar extension. Finally, we prove that generalized Weyl's theorem holds for $k$-quasi-$3$-symmetric operators.


Topics On Applications Of Optimization Theories On Statistical Methodologies, Duc Anh Anh Doan Jan 2021

Topics On Applications Of Optimization Theories On Statistical Methodologies, Duc Anh Anh Doan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this dissertation, We show the results of our researches in statistical sampling, functional optimization, and methodology for partially observed Markov process (POMP) models. In statistical sampling, we introduce a p-generalized smoothing method that enables the Langevin-Monte Carlo method to generate a sample from a log concave distribution weakly smoothing potential function. For our optimization research, we introduce an accelerated inexact gradient (AIG) method. Combining the strengths while mitigating the weakness of its parent methods: gradient descent and Nesterov's accelerated gradient, AIG converges with excellent rates for both convex and non-convex optimization problems for smooth objective functions. Furthermore, we also …

Geometric Morphometric Analyses Define Riverine And Lacustrine Species Flocks Of Himalayan Snowtrout (Cyprinidae: Schizothorax) In Nepal, Binod Regmi, Marlis R. Douglas, David R. Edds, Michael E. Douglas

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Freshwater fishes in the river and lake systems in the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau are morphologically diverged but the evolutionary relationship of putative subspecies separated in these freshwater systems has not been explored. Snowtrout (Schizothorax spp.) are minnows (Cyprinidae) broadly distributed in Asia. Body shapes of 3 Lake Rara (northwest Nepal) endemics (S. macrophthalmus, S. nepalensis, S. raraensis) and 2 widely distributed riverine species (S. progastus, S. richardsonii) across 3 drainages in Nepal (i.e. Karnali, Gandaki, and Koshi Rivers) were studied using geometric morphometry. Data were derived from museum voucher specimens/tissues collected …
