Multi-Symplectic Method For The Two-Component Camassa–Holm (2ch) System, Xiaojian Xi, Weipeng Hu, Bo Tang, Pingwei Deng, Zhijun Qiao
School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications
In this paper, the multi-symplectic formulations of the two-component Camassa–Holm system are presented. Both the multi-symplectic structure and two local conservation laws of the generalized two-component Camassa–Holm model are proposed for its first-order canonical form. Then, combining the Fourier pseudo-spectral method in the spatial domain with the midpoint method in the time dimension, the multi-symplectic Fourier pseudo-spectral scheme is constructed for the first-order canonical form. Meanwhile, the discrete scheme of the residuals of the multi-symplectic structure and two local conservation laws are also provided. By using the multi-symplectic Fourier pseudo-spectral scheme, the evolution of one- and two-soliton solutions for the …

Asymptotic Formula For Scattering Problems Related To Thin Metasurfaces, Zachary Jermain
Asymptotic Formula For Scattering Problems Related To Thin Metasurfaces, Zachary Jermain
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
The goal of this work is to develop an asymptotic formula for the behavior of a scattered electromagnetic field in the presence of a thin metamaterial known as a metasurface. By using a carefully chosen Green’s function and the single and double layer potentials we analyze the perturbed scattering problem in the presence of the metamaterial and a background scattering problem. By using Lippman-Schwinger type representation formulas for the two fields we develop the asymptotic formula for the perturbed field. From here we prove the asymptotic formula holds up to a specific error term based on the size of the …
Parallel Multigrid In Time For Chaotic Dynamical Systems, David Alan Vargas
Parallel Multigrid In Time For Chaotic Dynamical Systems, David Alan Vargas
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
Despite the fact that Parallel-in-Time (PinT) methods are predicted to become necessary to fully utilize next-generation exa- and zettascale machines, there are currently no known practical methods which scale well with the length of the time-domain for chaotic problems, due to exponential dependence of the condition number on the fastest chaotic timescale. I present modifications to the coarse-grid equations along with a novel rediscretization approach which together greatly improve convergence of the multigrid reduction in time (MGRIT) algorithm and allow the first known PinT speedup for a chaotic PDE. The novel Local Shadowing Relaxation (LSR) is presented as an alternative …
Higher Order Operator Splitting Schemes With Complex Coefficients And Applications, Arun Banjara
Higher Order Operator Splitting Schemes With Complex Coefficients And Applications, Arun Banjara
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
The goal of this dissertation is to apply the concept of Lie generators for linear semigroups induced by nonlinear flows, originally developed by J. R. Dorroh and J. W. Neuberger in the 1990’s [15], to approximate solutions of initial value problems like
x′(t) = F(x(t)), x(0) = x0, (1)
where F = (F1,··· ,FN), and Fi : RN ⊃ Ω -> RN. The method, sometimes referred to as ``Bernard Koopman’s Global Linearization Method,” traces its origins back to the works of Sophus Lie in the 1890’s [30], Gerhard Kowalewski in …
Improvements In Computational Techniques For Determining Ideal Class Groups And Class Numbers, Muhammed Rashad Erukulangara
Improvements In Computational Techniques For Determining Ideal Class Groups And Class Numbers, Muhammed Rashad Erukulangara
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The ideal class group is a fundamental concept in algebraic number theory, providing insights into the structure and factorization properties of the ring of integers of a number field. It measures the extent to which unique factorization fails in the ring of integers. Efficiently computing the ideal class group is crucial for exploring unproved heuristics in number theory and solving Diophantine equations. Additionally, the computation of the ideal class group has several cryptographic applications, such as schemes based on the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP), the computation of isogenies, and groups of unknown order. Despite its importance, much about the ideal …
P-Adic Quantum Mechanics, The Dirac Equation, And The Violation Of Einstein Causality, Wilson A. Zuniga-Galindo
P-Adic Quantum Mechanics, The Dirac Equation, And The Violation Of Einstein Causality, Wilson A. Zuniga-Galindo
School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications
This article studies the breaking of the Lorentz symmetry at the Planck length in quantum mechanics. We use three-dimensional ℘-adic vectors as position variables, while the time remains a real number. In this setting, the Planck length is 1/℘, where ℘ is a prime number, and the Lorentz symmetry is naturally broken. In the framework of the Dirac-von Neumann formalism for quantum mechanics, we introduce a new ℘-adic Dirac equation that predicts the existence of particles and antiparticles and charge conjugation like the standard one. The discreteness of the ℘-adic space imposes substantial restrictions on the solutions of the new …
The B-Chromatic Number Of Super Cycles, Blair E. Johnson
The B-Chromatic Number Of Super Cycles, Blair E. Johnson
DePaul Discoveries
The b-chromatic number, a characteristic studied in graph theory, was introduced less than 25 years ago, and while some statistics have been gathered of its properties, the b-chromatic number has yet to be explored in many graphs and circumstances. Before the Undergraduate Summer Research Program, I had no exposure to graph theory, let alone b-colorings. Throughout the program, I developed a fundamental understanding of the subject and began to pursue my own research inquiries. While this objective was difficult to attain at the beginning, I learned strategies and methods to hone my ability to delve into different graphs, and soon …

S-Preclones And The Galois Connection SPol–SInv, Part I, Peter Jipsen, Erkko Lehtonen, Reinhard Pöschel
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We consider S-operations f : An → A in which each argument is assigned a signum s ∈ S representing a “property” such as being order- preserving or order-reversing with respect to a fixed partial order on A. The set S of such properties is assumed to have a monoid structure reflecting the behaviour of these properties under the composition of S-operations (e.g., order-reversing composed with order-reversing is order- preserving). The collection of all S-operations with prescribed properties for their signed arguments is not a clone (since it is not closed under arbitrary identification of arguments), …
Pt-Symmetry-Enabled Stable Modes In A Multicore Fiber, Tamara Gratcheva, Yogesh N. Joglekar, Jay Gopalakrishnan
Pt-Symmetry-Enabled Stable Modes In A Multicore Fiber, Tamara Gratcheva, Yogesh N. Joglekar, Jay Gopalakrishnan
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
Open systems with balanced gain and loss, described by parity-time (PT -symmetric) Hamiltonians have been deeply explored over the past decade. Most explorations are limited to finite discrete models (in real or reciprocal spaces) or continuum problems in one dimension. As a result, these models do not leverage the complexity and variability of two-dimensional continuum problems on a compact support. Here, we investigate eigenvalues of the Schrödinger equation on a disk with zero boundary condition, in the presence of constant, PT -symmetric, gain-loss potential that is confined to two mirror-symmetric disks. We find a rich variety of exceptional points, re-entrant …

Bernstein-Nikol’Skii-Markov-Type Inequalities For Algebraic Polynomials In Aweighted Lebesgue Space In Regions With Cusps, Uğur Değer, Fahreddi̇n Abdullayev
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we study Bernstein-Nikol’skii-Markov type inequalities for arbitrary algebraic polynomials withrespect to a weighted Lebesgue space, where the weight functions have some singularities on a given contour. We considercurves which can contain a finite number of exterior and interior corners with power law tangency of the boundary arcs atthose points where the weight functions have both zeros and poles of finite order. The estimates are given for the growthof the module of derivatives for algebraic polynomials on the closure of a region bounded by a given curve, dependingon the behavior of weight functions, on the property of curve, …
On A Class Of Permutation Trinomials Over Finite Fields, Burcu Gülmez Temür, Buket Özkaya
On A Class Of Permutation Trinomials Over Finite Fields, Burcu Gülmez Temür, Buket Özkaya

In this paper, we study the permutation properties of the class of trinomials of the form f(x) = x4q+1 +λ1xq+4 +λ2x2q+3 ∈ Fq2 [x] , where λ1, λ2 ∈ Fq and they are not simultaneously zero. We find all necessary and sufficientconditions on λ1 and λ2 such that f(x) permutes Fq2 , where q is odd and q = 22k+1, k ∈ N.

Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, Caputo boundary value problems of order 3 < ζ ≤ 4 are investigated on the interval [0, 1] .By Guo-Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem, some criteria of existence and multiplicity of positive and decreasing solutionsare established. The main novelty of the paper lies in its capability to achieve positive solutions while the correspondingGreen’s function changes sign. Finally, two examples are provided to illustrate the application of these results.

Some Qualitative Results For Nonlocal Dynamic Boundary Value Problem Of Thermistor Type, Svetlin G. Georgiev, Mahammad Khuddush, Sanket Tikare
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
This paper is concerned with second-order nonlocal dynamic thermistor problem with two-point boundary conditions on time scales. By utilizing the fixed point theorems due to Schaefer and Rus, we establish some sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions. Further, we discuss the continuous dependence of solutions and four types of Ulam stability. We provide examples to support the applicability of our results.
Properties Of Gyrogroups Induced By Groups Whose Central Quotients Being 2-Engel, Jaturon Wattanapan, Teerapong Suksumran
Properties Of Gyrogroups Induced By Groups Whose Central Quotients Being 2-Engel, Jaturon Wattanapan, Teerapong Suksumran
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
A group Γ is said to be CCII if the quotient Γ/Z(Γ) is 2-Engel or, equivalently, commutator-inversion invariant, where Z(Γ) is the center of Γ. In this article, we prove algebraic and topological properties of gyrogroups that are induced by CCII groups. Then, using a classification of non-abelian groups of order n with n < 32, we determine all finite CCII groups of order less than 32.

Stacks In Einstein Gravity, Kadri̇ İlker Berktav
Stacks In Einstein Gravity, Kadri̇ İlker Berktav
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we examine stacky structures in certain Einstein gravity theories. In brief, using the classicalformulation of (vacuum) gravity, with vanishing cosmological constant, we first construct the stack of solutions to Einsteinfield equations on any given fixed manifold. Using a similar approach and setup, we also study Einstein’s gravity onfamilies of manifolds and define another stack encoding this situation. Later on, we focus on the gauge theoreticalinterpretation of 3D gravity and provide a natural stack associated with that interpretation. Finally, in a particularsetup, we give a natural morphism between the two stacks arising from different descriptions of 3D gravity.

New Oscillation Criteria For First-Order Differential Equations With General Delay Argument, Emad R. Attia, Irena Jadlovska
New Oscillation Criteria For First-Order Differential Equations With General Delay Argument, Emad R. Attia, Irena Jadlovska
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
This paper is concerned with the oscillation of solutions to a class of first-order differential equations withvariable coefficients and a general delay argument. New oscillation criteria are established, which improve and extendmany known results reported in the literature. A couple of illustrative examples are given to show the efficiency of thenewly obtained results. In particular, it is shown that our criteria partially fulfill a remaining gap in a recent sharp resultby Pituk et al. [31].

Interior Schauder-Type Estimates For M − Th Order Elliptic Operators Inrearrangement-Invariant Sobolev Spaces, Emi̇nağa M. Mamedov, Şeyma Çeti̇n
Interior Schauder-Type Estimates For M − Th Order Elliptic Operators Inrearrangement-Invariant Sobolev Spaces, Emi̇nağa M. Mamedov, Şeyma Çeti̇n
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this study, we investigate the m-th order elliptic operators on n-dimensional bounded domain Ω ⊂ Rnwith discontinuous coefficients in the rearrangement-invariant Sobolev space WmX (Ω). In general, the consideredrearrangement-invariant spaces are not separable, so the use of classical methods in these spaces requires substantialmodification of classical methods and a lot of preparation, concerning correctness of substitution operator, problemsrelated to the extension operator in such spaces, etc. For this purpose, the corresponding separable subspaces of thesespaces, in which the set of compact supported infinitely differentiable functions is dense, are introduced based on theshift operator. We establish interior Schauder-type estimates in …

Gauss Newton Method For Solving Variational Problems Of Pdes With Neural Network Discretizaitons, Wenrui Hao, Qingguo Hong, Xianlin Jin
Gauss Newton Method For Solving Variational Problems Of Pdes With Neural Network Discretizaitons, Wenrui Hao, Qingguo Hong, Xianlin Jin
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The numerical solution of differential equations using machine learning-based approaches has gained significant popularity. Neural network-based discretization has emerged as a powerful tool for solving differential equations by parameterizing a set of functions. Various approaches, such as the deep Ritz method and physics-informed neural networks, have been developed for numerical solutions. Training algorithms, including gradient descent and greedy algorithms, have been proposed to solve the resulting optimization problems. In this paper, we focus on the variational formulation of the problem and propose a Gauss–Newton method for computing the numerical solution. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the superlinear convergence properties …
If Subsequent Results Are Too Easy To Obtain, The Proof Most Probably Has Errors: Explanation Of The Empirical Observation, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
If Subsequent Results Are Too Easy To Obtain, The Proof Most Probably Has Errors: Explanation Of The Empirical Observation, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
Many modern mathematical proofs are very complex, checking them is difficult; as a result, errors sneak into published proofs, even into proofs published in highly reputable journals. Sometimes, the errors are repairable, but sometimes, it turns out that the supposedly proven result is actually wrong. When the error is not noticed for some time, the published result is used to prove many other results -- and when the error is eventually found, all these new results are invalidated. This happened several times. Since it is not realistic to more thoroughly check all the proofs, and we want to minimize the …
Why Angles Between Galactic Center Filaments And Galactic Plane Follow A Bimodal Distribution: A Symmetry-Based Explanation, Julio C. Urenda, Vladik Kreinovich
Why Angles Between Galactic Center Filaments And Galactic Plane Follow A Bimodal Distribution: A Symmetry-Based Explanation, Julio C. Urenda, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
Recent observations have shown that the angles between the Galaxy Center filaments and the Galactic plane follow a bimodal distribution: a large number of filaments are approximately orthogonal to the Galactic plane, a large number of filaments are approximately parallel to the Galactic plane, and much fewer filaments have other orientations. In this paper, we show this bimodal distribution can be explained by natural geometric symmetries.
Why Seismicity In Ireland Is Low: A Possible Geometric Explanation, Julio C. Urenda, Aaron Velasco, Vladik Kreinovich
Why Seismicity In Ireland Is Low: A Possible Geometric Explanation, Julio C. Urenda, Aaron Velasco, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
For each geographic location, its seismicity level is usually determined by how close this location is to the boundaries of tectonic plates. However, there is one notable exception: while Ireland and Britain are at approximately the same distance from such boundaries, the seismicity level in Ireland is much lower than in Britain. A recent paper provided a partial explanation for this phenomenon: namely, it turns out that the lithosphere under Ireland is unusually thick, and this can potentially lead to lower seismicity. However, the current explanation of the relation between the lithosphere thickness and seismicity level strongly depends on the …
Is Alaska Negative-Tax Arrangement Fair? Almost: Mathematical Analysis, Chon Van Le, Vladik Kreinovich
Is Alaska Negative-Tax Arrangement Fair? Almost: Mathematical Analysis, Chon Van Le, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
In the State of Alaska there is no state income tax. Instead, there is a negative tex: every year every resident gets some money from the state. At present, every resident -- from the poorest to the richest -- gets the exact same amount of money: in 2024, it is expected to be around $1500. A natural question is: Is this fair? Maybe poor people should get more since their needs are greater? Maybe the rich people should get proportionally more, since fairness means equal added happiness for all, and for rich people, extra $1500 is barely noticeable? There have …

For 2 X N Cases, Proportional Fitting Problem Reduces To A Single Equation, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
In many practical situations, for each of two classifications, we know the probabilities that a randomly selected object belong to different categories. For example, we know what proportion of people are below 20 years old, what proportion is between 20 and 30, etc., and we also know what proportion of people earns less than 10K, between 10K and 20K, etc. In such situations, we are often interested in proportion of people who are classified by two classifications into two given categories. For example, we are interested in the proportion of people whose age is between 20 and 30 and whose …

Stochastic Dominance: Cases Of Interval And P-Box Uncertainty, Kittawit Autchariyapanikul, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
Traditional decision theory recommendation about making a decision assume that we know both the probabilities of different outcomes of each possible decision, and we know the utility function -- that describes the decision maker's preferences. Sometimes, we can make a recommendation even when we only have partial information about utility. Such cases are known as cases of stochastic dominance. In other cases, in addition to not knowing the utility function, we also only have partial information about the probabilities of different outcomes. For example, we may only known bounds on the outcomes (case of interval uncertainty) or bounds on the …
