Q-Rational Functions And Interpolation With Complete Nevanlinna–Pick Kernels, Daniel Alpay, Paula Cerejeiras, Uwe Kaehler, Baruch Schneider

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

In this paper we introduce the concept of matrix-valued q-rational functions. In comparison to the classical case, we give different characterizations with principal emphasis on realizations and discuss algebraic manipulations. We also study the concept of Schur multipliers and complete Nevanlinna–Pick kernels in the context of q-deformed reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and provide first applications in terms of an interpolation problem using Schur multipliers and complete Nevanlinna–Pick kernels.

Translating Scientific Latin Texts With Artificial Intelligence: The Works Of Euler And Contemporaries, Sylvio R. Bistafa

Euleriana

The major hindrance in the study of earlier scientific literature is the availability of Latin translations into modern languages. This is particularly true for the works of Euler who authored about 850 manuscripts and wrote a thousand letters and received back almost two thousand more. The translation of many of these manuscripts, books and letters have been published in various sources over the last two centuries, but many more have not yet appeared. Fortunately, nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) translation can be used to circumvent the challenges of translating such substantial number of texts. To validate this tool, benchmark tests have …

About The Cases In Which The Formula X^4+Mxxyy+Y^4 Can Be Reduced To A Square, Georg Ehlers

Euleriana

Euler continues a previous study on the title Quartic (E696) with a new approach. His starting point here is the observation that, when the title Quartic is solved for m, the resulting fraction becomes an integer when z=ax^2y^2-(x^2±y^2). He provides many quadratic forms for m that allow special solutions, and tables for |m|≤200. Even though the tables are known today to be incomplete, they allow an insight into the enormous amount of work that was needed for their compilation.

The interest in the title Quartic predates Euler, and the fact that he resumed the study indicates a …

Some Studies On Mathematical Morphology In Remotely Sensed Data Analysis, Geetika Barman

Doctoral Theses

The application of Mathematical Morphology (MM) techniques has proven to be beneficial in the extraction of shapebased and texture-based features during remote sensing image analysis. The characteristics of these techniques, such as nonlinear adaptability and comprehensive lattice structure, make them useful for contextual spatial feature analysis. Despite the advancements, there are still persistent challenges, including the curse of dimensionality, maintaining spatial correlation, and the adaptability of morphological operators in higher dimensions. The focus of this thesis is to explore the potential of MM-based methods to analyse spatial features in addressing these challenges, specifically in the context of spatialcontextual feature analysis …

A Correspondence Between Deep Boltzmann Machines And P-Adic Statistical Field Theories, Wilson A. Zuniga-Galindo

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications

There is a strong interest in studying the correspondence between Euclidean quantum fields and neural networks. This correspondence takes different forms depending on the type of networks considered. In this work, we study this correspondence in the case of deep Boltzmann machines (DBMs) having a tree-like topology. We use p-adic numbers to encode this type of topology. A p-adic continuous DBM is a statistical field theory (SFT) defined by an energy functional on the space of square-integrable functions defined on a p-adic N-dimensional ball. The energy functionals are non-local, meaning they depend on the interaction of all the neurons forming …

The Heat Kernel On A Finite Graph In Different Time-Scales, Yang Chen, Jay Jorgenson, Luis Lopez, Lejla Smajlovic

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let G be a finite, weighted graph, and let [[EQUATION]] be a Time-scale with a fixed point [[EQUATION]] such that sup[[EQUATION]]. In this paper we construct the heat kernel on G in Time-scale [[EQUATION]] in terms of a certain convolution series involving he heat operator acting on a parametrix, which is a fairly general function depending on the vertex set of G and the time variable [[EQUATION]]. We develop some applications by choosing different parametrices and various Time-scales. The results we obtain here do extend, in part, aspects of the recent articles in that the Time-scale considered in this paper …

Φ−Pluriharmonicity And Φ−Invariance Of Pointwise Bislant Riemanniansubmersions, Grayson Light, Cem Sayar, Mehmet Aki̇f Akyol

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this research, we investigate the intriguing realm of pointwise bislant Riemannian submersions, a generalizationof many previous submersions, such as antiinvariant, slant, semislant, pointwise slant, pointwise semislant,and bislant submersions, within the framework of almost product manifolds. After giving an original example, wedelve into the submersion’s integrability conditions and geodesics. We explore the concept of φ−pluriharmonicity andφ−invariance within this context. The study sheds light on the profound interplay between pointwise bislant submersions’fibers and their being either geodesic or mixed geodesic, offering valuable insights into these intriguing mappings’geometric properties.

Comprehensive Computational Study On Transient Heat Transfer In Functionally Graded Longitudinal Fins Under Time-Varying Laser Heating, Hüseyi̇n Demi̇r, İnci̇ Çi̇li̇ngi̇r Süngü, İbrahi̇m Keleş

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The present study assumes that the material properties of the fin vary by a force rule in the axial direction, with the exception of the thermal relaxation coefficient, which is assumed to be constant. The temperature distribution in the longitudinal fin with homogeneous cross-section exposed to the laser heat source is numerically investigated. This is because these constraints lead to a linear differential equation with partial solutions that can't be analytically resolved using conventional methods, except for a few elementary order functions. Consequently, a linear or non-linear system of equations as a function of time is obtained by transforming a …

A Note On The Hull And Linear Complementary Pair Of Cyclic Codes, Zohreh Aliabadi, Tekgül Kalayci

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The Euclidean hull of a linear code C is defined as C ∩ C⊥ , where C⊥ denotes the dual of C underthe Euclidean inner product. A linear code with the trivial hull is called a linear complementary dual (LCD) code. Apair (C,D) of linear codes of length n over the finite field Fq is called a linear complementary pair (LCP) of codes ifC ⊕ D = Fnq. More generally, a pair (C,D) of linear codes of the same length over Fq is called a linear ℓ -intersectionpair of codes if C ∩D has dimension ℓ as a vector space …

A Short Note On Generalized Robertson Walker Spacetimes, Uday Chand De, Aydin Gezer

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article, generalized Robertson Walker spacetimes are investigated in light of perfect fluid spacetimes. First, we establish that a perfect fluid spacetime with non-vanishing vorticity whose associated scalars are constant along the velocity vector field becomes a generalized Robertson Walker spacetime. Among others, it is also shown that a Ricci parallel perfect fluid spacetime is either a generalized Robertson Walker spacetime or a static spacetime. Finally, we acquire that in a conformally semi-symmetric generalized Robertson Walker spacetime of dimension $4$, the scalar curvature vanishes and the spacetime is locally isometric to the Minkowski spacetime, provided the electric part of …

Spherical Product Hypersurfaces In Euclidean Spaces, Sezgi̇n Büyükkütük, Günay Öztürk

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Spherical product surfaces are obtained with the help of a special product by considering two curves inn−dimensional space. One of their special cases is rotational surface. The reason why the present study is significantthat the spherical product is used to construct hypersurfaces. (n−1)−curves are needed during this construction. Firstly,the spherical product hypersurfaces are defined in E4 , Gaussian and mean curvature are yielded and then conditionsbeing flat or minimal are examined. Moreover, superquadrics, which are associated with spherical product, are handledfor the first time in hypersurface form and give some examples. Finally, spherical product hypersurfaces are generalizedto n−dimensional Euclidean space …

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let S be a suitable subsemigroup of a locally compact abelian group and let T={T(s)}s(-S be a bounded and strongly continuous trepresentation of S on a Banach space X. In this note, we study the spectral conditions on T and the ergodic conditios on x in X which will imply that T(s)x-->0 strongly as s--> infinity through S.

Transmission Eigenvalues Problem Of A Schrödinger Equation, Emel Yildirim, Elgiz Bairamov

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, transmission eigenvalues of a Schrödinger equation have been studied by constructing a new inner product and using Weyl theory. Necessary conditions for these eigenvalues to be negative, real and finite have been examined. This method has provided a new framework related to transmission eigenvalue problems and investigation of their properties. The conclusions has been verified for special case of the problem.

Rings And Finite Fields Whose Elements Are Sums Or Differences Of Tripotents And Potents, Adel Abyzov, Stephen Cohen, Peter Danchev, Daniel Tapkin

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We significantly strengthen results on the structure of matrix rings over finite fields and applythem to describe the structure of the so-called weakly n-torsion clean rings. Specifically, we establish that, forany field F with either exactly seven or strictly more than nine elements, each matrix over F is presentableas a sum of of a tripotent matrix and a q-potent matrix if and only if each element in F is presentable as asum of a tripotent and a q-potent, whenever q > 1 is an odd integer. In addition, if Q is a power of an oddprime and F is a field …

A Sufficient Condition For The Wildness Of An Automorphism Of A Free Leibnizalgebra, Zeynep Özkurt

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we apply the criterion of Mikhalev and Umirbaev for the invertibility of an endomorphismof a finitely generated free Leibniz algebra via its Jacobian matrix to determine whether a given endomorphism is anautomorphism. Moreover, it is shown that the invertibility of the determinant of the Jacobian matrix of an automorphismimplies its wildness.

Minimal Separating Sets In Surfaces, Christopher Nelson Aagaard

Dissertations and Theses

Given a connected topolgical space X, we say that L ⊆ X is a minimal separating set if removing L from X gives a disconnected surface, butremoving any proper subset of L leaves the surface connected. We classify which embeddings of topological graphs are minimal separating in an orientable surface X with genus g, and construct a computer program to compute the number of such embeddings, and the number of topological graphs which admit such an embedding for g ≤ 5.

Coarse-Gridded Simulation Of The Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation With Machine Learning, Benjamin F. Akers, Kristina O. F. Williams

Faculty Publications

A numerical method for evolving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a coarse spatial grid is developed. This trains a neural network to generate the optimal stencil weights to discretize the second derivative of solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The neural network is embedded in a symmetric matrix to control the scheme’s eigenvalues, ensuring stability. The machine-learned method can outperform both its parent finite difference method and a Fourier spectral method. The trained scheme has the same asymptotic operation cost as its parent finite difference method after training. Unlike traditional methods, the performance depends on how close the initial data …

Symmetric Laminations Of Degree D And Identity Return Triangles In Degree 3, Thomas Sirna

All ETDs from UAB

Laminations of the unit disc were introduced by Thurston in the 1980s as a tool to study the Julia sets and the parameter spaces of complex polynomials. In general, a lamination will be the unit disc D (considered as a subset of the complex plane C, with the boundary of D denoted by S) along with a collection of chords in D that can only intersect at their endpoints on S. We call the chords of a lamination leaves. In most situations we also consider a map σd : S → S on the endpoints of the leaves defined by …

Meta-Analysis Of Set-Based Multiple Phenotype Association Test Based On Gwas Summary Statistics From Different Cohorts, Lirong Zhu, Shuanglin Zhang, Qiuying Sha

Michigan Tech Publications

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have emerged as popular tools for identifying genetic variants that are associated with complex diseases. Standard analysis of a GWAS involves assessing the association between each variant and a disease. However, this approach suffers from limited reproducibility and difficulties in detecting multi-variant and pleiotropic effects. Although joint analysis of multiple phenotypes for GWAS can identify and interpret pleiotropic loci which are essential to understand pleiotropy in diseases and complex traits, most of the multiple phenotype association tests are designed for a single variant, resulting in much lower power, especially when their effect sizes are small and …

Generalized Periodicity And Applications To Logistic Growth, Martin Bohner, Jaqueline Mesquita, Sabrina Streipert

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Classically, a continuous function f:R→R is periodic if there exists an ω>0 such that f(t+ω)=f(t) for all t∈R. The extension of this precise definition to functions f:Z→R is straightforward. However, in the so-called quantum case, where f:qN0→R (q>1), or more general isolated time scales, a different definition of periodicity is needed. A recently introduced definition of periodicity for such general isolated time scales, including the quantum calculus, not only addressed this gap but also inspired this work. We now return to the continuous case and present the concept of ν-periodicity that connects these different formulations of periodicity for …
