Quantitative Analysis Of A Stochastic Seitr Epidemic Model With Multiple Stages Of Infection And Treatment, Olusegun M. Otunuga, Mobolaji O. Ogunsolu Jan 2020

Quantitative Analysis Of A Stochastic Seitr Epidemic Model With Multiple Stages Of Infection And Treatment, Olusegun M. Otunuga, Mobolaji O. Ogunsolu

Mathematics Faculty Research

We present a mathematical analysis of the transmission of certain diseases using a stochastic susceptible-exposed-infectious-treated-recovered (SEITR) model with multiple stages of infection and treatment and explore the effects of treatments and external fluctuations in the transmission, treatment and recovery rates. We assume external fluctuations are caused by variability in the number of contacts between infected and susceptible individuals. It is shown that the expected number of secondary infections produced (in the absence of noise) reduces as treatment is introduced into the population. By defining RT,n and ℛT,n as the basic deterministic and stochastic reproduction …


Commutators, Little Bmo And Weak Factorization, Xuan Thinh Duong, Ji Li, Brett D. Wick, Dongyong Yang Jan 2018

Commutators, Little Bmo And Weak Factorization, Xuan Thinh Duong, Ji Li, Brett D. Wick, Dongyong Yang

Mathematics Faculty Research

In this paper, we provide a direct and constructive proof of weak factorization of h1 (ℝ×ℝ) (the predual of little BMO space bmo(ℝ×ℝ) studied by Cotlar-Sadosky and Ferguson-Sadosky), i.e., for every f Є h1 (ℝ×ℝ) there exist sequences {αkj} Є l and functions gjk, hkj Є L2 (ℝ2 ) such that [Equation Unavailable] in the sense of h1 (ℝ×ℝ), where H1 and H2 are the Hilbert transforms on the first and second variable, respectively. Moreover, the norm ║fh1║(ℝ×ℝ) is given in terms of ║gjk║ L2(ℝ2) and ║hkj║ L2(ℝ2). By duality, this directly implies a lower bound on the norm of …


Smirnov Class For Spaces With The Complete Pick Property, Alexandru Aleman, Michael Hartz, John E. Mccarthy, Stefan Richter Aug 2017

Smirnov Class For Spaces With The Complete Pick Property, Alexandru Aleman, Michael Hartz, John E. Mccarthy, Stefan Richter

Mathematics Faculty Research

We show that every function in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space with a normalized complete Pick kernel is the quotient of a multiplier and a cyclic multiplier. This extends a theorem of Alpay, Bolotnikov and Kaptanoğlu. We explore various consequences of this result regarding zero sets, spaces on compact sets and Gleason parts. In particular, using a construction of Salas, we exhibit a rotationally invariant complete Pick space of analytic functions on the unit disc for which the corona theorem fails.


Weak Factorizations Of The Hardy Space H1(RN) In Terms Of Multilinear Riesz Transforms, Ji Li, Brett D. Wick Jun 2017

Weak Factorizations Of The Hardy Space H1(RN) In Terms Of Multilinear Riesz Transforms, Ji Li, Brett D. Wick

Mathematics Faculty Research

This paper provides a constructive proof of the weak factorization of the classical Hardy space in terms of multilinear Riesz transforms. As a direct application, we obtain a new proof of the characterization of (the dual of ) via commutators of the multilinear Riesz transforms.


Spaces Of Dirichlet Series With The Complete Pick Property, John E. Mccarthy, Orr Moshe Shalit Jun 2017

Spaces Of Dirichlet Series With The Complete Pick Property, John E. Mccarthy, Orr Moshe Shalit

Mathematics Faculty Research

We consider reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of Dirichlet series with kernels of the form k(s,u)=∑ann−s−u¯, and characterize when such a space is a complete Pick space. We then discuss what it means for two reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces to be “the same”, and introduce a notion of weak isomorphism. Many of the spaces we consider turn out to be weakly isomorphic as reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces to the Drury–Arveson space Hd2 in d variables, where d can be any number in {1, 2,...,∞}, and in particular their multiplier algebras are unitarily equivalent to the multiplier algebra of Hd2. Thus, a …


The Corona Problem For Kernel Multiplier Algebras, Eric T. Sawyer, Brett D. Wick Dec 2016

The Corona Problem For Kernel Multiplier Algebras, Eric T. Sawyer, Brett D. Wick

Mathematics Faculty Research

We prove an alternate Toeplitz corona theorem for the algebras of pointwise kernel multipliers of Besov-Sobolev spaces on the unit ball in C, and for the algebra of bounded analytic functions on certain strictly pseudoconvex domains and polydiscs in higher dimensions as well. This alternate Toeplitz corona theorem extends to more general Hilbert function spaces where it does not require the complete Pick property. Instead, the kernel functions kx (y) of certain Hilbert function spaces H are assumed to be invertible multipliers on H and then we continue a research thread begun by Agler and McCarthy in 1999, and continued …


A Remark On The Multipliers On Spaces Of Weak Products Of Functions, Stefan Richter, Brett D. Wick May 2016

A Remark On The Multipliers On Spaces Of Weak Products Of Functions, Stefan Richter, Brett D. Wick

Mathematics Faculty Research

Operators on function spaces of form Cɸf = f ∘ ɸ, where ɸ is a fixed map are called composition operators with symbol ɸ. We study such operators acting on the Hilbert Hardy space over the right half-plane and characterize the situations when they are invertible, Fredholm, unitary, and Hermitian. We determine the normal composition operators with inner, respectively with Möbius symbol. In select cases, we calculate their spectra, essential spectra, and numerical ranges.


Commutators In The Two-Weight Setting, Irina Holmes, Michael T. Lacey, Brett D. Wick Feb 2016

Commutators In The Two-Weight Setting, Irina Holmes, Michael T. Lacey, Brett D. Wick

Mathematics Faculty Research

Let R be the vector of Riesz transforms on Rn and let μ,λ∈Ap be two weights on Rn, 1p(μ)→Lp(λ)|| is shown to be equivalent to the function b being in a BMO space adapted to μ and λ. This is a common extension of a result of Coifman–Rochberg–Weiss in the case of both λ and μ being Lebesgue measure, and Bloom in the case of dimension one.


The Von Neumann Inequality For 3 × 3 Matrices, Greg Knese Jan 2016

The Von Neumann Inequality For 3 × 3 Matrices, Greg Knese

Mathematics Faculty Research

This note details how recent work of Kosiński on the three point Pick interpolation problem on the polydisc can be used to prove the von Neumann inequality for d-tuples of commuting 3 x 3 contractive matrices.


Integrability And Regularity Of Rational Functions, Greg Knese Dec 2015

Integrability And Regularity Of Rational Functions, Greg Knese

Mathematics Faculty Research

Motivated by recent work in the mathematics and engineering literature, we study integrability and non-tangential regularity on the two-torus for rational functions that are holomorphic on the bidisk. One way to study such rational functions is to fix the denominator and look at the ideal of polynomials in the numerator such that the rational function is square integrable. A concrete list of generators is given for this ideal as well as a precise count of the dimension of the subspace of numerators with a specified bound on bidegree. The dimension count is accomplished by constructing a natural pair of commuting …


Pick Interpolation For Free Holomorphic Functions, Jim Agler, John E. Mccarthy Dec 2015

Pick Interpolation For Free Holomorphic Functions, Jim Agler, John E. Mccarthy

Mathematics Faculty Research

We give necessary and sufficient conditions to solve an interpolation problem for free holomorphic functions bounded in norm on a free polynomial polyhedron. As an application, we prove that every bounded holomorphic function on a polynomial polyhedron extends to a bounded free function.


Hankel Vector Moment Sequences And The Non-Tangential Regularity At Infinity Of Two Variable Pick Functions, Jim Agler, John E. Mccarthy Jan 2014

Hankel Vector Moment Sequences And The Non-Tangential Regularity At Infinity Of Two Variable Pick Functions, Jim Agler, John E. Mccarthy

Mathematics Faculty Research

A Pick function of variables is a holomorphic map from to , where is the upper halfplane. Some Pick functions of one variable have an asymptotic expansion at infinity, a power series with real numbers that gives an asymptotic expansion on non-tangential approach regions to infinity. In 1921 H. Hamburger characterized which sequences can occur. We give an extension of Hamburger's results to Pick functions of two variables.


Operator Monotone Functions And Löwner Functions Of Several Variables, Jim Agler, John E. Mccarthy, N J. Young Nov 2012

Operator Monotone Functions And Löwner Functions Of Several Variables, Jim Agler, John E. Mccarthy, N J. Young

Mathematics Faculty Research

We prove generalizations of Loewner's results on matrix monotone functions to several variables. We give a characterization of when a function of d variables is locally monotone on d-tuples of commuting self-adjoint n-by-n matrices. We prove a generalization to several variables of Nevanlinna's theorem describing analytic functions that map the upper half-plane to itself and satisfy a growth condition. We use this to characterize all rational functions of two variables that are operator monotone.
