Differential Topology And The Poincaré-Hopf Theorem, Tara Saini

Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal

In this paper, we will develop the ideas needed to understand and prove the Poincaré–Hopf Theorem, which connects the local behavior of smooth vector fields to global topological properties. We will begin by introducing smooth manifolds and smooth maps, which are the basis of differential topology. We will then define derivatives of smooth maps through tangent spaces and use these to classify points. To build toward the theorem, we will introduce orientation, degree, and smooth vector fields. These concepts will culminate in a proof of the Poincaré–Hopf Theorem, aided by Brouwer’s Fixed Point Theorem. Finally, we will apply the result …

(R2170) Delta-Continuous Functions In Interval-Valued Neutrosophic Soft Topological Spaces And An Application Using Distance And Similarity Measures, B. Vijayalakshmi, S. Madhunika

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This paper introduces delta-continuous functions in interval-valued neutrosophic soft topological spaces and investigates their fundamental properties. Additionally, delta-irresolute functions are introduced within the same framework. The relationships between these functions and existing function classes are explored. Several theorems, accompanied by illustrative examples, are provided to support the theoretical findings. The study also includes an application of the proposed concepts to distance and similarity measures.

Classes Of Analytic Functions Defined By Salagean Derivative Operator Associated With Neutrosophic Generalized Poisson Distribution, Soliu O. Opeyemi Okunola, Olushola Adeyemo, Sayo A. Abidemi Gbangbala, Folorunso I. Isola Akinwale

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

This study introduces and analyses new subclasses of analytic functions by applying the Salagean derivative operator to the Neutrosophic Generalized Poisson Distribution (NGPD) series. We develop a model where the mean parameter is treated as an interval or set to account for indeterminacy in complex systems. By employing Stirling numbers of the second kind and decreasing factorials, we derive necessary and sufficient coefficient inequalities and inclusion relations for these new subclasses. Numerical results and graphical illustrations demonstrate the sensitivity of these functions to orientation and the neutrosophic parameter, providing a framework for applications in fields like medical imaging and network …

Unique Combinations Of Packing Integer Squares, Keith M. Dreiling, Austin Leanna, William Mooney

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

This research investigates a function, informally named WAK(x), that describes the number of ways to divide an integer square into integer subsquares counting only the list of parts. Previous research has shown values up to 28, though finding these values is computationally complex and requires a long runtime using computer algorithms. We attempt to find patterns in the values and many aspects of the values, hoping to find a general solution. We are unsure if a solution exists, but we have ideas for how to move forward in finding a solution.

A 4-Dimensional Rubik’S Cube You Can Hold: How It’S Possible And The Math Behind It, Eric J. Moon

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

This poster examines the physical 2x2x2x2, a hand-held realization of a 4-dimensional Rubik’s Cube invented by Melinda Green. Unlike most higher-dimensional twisty puzzles, which exist only as software simulations, this puzzle provides a physical model for exploring 4-dimensional rotation, symmetry, and solving methods. The poster introduces the structure of the puzzle, its canonical move system, and several algebraic ideas that help explain how scrambling and solving work.

From a mathematical perspective, the puzzle can be studied using group actions, commutators, conjugation, and combinatorial counting. In particular, the number of reachable states depends on corner permutations, corner orientations, parity restrictions, twist …

(Si16-04) Some Fixed Point Theorems On Chatterjea Type Contractions, Irom Shashikanta Singh, Y. Mahendra Singh

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This paper establishes the existence of fixed points related to strict Chatterjee contractive mappings by relaxing the compactness of the underlying spaces and the continuity of the mapping involved, using altering distance functions and comparison functions in the general setting of metric spaces. Several non-trivial and illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate, support, and validate the obtained theoretical results. In addition, a theorem that can characterize the completeness of metric spaces through the existence of fixed points is rigorously proven and discussed. Furthermore, a theorem on strict Chatterjea-type modulus contractive mappings without continuity assumptions and with relaxed compactness conditions is …

(Si16-06) Equations Of Geodesics In Two-Dimensional Finsler Manifold With A Special Cubic (Α, Β)-Metric, Sejal Prajapati, Brijesh Kumar Tripathi, V. K. Chaubey

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Geodesics represent the shortest path between two points in curved spacetime and are vital in the study of Finsler manifolds. Matsumoto and Park first derived the geodesic equation as a secondorder differential equation in a two-dimensional Finsler manifold with Randers, Kropina, and Matsumoto metrics. Building on this foundation, our paper presents the geodesic differential equation for a two-dimensional Finsler manifold using a special cubic power metric. In this two-dimensional setting, this work also looks at certain well-known geometric curves and analyzes their variants as solutions to the geodesic differential equation. Additionally, this work examines the geometric applications of the geodesic’s …

(R2137) Smarandache Curved Ruled Surfaces And Their Characterizations According To Modified Orthogonal Frame In E^3, Gülnur Şaffak Atalay

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this study, the ruled surfaces generated by Smarandache curves are expressed according to the modified orthogonal frame defined according to both curvature and torsion of the given unit speed curve in 3-dimensional Euclidean space; some special characterizations of these surfaces such as developability, striction curves, distribution parameters are given. In addition, some examples of these surfaces are given in graphical form. We use Maple to draw the graphs of the examples.

Euler’S Original Derivation Of Elastica Equation, Shigeki Matsutani

Euleriana

Euler derived the differential equations of elastica by the variational method in 1744, but his original derivation has never been properly interpreted or explained in terms of modern mathematics. We elaborate Euler's original derivation of elastica and show that Euler used Noether's theorem concerning the translational symmetry of elastica, although Noether published her theorem in 1918. It is also shown that his equation is essentially the static modified KdV equation which is obtained by the isometric and isoenergy conditions, known as the Goldstein-Petrich scheme.

White Horses In The Sky: Or The Magical Place Where Topology Meets Poetry, Sanziana Caraman, Lorelei Caraman

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

What do Shakespearean words, doughnuts, cups of tea, and horses in the sky all have in common with a famous theorem? To discover the answer, we take you on a journey in a strange, enchanted land: the land where mathematics meets poetry. Here we explore how a fundamental literary trope, metaphor, and a fundamental result in topology, Brouver's Fixed Point Theorem, touch and illuminate one another. Delving into the symmetry of this transdisciplinary embrace, we find that it reveals, not only the beauty of poetry and mathematics, but that of life itself: the beauty hidden in ordinary things like a …

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The aim of this study, the conditions for a conformable curve and its spherical indicator curves to be a Tzitzeica curve, will be examined. Thus, by understanding the behavior of the Tzitzeica curve, researchers can gain insight into complex systems and make more accurate predictions about their behavior.

(R2093) Fixed Point Of Hybrid Jaggi-Meir-Keeler Type Multivalued Contraction, Sirajo Yahaya, Mohammed Shehu Shagari

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

One of the most applicable results in metric fixed point theory is based on the contractive inequalities, including both rational and non-rational types. In this manuscript, a general idea under the name Jaggi-Meir-Keeler hybrid type multivalued contraction is introduced. We investigate the existence of fixed points for such operators in the setting of a complete metric space. The presented concept herein unifies the above-mentioned contractions and the corresponding invariant point results. A comparative nontrivial example is constructed to show the connection between the main idea in this paper and the related literature.

Counting The Classes Of Projectively-Equivalent Pentagons On Finite Projective Planes Of Prime Order, Maxwell Hosler

Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal

In this paper, we examine the number of equivalence classes of pentagons on finite projective planes of prime order under projective transformations. We are interested in those pentagons in general position, meaning that no three vertices are collinear. We consider those planes which can be constructed from finite fields of prime order, and use algebraic techniques to characterize them by their symmetries. We are able to construct a unique representative for each pentagon class with nontrivial symmetries. We can then leverage this fact to count classes of pentagons in general. We discover that there are (1/10)((p+3)(p-3)+4 …

Nano Topology And Decision Making In Medical Applications, Samir Mukhtar, Mohamed Shokry, Manar Omran

Journal of Engineering Research

Nano Topology is one of the essential topics that receive special attention from some athletes in the field of General Topology, Operations Research, and Computer Science, because it has a vital role in the generalizing most of the various mathematical concepts. Recently, many efforts have been made to study many types of Nano Topology, as the previous studies lacked real applications in Engineering, Medicine, Pharmacy, and Social Sciences. In this paper, we present some different applications of these studies. The paper is divided into two parts: Firstly, we study the theory of The Nano Topology and investigate its relation with …

New Operation Defined Over Dual-Hesitant Fuzzy Set And Its Application In Diagnostics In Medicine, Manar Mohamed Omran, Reham Abdel-Aziz Abo-Khadra

Journal of Engineering Research

In recent decades, several types of sets, such as fuzzy sets, interval-valued fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets, type 2 fuzzy sets, type n fuzzy sets, and hesitant fuzzy sets, have been introduced and investigated widely. In this paper, we propose dual hesitant fuzzy sets (DHFSs), which encompass fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, hesitant fuzzy sets, and fuzzy multi-sets as special cases. Then we investigate the basic operations and properties of DHFSs. We also discuss the relationships among the sets mentioned above, and then propose an extension principle of DHFSs. Additionally, we give an example to illustrate …

Circling The Square: Computing Radical Two, Isaiah Mellace, Joshua Kroeker

NEXUS: The Liberty Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies

Discoveries of equations for irrational numbers are not new. From Newton’s Method to Taylor Series,there are many ways to calculate the square root of two to arbitrary precision. The following method is similar in this way, but it is also a fascinating derivation from geometry that has applications to other irrationals. Additionally, the equation derived has some properties that may lead to fast computation. The first part of this paper is dedicated to deriving the equation, and the second is focused on computer science implementations and optimizations.

Are All Weakly Convex And Decomposable Polyhedral Surfaces Infinitesimally Rigid?, Jilly Kevo

Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal

It is conjectured that all decomposable (that is, interior can be triangulated without adding new vertices) polyhedra with vertices in convex position are infinitesimally rigid and only recently has it been shown that this is indeed true under an additional assumption of codecomposability (that is, the interior of the difference between the convex hull and the polyhedron itself can be triangulated without adding new vertices). One major set of tools for studying infinitesimal rigidity happens to be the (negative) Hessian M_T of the discrete Hilbert-Einstein functional. Besides its theoretical importance, it provides the necessary machinery to tackle the problem …

An Icosahedron For Two: A Many-Sided Look At Making A Duet, Colleen T. Wahl

LASER Journal

The space around our bodies is not empty or neutral. In fact, the space around our bodies is loaded with meaning and important. When we move through it, whether it be in our daily lives or a choreographer making specific choices in order to convey a message, we activate new understandings in our lives. As a dancer and choreographer, I created a duet from improvisational climbs on an icosahedron. This article discusses choreographing from the form icosahedron and connects Laban's theories of space harmony with the activation of meaning in my life.

Eigenvalue Algorithm For Hausdorff Dimension On Complex Kleinian Groups, Jacob Linden, Xuqing Wu

Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal

In this manuscript, we present computational results approximating the Hausdorff dimension for the limit sets of complex Kleinian groups. We apply McMullen's eigenvalue algorithm \cite{mcmullen} in symmetric and non-symmetric examples of complex Kleinian groups, arising in both real and complex hyperbolic space. Numerical results are compared with asymptotic estimates in each case. Python code used to obtain all results and figures can be found at \url{https://github.com/WXML-HausDim/WXML-project}, all of which took only minutes to run on a personal computer.

Elliptic Triangles Which Are Congruent To Their Polar Triangles, Jarrad S. Epkey, Morgan Nissen, Noelle K. Kaminski, Kelsey R. Hall, Nicholas Grabill

Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal

We prove that an elliptic triangle is congruent to its polar triangle if and only if six specific Wallace-Simson lines of the triangle are concurrent. (If a point projected onto a triangle has the three feet of its projections collinear, that line is called a Wallace-Simson line.) These six lines would be concurrent at the orthocenter. The six lines come from projecting a vertex of either triangle onto the given triangle. We describe how to construct such triangles and a dozen Wallace-Simson lines.

The Mean Sum Of Squared Linking Numbers Of Random Piecewise-Linear Embeddings Of $K_N$, Yasmin Aguillon, Xingyu Cheng, Spencer Eddins, Pedro Morales

Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal

DNA and other polymer chains in confined spaces behave like closed loops. Arsuaga et al. \cite{AB} introduced the uniform random polygon model in order to better understand such loops in confined spaces using probabilistic and knot theoretical techniques, giving some classification on the mean squared linking number of such loops. Flapan and Kozai \cite{flapan2016linking} extended these techniques to find the mean sum of squared linking numbers for random linear embeddings of complete graphs $K_n$ and found it to have order $\Theta(n(n!))$. We further these ideas by inspecting random piecewise-linear embeddings of complete graphs and give introductory-level summaries of the ideas …

One Theorem, Two Ways: A Case Study In Geometric Techniques, John B. Little

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

If the three sides of a triangle ABΓ in the Euclidean plane are cut by points H on AB, Θ on BΓ, and K on ΓA cutting those sides in same ratios:

AH : HB = BΘ : ΘΓ = ΓK : KA,

then Pappus of Alexandria proved that the triangles ABΓ and HΘK have the same centroid (center of mass). We present two proofs of this result: an English translation of Pappus's original synthetic proof and a modern algebraic proof making use of Cartesian coordinates and vector concepts. Comparing the two methods, we can see that while the algebraic …

(R1957) Some Types Of Continuous Function Via N-Neutrosophic Crisp Topological Spaces, A. Vadivel, C. John Sundar

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The aim of this article is to introduced a new type of continuous functions such as N-neutrosophic crisp gamma continuous and weakly N-neutrosophic crisp gamma continuous functions in a N-neutrosophic crisp topological space and also discuss a relation between them in a N-neutrosophic crisp topological spaces. We also investigate some of their properties in N-neutrosophic crisp gamma continuous function via N-neutrosophic crisp topological spaces. Further, a contra part of continuity called N-neutrosophic crisp gamma-contra continuous map in a N-neutrosophic crisp topology is also initiated. Finally, an application based on neutrosophic score function of medical diagnosis is examined with graphical representation.

(R2026) Special Smarandache Ruled Surfaces According To Flc Frame In E^3, Süleyman Şenyurt, Kebire Hilal Ayvacı, Davut Canlı

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this study, we introduce some special ruled surfaces according to the Flc frame of a given polynomial curve. We name these ruled surfaces as TD₂, TD₁ ve D₂D₁ Smarandache ruled surfaces and provide their characteristics such as Gauss and mean curvatures in order to specify their developability and minimality conditions. Moreover, we examine the conditions if the parametric curves of the surfaces are asymptotic, geodesic or curvature line. Such conditions are also argued in terms of the developability and minimality conditions. Finally, we give an example and picture the corresponding graphs of ruled …

Also, we give the sufficient conditions that make these surfaces are equiform developable and equiform minimal related to the equiform curvatures and when the equiform base curve contained in a plane or general helix. Finally, we provide an example, such as these surfaces.
