Balanced And Functionally Balanced P-Groups, Menachem Shlossberg

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

In relation to Itzkowitz's problem, we show that a c-bounded P-group is balanced if and only if it is functionally balanced. We prove that for an arbitrary P-group, being functionally balanced is equivalent to being strongly functionally balanced. A special focus is given to the uniform free topological group defined over a uniform P-space. In particular, we show that this group is (functionally) balanced precisely when its subsets B_n, consisting of words of length at most n, are all (resp., functionally) balanced.

Compactly Supported Homeomorphisms As Long Direct Limits, Rafael Dahmen, Gábor Lukács

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

Let λ be a limit ordinal and consider a directed system of topological groups (G_α)_{α < λ} with topological embeddings as bonding maps and its directed union G=∪_{α < λ}G_α. There are two natural topologies on G: one that makes G the direct limit (colimit) in the category of topological spaces and one which makes G the direct limit (colimit) in the category of topological groups.

For λ = ω it is known that these topologies almost never coincide (Yamasaki's Theorem).

In my talk last year, I introduced the Long Direct Limit Conjecture, stating that …

Uncountable Discrete Sets And Forcing, Akira Iwasa

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

Suppose that a space X has no uncountable discrete subspace. We will discuss if forcing can create an uncountable discrete subspace of X.

Locally Compact Groups: Traditions And Trends, Karl Heinrich Hofmann, Wolfgang Herfort, Francesco G. Russo

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

For a lecture in the Topology+Algebra and Analysis section, the subject of locally compact groups appears particularly fitting: Historically and currently as well, the structure and representation theory of locally compact groups draws its methods from each of theses three fields of mathematics. Nowadays one might justifiably add combinatorics and number theory as sources. The example of a study of a class of locally compact groups called “near abelian,” undertaken by W. Herfort, K. H. Hofmann, and F. G. Russo, may be used to illustrate the liaison of topological group theory with this different areas of interest. Concepts like the …

Disjoint Infinity Borel Functions, Daniel Hathaway

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

Consider the statement that every uncountable set of reals can be surjected onto R by a Borel function. This is implied by the statement that every uncountable set of reals has a perfect subset. It is also implied by a new statement D which we will discuss: for each real a there is a Borel function f_a : RtoR and for each function g : RtoR there is a countable set G(g) of reals such that the following is true: for each a in R and for each function g : R to R, if f_a is disjoint …

Dense Subsets Of Function Spaces With No Non-Trivial Convergent Sequences, Vladimir V. Tkachuk

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

We will show that a monolithic compact space X is not scattered if and only if C_p(X) has a dense subset without non-trivial convergent sequences. Besides, for any cardinal κ ≥ c, the space R^κ has a dense subspace without non-trivial convergent sequences. If X is an uncountable σ-compact space of countable weight, then any dense set Y ⊂ C_p(X) has a dense subspace without non-trivial convergent sequences. We also prove that for any countably compact sequential space X, if C_p(X) has a dense k-subspace, then X is scattered.

Compactness Via Adherence Dominators, Bhamini M. P. Nayar, Terrence A. Edwards, James E. Joseph, Myung H. Kwack

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

This talk is based on a joint work by T. A. Edwards, J. E. Joseph, M. H. Kwack and B. M. P. Nayar that apperared in the Journal of Advanced studies in Topology, Vol. 5 (4), 2014), 8 - 15. B

An adherence dominator on a topological space X is a function π from the collection of filterbases on X to the family of closed subsets of X satisfying A(Ω) ⊆ π(Ω) where A(Ω) is the adherence of Ω. The notations π(Ω) and A(Ω) are used for the values of the functions π and A and π(Ω) =⋂_Ω π F= …

Entropy In Topological Groups, Part 2, Dikran Dikranjan

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

Entropy was introduced first in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, as well as information theory. In the last sixty years entropy made its way also in topology, ergodic theory, as well as other branches of mathematics as algebra, geometry and number theory where dynamical systems appear in one way or another.

Roughly speaking, entropy is a non-negative real number or infinity assigned to a "selfmap" T of a "space" X, where the "space" X can be a topological or uniform space, a measure space, an abstract or topological group (or vector space) or just a set. The "selfmap" T can be, …

On Cardinality Bounds Involving The Weak Lindelöf Degree And H-Closed Spaces, Nathan Carlson, Angelo Bella, Jack Porter

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

1. Bella and Carlson give several classes of spaces X for which |X| ≤ 2^wL(X)χ(X). This includes locally compact spaces and, more recently, extremally disconnected spaces. Three proofs of the former lead to more general results. One such result is that any regular space X with a π-base consisting of elements with compact closure satisfies |X| ≤ 2^wL(X)χ(X). It is also shown that if X is locally compact and power homogeneous that |X| ≤ 2^wL(X)t(X), an extension of De la Vega's Theorem.

2. Porter and Carlson give a new cardinality bound for any Hausdorff …

Frechet Differentiable Norm And Locally Uniformly Rotund Renormings, Gaj R. Damai, Prakash M. Bajracharya

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we study briefly the role played by the locally uniformly rotund (LUR) norm and Frechet differentiability of a norm on the Banach space theory. Our old outstanding open Problem 3.8 mentioned below is the main object of this paper. We study nearly about it and find some additional assumptions on the space attached with this problem to obtain its positive or negative answer. We investigate different results related to these norms and their duals on different settings. In particular, we introduce reflexive spaces, Banach spaces with unconditional basis, weakly locally uniformly rotund (WLUR) norm, Almost locally uniformly …

Asymptotic Behavior Of Waves In A Nonuniform Medium, Nezam Iraniparast, Lan Nguyen, Mikhail Khenner

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

An incoming wave on an infinite string, that has uniform density except for one or two jump discontinuities, splits into transmitted and reflected waves. These waves can explicitly be described in terms of the incoming wave with changes in the amplitude and speed. But when a string or membrane has continuous inhomogeneity in a finite region the waves can only be approximated or described asymptotically. Here, we study the cases of monochromatic waves along a nonuniform density string and plane waves along a membrane with nonuniform density. In both cases the speed of the physical system is assumed to tend …

Thermal Stress Analysis In A Functionally Graded Hollow Elliptic-Cylinder Subjected To Uniform Temperature Distribution, V. R. Manthena, N. K. Lamba, G. D. Kedar

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, an analytical method of a thermoelastic problem for a medium with functionally graded material properties is developed in a theoretical manner for the elliptic-cylindrical coordinate system under the assumption that the material properties except for Poisson’s ratio and density are assumed to vary arbitrarily with the exponential law in the radial direction. An attempt has been made to reconsider the fundamental system of equations for functionally graded solids in a two-dimensional state under thermal and mechanical loads. The general solution of displacement formulation is obtained by the introduction of appropriate transformation and carried out the analysis by …

Inverse Problem For A Parabolic System, Reza Pourgholi, Amin Esfahani, Hassan D. Mazraeh

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper a numerical approach combining the least squares method and a genetic algorithm is proposed for the determination of the source term in an inverse parabolic system (IPS). A numerical experiment confirm the utility of this algorithm as the results are in good agreement with the exact data. Results show that a reasonable estimation can be obtained by the genetic algorithm within a CPU with clock speed 2.7 GHz.

Numerical Simulation Of The Phase Space Of Jupiter-Europa System Including The Effect Of Oblateness, Vinay Kumar, Beena R. Gupta, Rajiv Aggarwal

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

We have numerically investigated the phase space of the Jupiter-Europa system in the framework of a Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem. In our model, Jupiter is taken as oblate primary. We have considered time-frequency analysis (TFA) based on wavelets and the Poincare Surface of Section (PSS) for the characterization of orbits in the Jupiter-Europa model. We have exploited both cases: a system with and without considering the effect of oblateness. Graphs (ridge-plots) explaining the phenomenon of resonance trapping, a difference between chaotic sticky orbit and the non-sticky orbit, and periodic and quasi-periodic orbit are presented. Our results of Poincare surfaces of …

Damping In Microscale Modified Couple Stress Thermoelastic Circular Kirchhoff Plate Resonators, Rajneesh Kumar, Shaloo Devi, Veena Sharma

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The vibrations of circular plate in modified couple stress thermoelastic medium using Kirchhoff- Love plate theory has been presented. The basic equations of motion and heat conduction equation for Lord Shulman (L-S, 1967) theory are written with the help of Kirchhoff-Love plate theory. The thermoelastic damping of micro beam resonators is studied by applying normal mode analysis method. The solutions for the free vibrations of plates under clamped, simply supported and free boundary conditions are obtained. The analytical expressions for thermoelastic damping of vibration and frequency shift are obtained for generalized couple stress thermoelastic and coupled thermoelastic plates. Numerical results …

Generalized Statistical Summability Of Double Sequences And Korovkin Type Approximation Theorem, M. Mursaleen

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we introduce the notion of statistical (λ, μ)-summability and find its relation with (λ, μ)-statistical convergence. We apply this new method to prove a Korovkin type approximation theorem for functions of two variables. Furthermore, we provide an example in support to show that our result is stronger than the previous ones.

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This communication addresses the influence of nonlinear thermal radiation on magneto hydrodynamic Maxwell fluid flow past a linearly stretching surface with heat and mass transfer. The effects of heat generation/absorption and chemical reaction are taken into account. At first, we converted the governing partial differential equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the help of suitable similarity transformations and solved by using Runge-Kutta based shooting technique. Further, the effects of various physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration fields were discussed thoroughly with the help of graphs obtained by using bvp5c MATLAB package. In view of many engineering applications we …

Effect Of Damping And Thermal Gradient On Vibrations Of Orthotropic Rectangular Plate Of Variable Thickness, U. S. Rana, Robin Robin

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this present paper, damped vibrations of an orthotropic rectangular plate resting on elastic foundation with thermal gradient is modeled, considering variable thickness of plate. Following Le`vy approach, the governed equation of motion is solved numerically using quintic spline technique with clamped and simply supported edges. The effect of damping parameter and thermal gradient together with taper constant, density parameter and elastic foundation parameter on the natural frequencies of vibration for the first three modes of vibration are depicted through Tables and Figures, and mode shapes have been computed for fixed value of plate parameter. It has been observed that …
