Dynamics Of Phytoplankton, Zooplankton And Fishery Resource Model, B. Dubey, Atasi Patra, R. K. Upadhyay
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper, a new mathematical model has been proposed and analyzed to study the interaction of phytoplankton- zooplankton-fish population in an aquatic environment with Holloing’s types II, III and IV functional responses. It is assumed that the growth rate of phytoplankton depends upon the constant level of nutrient and the fish population is harvested according to CPUE (catch per unit effort) hypothesis. Biological and bionomical equilibrium of the system has been investigated. Using Pontryagin’s Maximum Principal, the optimal harvesting policy is discussed. Chaotic nature and bifurcation analysis of the model system for a control parameter have been observed through …

Reliable Study Of Nonhomogeneous Bbm Equation With Time-Dependent Coefficients By The Modified Sine-Cosine Method, Aminah Qawasmeh, Marwan Alquran
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
The modified sine-cosine method is an efficient and powerful mathematical tool in finding exact traveling wave solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) with time-dependent coefficients. In this paper, the proposed approach is applied to study a nonhomogeneous generalized form of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation with time-dependent coefficients. Explicit traveling wave solutions of the equation are obtained under certain constraints on the coefficient functions.

Numerical Solution For The Systems Of Variable-Coefficient Coupled Burgers’ Equation By Two-Dimensional Legendre Wavelets Method, Hossein Aminikhah, Sakineh Moradian
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper, a numerical method for solving the systems of variable-coefficient coupled Burgers’ equation is proposed. The method is based on two-dimensional Legendre wavelets. Two-dimensional operational matrices of integration are introduced and then employed to find a solution to the systems of variable-coefficient coupled Burgers’ equation. Two examples are presented to illustrate the capability of the method. It is shown that the numerical results are in good agreement with the exact solutions for each problem.

On Some Summation Formulae For The I-Function Of Two Variables, Shantha K. Kumari, Vasudevan T. M. Nambisan
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this research paper, we aim to establish three interesting summation formulae for the I-function of two variables recently introduced in the literature. The results are derived with the help of classical summation theorems due to Watson, Dixon and Whipple. A few known results are also obtained as special cases of our main findings. Since the I-function of two variables is the most generalized function of two variables and it includes as special cases many of the known functions appearing in the literature, the results derived in this paper will therefore serve as the key formulas from which a large …

A Ranking Method Based On Common Weights And Benchmark Point, Ali Payan, Abbas A. Noora, Farhad H. Lotfi
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
The highest efficiency score 1 (100% efficiency) is regarded as a common benchmark for Decision Making Units (DMUs). This brings about the existence of more than one DMU with the highest score. Such a case normally occurs in all Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models and also in all the Common Set of Weights (CSWs) methods and it may lead to the lack of thorough ranking of DMUs. And ideal DMU based on its specific structure is a unit that no unit would do better than. Therefore, it can be utilized as a benchmark for other units. We are going to …

On The Evolution Of Virulence, Thi Nguyen
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
The goal of this thesis is to study the dynamics behind the evolution of virulence. We examine first the underlying mechanics of linear systems of ordinary differential equations by investigating the classification of fixed points in these systems, then applying these techniques to nonlinear systems. We then seek to establish the validity of a system that models the population dynamics of uninfected and infected hosts---first with one parasite strain, then n strains. We define the basic reproductive ratio of a parasite, and study its relationship to the evolution of virulence. Lastly, we investigate the mathematics behind superinfection.

Investr: An R Package For Inverse Estimation, Brandon M. Greenwell, Christine M. Schubert Kabban
Faculty Publications
Inverse estimation is a classical and well-known problem in regression. In simple terms, it involves the use of an observed value of the response to make inference on the corresponding unknown value of the explanatory variable. To our knowledge, however, statistical software is somewhat lacking the capabilities for analyzing these types of problems. In this paper, we introduce investr (which stands for inverse estimation in R), a package for solving inverse estimation problems in both linear and nonlinear regression models.

Smarticles: A Method For Identifying And Correcting Instability And Error Caused By Explicit Integration Techniques In Physically Based Simulations, Susan Aileen Marano
Master's Theses
Using an explicit integration method in physically based animations has many advantages including conceptual and computational simplicity, however, it re- quires small time steps to ensure low numerical instability. Simulations with large numbers of individually interacting components such as cloth, hair, and fluid models, are limited by the sections of particles most susceptible to error. This results in the need for smaller time steps than required for the majority of the system. These sections can be diverse and dynamic, quickly changing in size and location based on forces in the system. Identifying and handling these trou- blesome sections could allow …

High-Order Short-Time Expansions For Atm Option Prices Of Exponential Lévy Models, José E. Figueroa-López, Ruoting Gong, Christian Houdré
Mathematics Faculty Research
The short-time asymptotic behavior of option prices for a variety of models with jumps has received much attention in recent years. In this work, a novel second-order approximation for at-the-money (ATM) option prices is derived for a large class of exponential Lévy models with or without Brownian component. The results hereafter shed new light on the connection between both the volatility of the continuous component and the jump parameters and the behavior of ATM option prices near expiration. In the presence of a Brownian component, the second-order term, in time-t, is of the form , with d 2 only depending …
Applying The Poincaré Recurrence Theorem To Billiards,

Applying The Poincaré Recurrence Theorem To Billiards, Aaron Smith
Honors Theses
The Poincaré recurrence theorem is one of the first and most fundamental theorems of ergodic theory. When applied to a dynamical system satisfying the theorem's hypothesis, it roughly states that the system will, within a finite amount of time, return to a state arbitrarily close to its initial state. This result is intriguing and controversial, providing a contradiction with the Second Law of Thermodynamics known as the recurrence paradox. Here, we treat a set of pool balls on a billiard table as a dynamical system that satisfies the hypotheses of the Poincaré recurrence theorem. We prove that time is a …

Green's Functions Of Discrete Fractional Calculus Boundary Value Problems And An Application Of Discrete Fractional Calculus To A Pharmacokinetic Model, Sutthirut Charoenphon
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Fractional calculus has been used as a research tool in the fields of pharmacology, biology, chemistry, and other areas [3]. The main purpose of this thesis is to calculate Green's functions of fractional difference equations, and to model problems in pharmacokinetics. We claim that the discrete fractional calculus yields the best prediction performance compared to the continuous fractional calculus in the application of a one-compartmental model of drug concentration. In Chapter 1, the Gamma function and its properties are discussed to establish a theoretical basis. Additionally, the basics of discrete fractional calculus are discussed using particular examples for further calculations. …

Analysis Of A Partial Differential Equation Model Of Surface Electromigration, Selahittin Cinar
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
A Partial Differential Equation (PDE) based model combining surface electromigration and wetting is developed for the analysis of the morphological instability of mono-crystalline metal films in a high temperature environment typical to operational conditions of microelectronic interconnects. The atomic mobility and surface energy of such films are anisotropic, and the model accounts for these material properties. The goal of modeling is to describe and understand the time-evolution of the shape of film surface. I will present the formulation of a nonlinear parabolic PDE problem for the height function h(x,t) of the film in the horizontal …

A Numerical Model For Nonadiabatic Transitions In Molecules, Devanshu Agrawal
Undergraduate Honors Theses
In molecules, electronic state transitions can occur via quantum coupling of the states. If the coupling is due to the kinetic energy of the molecular nuclei, then electronic transitions are best represented in the adiabatic frame. If the coupling is instead facilitated through the potential energy of the nuclei, then electronic transitions are better represented in the diabatic frame. In our study, we modeled these latter transitions, called ``nonadiabatic transitions.'' For one nuclear degree of freedom, we modeled the de-excitation of a diatomic molecule. For two nuclear degrees of freedom, we modeled the de-excitation of an ethane-like molecule undergoing cis-trans …

Analysis Of The Suitability Of The Trauma Center Location Configuration In The State Of Arkansas, Katy Accurso
Industrial Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
With the Arkansas trauma system framework having been so recently enacted, analysis of the suitability of the trauma center location configuration has yet to be explored. A variety of optimization models were created that placed an emphasis on different objectives. These results were then used to evaluate the effectiveness of Arkansas current system in relation to the optimal system generated by the mathematical models. Initial results indicated the areas that are not covered by the current trauma system. In addition, further research revealed the optimal number of trauma centers that could service the same population currently being served. Assessing the …

Improved Mixed-Integer Models Of A Two-Dimensional Cutting Stock Problem, William Lassiter
All Theses
This paper is concerned with a family of two-dimensional cutting stock problems that seeks to cut rectangular regions from a finite collection of sheets in such a manner that the minimum number of sheets is used. A fixed number of rectangles are to be cut, with each rectangle having a known length and width. All sheets are rectangular, and have the same dimension. We review two known mixed-integer mathematical formulations, and then provide new representations that both economize on the number of discrete variables and tighten the continuous relaxations. A key consideration that arises repeatedly in all models is the …

Spectrum Of The Kerzman-Stein Operator For A Family Of Smooth Regions In The Plane, Michael Bolt
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
The Kerzman-Stein operator is the skew-hermitian part of the Cauchy operator defined with respect to an unweighted hermitian inner product on the boundary. For bounded regions with smooth boundary, the Kerzman-Stein operator is compact on the Hilbert space of square integrable functions. Here we give an explicit computation of its Hilbert-Schmidt norm for a family of simply connected regions. We also give an explicit computation of the Cauchy operator acting on an orthonormal basis, and we give estimates for the norms of the Kerzman-Stein and Cauchy operators on these regions. The regions are the first regions that display no apparent …

The Szego Kernel Of Certain Polynomial Models, And Heat Kernel Estimates For Schrodinger Operators With Reverse Holder Potentials, Michael Tinker
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
We present two different results on operator kernels, each in the context of its relationship to a class of CR manifolds M={z,w1,...wn) element of Cn⁺¹ : Im wifi(Re z)} where n d 2 and (phi)i( x) is subharmonic for i = 1,...,n. Such models have proven useful for studying canonical operators such as the Szegö projection on weakly pseudoconvex domains of finite type in C², and may play a similar role in work on higher codimension CR manifolds in C³. Our study in Part II concerns the Szegö kernel on M for which the (empty set)i are subharmonic nonharmonic polynomials. …
