Kummer's conjecture predicts the rate of growth of the relative class numbers of cyclotomic fields of prime conductor. We extend Kummer's conjecture to cyclotomic fields of conductor n, where n is any natural number. We show that the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture implies that this generalised Kummer's conjecture is true for almost all n but is false for infinitely many n.

We solve the linear Ginzburg–Landau GL equation in the presence of a uniform magnetic field with cylindrical symmetry and we find analytic expressions for the eigenfunctions in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions. The discrete spectrum results from an implicit equation associated to the boundary conditions and it is resolved in analytic form using the continued fractions formalism. We study the dependence of the spectrum and the eigenfunctions on the sample size and the surface conditions for solid and hollow cylindrical superconductors. Finally, the solutions of the nonlinear GL formalism are constructed as expansions in the linear GL eigenfunction basis …

Non-Classical Symmetry Solutions To The Fitzhugh Nagumo Equation., Arash Mehraban
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In Reaction-Diffusion systems, some parameters can influence the behavior of other parameters in that system. Thus reaction diffusion equations are often used to model the behavior of biological phenomena. The Fitzhugh Nagumo partial differential equation is a reaction diffusion equation that arises both in population genetics and in modeling the transmission of action potentials in the nervous system. In this paper we are interested in finding solutions to this equation. Using Lie groups in particular, we would like to find symmetries of the Fitzhugh Nagumo equation that reduce this non-linear PDE to an Ordinary Differential Equation. In order to accomplish …

G-Lattices For An Unrooted Perfect Phylogeny, Monica Grigg
Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)
We look at the Pure Parsimony problem and the Perfect Phylogeny Haplotyping problem. From the Pure Parsimony problem we consider structures of genotypes called g-lattices. These structures either provide solutions or give bounds to the pure parsimony problem. In particular, we investigate which of these structures supports an unrooted perfect phylogeny, a condition that adds biological interpretation. By understanding which g-lattices support an unrooted perfect phylogeny, we connect two of the standard biological inference rules used to recreate how genetic diversity propagates across generations.

We present two algorithms that use spectral methods to align protein folds. One of the algorithms is suitable for database searches, the other for difficult alignments. We present computational results for 780 pairwise alignments used to classify 40 proteins as well as results for a separate set of 36 protein alignments used for comparison to four other alignment algorithms. We also provide a mathematically rigorous development of the intrinsic geometry underlying our spectral approach.

Mutation Size Optimizes Speciation In An Evolutionary Model, Nathan Dees, Sonya Bahar
Physics Faculty Works
The role of mutation rate in optimizing key features of evolutionary dynamics has recently been investigated in various computational models. Here, we address the related question of how maximum mutation size affects the formation of species in a simple computational evolutionary model. We find that the number of species is maximized for intermediate values of a mutation size parameter μ; the result is observed for evolving organisms on a randomly changing landscape as well as in a version of the model where negative feedback exists between the local population size and the fitness provided by the landscape. The same result …

Bilinear Programming And Protein Structure Alignment, J. Cain, D. Kamenetsky, N. Lavine

Proteins are a primary functional component of organic life, and understanding their function is integral to many areas of research in biochemistry. The three-dimensional structure of a protein largely determines this function. Protein structure alignment compares the structure of a protein with known function to that of a protein with unknown function. A protein’s three-dimensional structure can be transformed through a smooth piecewise-linear sigmoid function to a real symmetric contact matrix that represents the functional significance of certain parts of the protein. We address the protein alignment problem as a minimization of the 2-norm difference of two proteins’ contact matrices. …

Multistage Homotopy Analysis Method For Solving Nonlinear Integral Equations, H. Jafari, M. A. Firoozjaee
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper, we present an efficient modification of the homotopy analysis method (HAM) that will facilitate the calculations. We then conduct a comparative study between the new modification and the homotopy analysis method. This modification of the homotopy analysis method is applied to nonlinear integral equations and mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations, which yields a series solution with accelerated convergence. Numerical illustrations are investigated to show the features of the technique. The modified method accelerates the rapid convergence of the series solution and reduces the size of work.

A Global Characterization Of Tubed Surfaces In ℂ2, Michael Bolt
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
Let M3 S C2 be a three times differentiable real hypersurface. The Levi form of M transforms under biholomorphism, and when restricted to the complex tangent space, the skew-Hermitian part of the second fundamental form transforms under Möbius transformations. The surfaces for which these forms are constant multiples of each other were identified in previous work, provided the constant is not unimodular. Here it is proved that if the surface is assumed to be complete and if the constant is unimodular, then the surface is tubed over a strongly convex curve. The converse statement is true, too, and is easily …

In this paper, we present a reliable algorithm, the homotopy perturbation method, to solve the well-known vibration equation for very large membrane which is given initial conditions. By using initial value, the explicit solutions of the equation for different cases have been derived, which accelerate the rapid convergence of the series solution. Numerical results show that the homotopy perturbation method is easy to implement and accurate when applied to differential equations. Numerical results for different particular cases of the problem are presented graphically.

This paper outlines a detailed study of some latest trends and developments in nonlinear sciences. The major focus of our study will be variational iteration (VIM) and its modifications, homotopy perturbation (HPM), parameter expansion and exp-function methods. The above mentioned schemes are highly accurate, extraordinary efficient, capable to cope with the versatility of the physical problems and are being used to solve a wide class of nonlinear problems. Several examples are given which reveal the justification of our claim.

In this paper, we study the nonlinear dispersive K(m,n) equations which exhibit solutions with solitary patterns. New exact solitary solutions are found. The two special cases, K(2, 2) and K(3, 3), are chosen to illustrate the concrete features of the homotopy analysis method in K(m,n) equations. The nonlinear equations K(m,n) are studied for two different cases, namely when m = n being odd and even integers. General formulas for the solutions of K(m,n) equations are established.

This paper presents the analytical and approximate solutions of the coupled chaotic Van der Pol-Duffing systems, by using the He's parameter-expansion method (PEM). One iteration is sufficient to obtain a highly accurate solution, which is valid for the whole solution domain. From the obtained results, we can conclude that the suggest method, is of utter simplicity, and can be easily extended to all kinds of non-linear equations.

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper, we introduce a modified variational iteration method for second order initial value problems by transforming the integral of iteration process. The main advantages of this modification are that it can overcome the restriction of the form of nonlinearity term in differential equations and improve the iterative speed of conventional variational iteration method. The method is applied to some nonlinear second order initial value problems and the numerical results reveal that the modified method is accurate and efficient for second order initial value problems.

Homotopy Perturbation Method And The Stagnation Point Flow, P. Donald Ariel
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
The laminar steady flow of an incompressible, viscous fluid near a stagnation point has been computed using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). Both the cases, (i) two-dimensional flow and (ii) axisymmetric flow, have been considered. A sequence of successive approximations has been obtained in the solution, and the convergence of the sequence is achieved by using the Padé approximants. It is found that there is a complete agreement between the results obtained by the HPM and the exact numerical solution.
