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.

Braid Group Actions On Rational Maps, Eriko Hironaka, Sarah Koch

Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications

Rational maps are maps from the Riemann sphere to itself that are defined by ratios of polynomials. A special type of rational map is the ones where the forward orbit of the critical points is finite. That is, under iteration, the critical points all eventually cycle in some periodic orbit. In the 1980s Thurston proved the surprising result that (except for a well-understood set of exceptions) when the post-critical set is finite the rational map is determined by the “combinatorics” of how the map behaves on the post-critical set. Recently, there has been interest in the question: what happens if …

Numerical Study Of Soliton Solutions Of Kdv, Boussinesq, And Kaup-Kuperschmidt Equations Based On Jacobi Polynomials, Khadijeh Sadri, Hamideh Ebrahimi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, a numerical method is developed to approximate the soliton solutions of some nonlinear wave equations in terms of the Jacobi polynomials. Wave are very important phenomena in dispersion, dissipation, diffusion, reaction, and convection. Using the wave variable converts these nonlinear equations to the nonlinear ODE equations. Then, the operational Collocation method based on Jacobi polynomials as bases is applied to approximate the solution of ODE equation resulted. In addition, the intervals of the solution will be extended using an rational exponential approximation (REA). The KdV, Boussinesq, and Kaup–Kuperschmidt equations are studied as the test examples. Finally, numerical …

On The Three Dimensional Interaction Between Flexible Fibers And Fluid Flow, Bogdan Nita, Ryan Allaire

Department of Mathematics Facuty Scholarship and Creative Works

In this paper we discuss the deformation of a flexible fiber clamped to a spherical body and immersed in a flow of fluid moving with a speed ranging between 0 and 50 cm/s by means of three dimensional numerical simulation developed in COMSOL . The effects of flow speed and initial configuration angle of the fiber relative to the flow are analyzed. A rigorous analysis of the numerical procedure is performed and our code is benchmarked against well established cases. The flow velocity and pressure are used to compute drag forces upon the fiber. Of particular interest is the behavior …

Sine, Cosine, And Tangent Table: 0 To 360 Degrees, Paul Royster

Department of Mathematics: Class Notes and Learning Materials

In helping with my high school student's math homework, I was astonished to find no trig tables in the 800-page textbook. I was further astonished to find no printable version online that extended beyond 90°.

While most smartphones will tell you the sine of an angle, they will not necessarily tell you the angle for which the sine is x. And since multiple angles may have the same sine (e.g. 59° and 121°), it seems useful to see the numerical progression of the functions in addition to their graphical representation.

Here is a printable sine-cosine-tangent table for all integer angle …

Series Solutions Of Polarized Gowdy Universes, Doniray Brusaferro

Theses and Dissertations

Einstein's field equations are a system of ten partial differential equations. For a special class of spacetimes known as Gowdy spacetimes, the number of equations is reduced due to additional structure of two dimensional isometry groups with mutually orthogonal Killing vectors. In this thesis, we focus on a particular model of Gowdy spacetimes known as the polarized T³ model, and provide an explicit solution to Einstein's equations.

On A Double Integral Involving The I-Function Of Two Variables, Shantha K. Kumari, Vasudevan T. M. Nambisan

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper we establish an interesting double integral involving the I-function of two variables recently introduced in the literature. Since I-function of two variables is a very generalized function of two variables and it includes as special cases many of the known functions appearing in the literature, a number of integrals can be obtained by reducing the I-function of two variables to simpler special functions by suitably specializing the parameters. A few special cases of our result are also discussed.

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

By using the WTC method and symbolic computation, we apply the Painlevé test for a (2+1)-dimensional variable-coefficient Kortweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, and the considered equation is found to possess the Painlevé property without any parametric constraints. The auto-Bǎcklund transformation and several types of exact solutions are obtained by using the Painlevé truncated expansion method. Finally, the Hirota’s bilinear form is presented and multi-soliton solutions are also constructed.

The Generalized Laguerre Matrix Method Or Solving Linear Differential-Difference Equations With Variable Coefficients, Z. K. Bojdi, S. Ahmadi-Asl, A. Aminataei

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, a new and efficient approach based on the generalized Laguerre matrix method for numerical approximation of the linear differential-difference equations (DDEs) with variable coefficients is introduced. Explicit formulae which express the generalized Laguerre expansion coefficients for the moments of the derivatives of any differentiable function in terms of the original expansion coefficients of the function itself are given in the matrix form. In the scheme, by using this approach we reduce solving the linear differential equations to solving a system of linear algebraic equations, thus greatly simplify the problem. In addition, several numerical experiments are given to …

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 …
