On The Second Case Of Fermat's Last Theorem Over Cyclotomic Fields, Owen Sweeney 2023 The Graduate Center, City University of New York

On The Second Case Of Fermat's Last Theorem Over Cyclotomic Fields, Owen Sweeney

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

We obtain a new simpler sufficient condition for Kolyvagin's criteria, regarding the second case of Fermat's last theorem with prime exponent p over the p-th cyclotomic field, to hold. It covers cases when the existing simpler sufficient conditions do not hold and is important for the theoretical study of the criteria.


Stressor: An R Package For Benchmarking Machine Learning Models, Samuel A. Haycock 2023 Utah State University

Stressor: An R Package For Benchmarking Machine Learning Models, Samuel A. Haycock

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Many discipline specific researchers need a way to quickly compare the accuracy of their predictive models to other alternatives. However, many of these researchers are not experienced with multiple programming languages. Python has recently been the leader in machine learning functionality, which includes the PyCaret library that allows users to develop high-performing machine learning models with only a few lines of code. The goal of the stressor package is to help users of the R programming language access the advantages of PyCaret without having to learn Python. This allows the user to leverage R’s powerful data analysis workflows, while simultaneously …


The Existence Of Solutions To A System Of Nonhomogeneous Difference Equations, Stephanie Walker 2023 University of Central Oklahoma

The Existence Of Solutions To A System Of Nonhomogeneous Difference Equations, Stephanie Walker

Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal

This article will demonstrate a process using Fixed Point Theory to determine the existence of multiple positive solutions for a type of system of nonhomogeneous even ordered boundary value problems on a discrete domain. We first reconstruct the problem by transforming the system so that it satisfies homogeneous boundary conditions. We then create a cone and an operator sufficient to apply the Guo-KrasnoselâA˘Zskii Fixed Point Theorem. The majority of the work involves developing the constraints ´ needed to utilized this fixed point theorem. The theorem is then applied three times, guaranteeing the existence of at least three distinct solutions. Thus, …


Interpolation Problems And The Characterization Of The Hilbert Function, Bryant Xie 2023 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville

Interpolation Problems And The Characterization Of The Hilbert Function, Bryant Xie

Mathematical Sciences Undergraduate Honors Theses

In mathematics, it is often useful to approximate the values of functions that are either too awkward and difficult to evaluate or not readily differentiable or integrable. To approximate its values, we attempt to replace such functions with more well-behaving examples such as polynomials or trigonometric functions. Over the algebraically closed field C, a polynomial passing through r distinct points with multiplicities m1, ..., mr on the affine complex line in one variable is determined by its zeros and the vanishing conditions up to its mi − 1 derivative for each point. A natural question would then be to consider …

Applications Of Financial Mathematics: An Analysis Of Consumer Financial Decision Making, Alyssa Betterton 2023 University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Applications Of Financial Mathematics: An Analysis Of Consumer Financial Decision Making, Alyssa Betterton

Honors Theses, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Students always ask, “How can this be applied to the real world?” Mortgages, car loans, and credit card bills are things that almost everyone will have to make decisions about at some point in their lives. This research discusses the many different financial choices that consumers have to make. Consumers can use this information to understand how interest rates, the length of the loan, and the initial amount being borrowed affects the amount that is paid back to the companies. The intent of this thesis is to present the mathematical theory of interest. A web-based application has been built based …


Internal Yoneda Ext Groups, Central H-Spaces, And Banded Types, Jarl Gunnar Taxerås Flaten 2023 Western University

Internal Yoneda Ext Groups, Central H-Spaces, And Banded Types, Jarl Gunnar Taxerås Flaten

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

We develop topics in synthetic homotopy theory using the language of homotopy type theory, and study their semantic counterparts in an ∞-topos. Specifically, we study Grothendieck categories and Yoneda Ext groups in this setting, as well as a novel class of central H-spaces along with their associated bands. The former are fundamental notions from homological algebra that support important computations in traditional homotopy theory. We develop these tools with the goal of supporting similar computations in our setting. In contrast, our results about central H-spaces and bands are new, even when interpreted into the ∞-topos of spaces.

Waste Treatment Facility Location For Hotel Chains, Dolores R. Santos-Peñate, Rafael R. Suárez-Vega, Carmen Florido de la Nuez 2023 Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Waste Treatment Facility Location For Hotel Chains, Dolores R. Santos-Peñate, Rafael R. Suárez-Vega, Carmen Florido De La Nuez

ITSA 2022 Gran Canaria - 9th Biennial Conference: Corporate Entrepreneurship and Global Tourism Strategies After Covid 19

Tourism generates huge amounts of waste. About half of the waste generated by hotels is food and garden bio-waste. This bio-waste can be used to make compost and pellets. In turn, pellets can be used as an absorbent material in composters and as an energy source. We consider the problem of locating composting and pellet-making facilities so that the bio-waste generated by a chain of hotels can be managed at or close to the generation points. An optimization model is applied to locate the facilities and allocate the waste and products, and several scenarios are analysed. The study shows that, …

On Maximum Likelihood Estimators For A Jump-Type Affine Diffusion Two-Factor Model, Jiaming Yin Mr. 2023 University of Windsor

On Maximum Likelihood Estimators For A Jump-Type Affine Diffusion Two-Factor Model, Jiaming Yin Mr.

Major Papers

We consider a jump-type two-factor affine diffusion model driven by a subordinator in the context of continuous time observations. We study the asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for the drift parameters. In particular, we prove the strong consistency and the asymptotic normality of MLE in the subcritical case. We also present some numerical illustrations to confirm the theoretical results. The main difficulty of this major paper consists in proving the ergodicity of the model in the subcritical case and deriving the limiting behavior of the process.


Some Thoughts On The 3 × 3 Magic Square Of Squares Problem, Desmond Weisenberg 2023 Case Western Reserve University

Some Thoughts On The 3 × 3 Magic Square Of Squares Problem, Desmond Weisenberg

Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal

A magic square is a square grid of numbers where each row, column, and long diagonal has the same sum (called the magic sum). An open problem popularized by Martin Gardner asks whether there exists a 3×3 magic square of distinct positive square numbers. In this paper, we expand on existing results about the prime factors of elements of such a square, and then provide a full list of the ways a prime factor could appear in one. We also suggest a separate possible computational approach based on the prime signature of the center entry of the square.


Computation Offloading Design For Deep Neural Network Inference On Iot Devices, Asmika Boosarapu 2023 Rowan University

Computation Offloading Design For Deep Neural Network Inference On Iot Devices, Asmika Boosarapu

Theses and Dissertations

In recent times, advances in the technologies of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have significantly increased the accuracy and speed of a variety of smart applications. However, one of the barriers to deploying DNN to IoT is the computational limitations of IoT devices as compared with the computationally expensive task of DNN inference. Computation offloading is an approach that addresses this problem by offloading DNN computation tasks to cloud servers. In this thesis we propose a collaborative computation offloading solution, in which some of the work is done on the IoT device, and the remainder of the work …


Understanding The Beauty Of Mathematics By Composing Claude Debussy's Syrinx Into Mathematical Equations, Mackenzi Mehlberg 2023 Seattle Pacific University

Understanding The Beauty Of Mathematics By Composing Claude Debussy's Syrinx Into Mathematical Equations, Mackenzi Mehlberg

Honors Projects

Mesmerizing melodies and narrative storytelling are exemplified in Claude Debussy's Syrinx. As a well-known piece of solo flute literature, it is considered beautiful. Conversely, mathematics is seen as logical, and by implication not beautiful. Using Fourier Analysis, Syrinx can be represented in a different context: a series of mathematical equations. These mathematical equations can then be played as a different interpretation of Syrinx. With this interpretation, we see that mathematics is beautiful.


A Pebbling Game On Powers Of Paths, Garth Isaak, Matthew Prudente, Joseph M. Marcinik III 2023 Lehigh University

A Pebbling Game On Powers Of Paths, Garth Isaak, Matthew Prudente, Joseph M. Marcinik Iii

Communications on Number Theory and Combinatorial Theory

Two Player Graph Pebbling is an extension of graph pebbling. Players Mover and Defender use pebbling moves, the act of removing two pebbles from one vertex and placing one pebble on an adjacent vertex, to win. If a specified vertex has a pebble on it, then Mover wins. If a specified vertex is pebble-free and there are no more valid pebbling moves, then Defender wins. The Two-Player Pebbling Number of a graph G, η(G), is the minimum m such that for every arrangement of m pebbles and for any specified vertex, Mover can win. We specify the …
