Elliptic Curves Of High Rank, Cecylia Bocovich

Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Honors Projects

The study of elliptic curves grows out of the study of elliptic functions which dates back to work done by mathematicians such as Weierstrass, Abel, and Jacobi. Elliptic curves continue to play a prominent role in mathematics today. An elliptic curve E is defined by the equation, y^₂ = x³ + ax + b, where a and b are coefficients that satisfy the property 4a³ + 27b² = 0. The rational solutions of this curve form a group. This group, denoted E(Q), is known as the Mordell-Weil group and was proved by Mordell to be isomorphic …

A Multiplicative "Conic", Tiffany Lundy

Undergraduate Research Conference

Early in their mathematical career, students learn about how ellipses and hyperbolas are formed, their properties, and their applications. In particular, an ellipse is the set of all points in the plane whose combined distance from two fixed locations (foci) is constant. A hyperbola is formed in much the same way, except instead of combining (adding) the distance from the foci, the difference is used. This research begins by examining a new locus of points. The locus of points if formed by taking all points whose distance from two fixed locations when multiplied in constant. The difference discernible types of …

We classify all groups of color preserving automorphisms (isometries) of edge colored complete graphs derived from finite groups.

Cassini Ovals As Elliptic Curves, Nozomi Arakaki

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project is to show that Cassini curves that are not lemniscates, when b does not equal 1, represent elliptic curves. It is also shown that the cross-ratios of these elliptic curves are either real numbers or represented by complex numbers on the unit circle on the conplex plane.

Monomial And Permutation Representation Of Groups, Rebeca Maria Blanquet

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project is to introduce another method of working with groups, that is more efficient when the groups we wish to work with are of a significantly large finite order. When we wish to work with small finite groups, we use permutations and matrices. Although these two methods are the general methods of working with groups, they are not always efficient.

Closure Operations In Commutative Rings, Chloette Joy Samsam

Non-Genera Of Curves With Automorphisms In Characteristic P, Darren B. Glass

Math Faculty Publications

We consider which integers g and r can occur respectively as the genus and p-rank of a curve defined over a field of odd characteristics p which admits an automorphism of degree p.

Natural Product Xn On Matrices, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In this book the authors introduce a new product on matrices called the natural product. ...

Thus by introducing natural product we can find the product of column matrices and product of two rectangular matrices of same order. Further this product is more natural which is just identical with addition replaced by multiplication on these matrices. Another fact about natural product is this enables the product of any two super matrices of same order and with same type of partition. We see on supermatrices products cannot be defined easily which prevents from having any nice algebraic structure on the collection …

Innovative Uses Of Matrices, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy, Indra Venkatbabu

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In this book authors bring out the innovative applications of matrices defined, described and developed by them. Here they do not include the natural product on matrices newly described and defined by them in the book on ‘natural product ×n on matrices’.

This book is organized into seven chapters. The first one is introductory in nature. In the second chapter authors give the unique and new way of analyzing the data which is time dependent. We construct three types of matrices called Average Time Dependent data matrix (ATD matrix), Refined Time Dependent Data matrix (RTD matrix) and Combined Effective Time …

Special Dual Like Numbers And Lattices, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In this book the authors introduce a new type of dual numbers called special dual like numbers. These numbers are constructed using idempotents in the place of nilpotents of order two as new element. That is x = a + bg is a special dual like number where a and b are reals and g is a new element such that g2 =g. The collection of special dual like numbers forms a ring. Further lattices are the rich structures which contributes to special dual like numbers. These special dual like numbers x = a + bg; when a and b …

Non Associative Linear Algebras, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In this book authors for the first time introduce the notion of non associative vector spaces and non associative linear algebras over a field. We construct non associative space using loops and groupoids over fields. In general in all situations, which we come across to find solutions may not be associative; in such cases we can without any difficulty adopt these non associative vector spaces/linear algebras. Thus this research is a significant one.

This book has six chapters. First chapter is introductory in nature. The new concept of non associative semilinear algebras is introduced in chapter two. This structure is …

Dual Numbers, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Dual numbers was first introduced by W.K. Clifford in 1873. This nice concept has lots of applications; to screw systems, modeling plane joint, iterative methods for displacement analysis of spatial mechanisms, inertial force analysis of spatial mechanisms etc. In this book the authors study dual numbers in a special way. The main aim of this book is to find rich sources of new elements g such that g2 = 0. The main sources of such new elements are from Zn, n a composite number. We give algebraic structures on them. This book is organized into six chapters. The final chapter …

Neutrosophic Super Matrices And Quasi Super Matrices, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In this book authors study neutrosophic super matrices. The concept of neutrosophy or indeterminacy happens to be one the powerful tools used in applications like FCMs and NCMs where the expert seeks for a neutral solution. Thus this concept has lots of applications in fuzzy neutrosophic models like NRE, NAM etc. These concepts will also find applications in image processing where the expert seeks for a neutral solution. Here we introduce neutrosophic super matrices and show that the sum or product of two neutrosophic matrices is not in general a neutrosophic super matrix. Another interesting feature of this book is …

Exploring The Extension Of Natural Operations On Intervals, Matrices And Complex Numbers, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

This book extends the natural operations defined on intervals, finite complex numbers and matrices. The intervals [a, b] are such that a ≤ b. But the natural class of intervals [a, b] introduced by the authors are such that a ≥ b or a need not be comparable with b. This way of defining natural class of intervals enables the authors to extend all the natural operations defined on reals to these natural class of intervals without any difficulty. Thus with these natural class of intervals working with interval matrices like stiffness matrices finding eigenvalues takes the same time as …

Centric Cardinal Sine Function, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

According to any standard dictionary, the word "cardinal" is synonymous with "principal", "essential", "fundamental". In centric mathematics (CM), or ordinary mathematics, cardinal is, on the one hand, a number equal to a number of finite aggregate, called the power of the aggregate, and on the other hand, known as the sine cardinal sinc(x) or cosine cardinal cosc(x), is a special function defined by the centric circular function (CCF). sin(x) and cos(x) are commonly used in undulatory physics (see Figure 1) and whose graph, the graph of cardinal sine, which is called as "Mexican hat" (sombrero) because of its shape.

Supermodular Lattices, Florentin Smarandache, Iqbal Unnisa, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In lattice theory the two well known equational class of lattices are the distributive lattices and the modular lattices. All distributive lattices are modular however a modular lattice in general is not distributive.

In this book, new classes of lattices called supermodular lattices and semi-supermodular lattices are introduced and characterized as follows: A subdirectly irreducible supermodular lattice is isomorphic to the two element chain lattice C2 or the five element modular lattice M3. A lattice L is supermodular if and only if L is a subdirect union of a two element chain C2 and the five element modular lattice M3.

Non Associative Algebraic Structures Using Finite Complex Numbers, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Authors in this book for the first time have constructed nonassociative structures like groupoids, quasi loops, non associative semirings and rings using finite complex modulo integers. The Smarandache analogue is also carried out. We see the nonassociative complex modulo integers groupoids satisfy several special identities like Moufang identity, Bol identity, right alternative and left alternative identities. P-complex modulo integer groupoids and idempotent complex modulo integer groupoids are introduced and characterized. This book has six chapters. The first one is introductory in nature. Second chapter introduces complex modulo integer groupoids and complex modulo integer loops.

The Geometry Of Homological Triangles, Florentin Smarandache, Ion Patrascu

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

This book is addressed to students, professors and researchers of geometry, who will find herein many interesting and original results. The originality of the book The Geometry of Homological Triangles consists in using the homology of triangles as a “filter” through which remarkable notions and theorems from the geometry of the triangle are unitarily passed. Our research is structured in seven chapters, the first four are dedicated to the homology of the triangles while the last ones to their applications. In the first chapter one proves the theorem of homological triangles (Desargues, 1636), one survey the remarkable pairs of homological …

Road Trips In Geodesic Metric Spaces And Groups With Quadratic Isoperimetric Inequalities, Rachel Bishop-Ross, Jon Corson

Rachel E. Bishop-Ross

We introduce a property of geodesic metric spaces, called the road trip property, that generalizes hyperbolic and convex metric spaces. This property is shown to be invariant under quasi-isometry. Thus, it leads to a geometric property of finitely generated groups, also called the road trip property. The main result is that groups with the road trip property are finitely presented and satisfy a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. Examples of groups with the road trip property include hyperbolic, semihyperbolic, automatic and CAT(0) groups. DOI: 10.1142/S0218196712500506
