Fractional Difference Operators And Related Boundary Value Problems, Scott C. Gensler

Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

In this dissertation we develop a fractional difference calculus for functions on a discrete domain. We start by showing that the Taylor monomials, which play a role analagous to that of the power functions in ordinary differential calculus, can be expressed in terms of a family of polynomials which I will refer to as the Pochhammer polynomials. These important functions, the Taylor monomials, were previously described by other scholars primarily in terms of the gamma function. With only this description it is challenging to understand their properties. Describing the Taylor monomials in terms of the Pochhammer polynomials has made it …

R Program For Estimation Of Group Efficiency And Finding Its Gradient. Stochastic Data Envelopment Analysis With A Perfect Object Approach, Alexander Vaninsky

Publications and Research

The data presented here are related to the research article “Energy-environmental efficiency and optimal restructuring of the global economy” (Vaninsky, 2018) [1]. This article describes how the world economy can be restructured to become more energy-environmental efficient, while still increasing its growth potential. It demonstrates how available energy-environmental and economic information may support policy-making decisions on the atmosphere preservation and climate change prevention. This Data article presents a computer program in R language together with examples of input and output files that serve as a means of implementation of the novel approach suggested in publication[1]. The computer program utilizes stochastic …

Applying P-Balanced Energy Technique To Solve Liouville-Type Problems In Calculus, Lina Wu

Publications and Research

We are interested in solving Liouville-type problems to explore constancy properties for maps or differential forms on Riemannian manifolds. Geometric structures on manifolds, the existence of constancy properties for maps or differential forms, and energy growth for maps or differential forms are intertwined. In this article, we concentrate on discovery of solutions to Liouville-type problems where manifolds are Euclidean spaces (i.e. flat Riemannian manifolds) and maps become real-valued functions. Liouville-type results of vanishing properties for functions are obtained. The original work in our research findings is to extend the  q-energy for a function from finite in L^q space to infinite …

Masked Instability: Within-Sector Financial Risk In The Presence Of Wealth Inequality, Youngna Choi

Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

We investigate masked financial instability caused by wealth inequality. When an economic sector is decomposed into two subsectors that possess a severe wealth inequality, the sector in entirety can look financially stable while the two subsectors possess extreme financially instabilities of opposite nature, one from excessive equity, the other from lack thereof. The unstable subsector can result in further financial distress and even trigger a financial crisis. The market instability indicator, an early warning system derived from dynamical systems applied to agent-based models, is used to analyze the subsectoral financial instabilities. Detailed mathematical analysis is provided to explain what financial …

An Accelerate Process For The Successive Approximations Method In The Case Of Monotonous Convergence, A. Laouar, I. Mous

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

We study an iterative process to accelerate the successive approximations method in a monotonous convergence framework. It consists in interrupting the sequence of the successive approximations method produced at the kth iteration and substituting it by a combination of the element of the sequence produced at the iterate k + 1 and an extrapolation vector. The latter uses a parameter which can be calculated mathematically. We illustrate numerically this process by studying a freeboundary problems class.

An Ishikawa-Type Iterative Algorithm For Solving A Generalized Variational Inclusion Problem Involving Difference Of Monotone Operators, Mohd Ishtyak, Rais Ahmad

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we study a generalized variational inclusion problem involving difference of monotone operators in Hilbert spaces. We established equivalence between the generalized variational inclusion problem and a fixed point problem. We establish an Ishikawa type iterative algorithm for solving a generalized variational inclusion problem involving difference of monotone operators, which is more general than Mann-type iterative algorithm. An existence result as well as a convergence result are proved separately. The problem of this paper is more general than many existing problems in the literature. Several special cases of generalized variational inclusion problem involving difference of monotone operators are …

Hypergeometric Inequalities For Certain Unified Classes Of Multivalent Harmonic Functions, Vimlesh K. Gupta, Poonam Sharma

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we consider unified classes PH (m, A,B) H and Q_H (m, A,B) H of multivalent harmonic functions F = H +G∈H(m) . Some hypergeometric inequalities for the functions of the class H(m) defined by generalized hypergeometric functions to be in these unified classes and its sub classes TP_H (m, A,B) H and TQ_H (m, A,B) H , respectively, are obtained. Results, involving some integral operators are also given. Further, some special cases of the results are mentioned.

On Refinements Of Hermite-Hadamard-Fejér Type Inequalities For Fractional Integral Operators, Fatma Ertuğral, Mehmet Z. Sarikaya, Hüseyin Budak

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, utilizing convex functions, we first establish new refinements of Hermite- Hadamard-Fejer type inequalities via Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operators. A generalized refinements of Hermite-Hadamard-Fejer type inequalities for fractional integral operators with exponential kernel is also obtained. The results given in this paper would provide extensions of those presented in earlier studies.

United States Population Future Estimates And Long-Term Distribution, Sean P. Brogan

DePaul Discoveries

The population of the United States has always increased year over year. Even now with decreasing birth rates, the overall population continues to grow when looking at conventional models. The present study specifically examines what would happen to the U.S. population if we were to maintain the current birth and survival rates into the future. By 2050, our research shows that the U.S. population will become much older and cease to grow at all.

Properties And Convergence Of State-Based Laplacians, Kelsey Wells

Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The classical Laplace operator is a vital tool in modeling many physical behaviors, such as elasticity, diffusion and fluid flow. Incorporated in the Laplace operator is the requirement of twice differentiability, which implies continuity that many physical processes lack. In this thesis we introduce a new nonlocal Laplace-type operator, that is capable of dealing with strong discontinuities. Motivated by the state-based peridynamic framework, this new nonlocal Laplacian exhibits double nonlocality through the use of iterated integral operators. The operator introduces additional degrees of flexibility that can allow better representation of physical phenomena at different scales and in materials with different …

A Logistic Regression Analysis Of First-Time College Students’ Completion Rates At The University Of Southern Mississippi, Jesse Homer Robinson

Honors Theses

The demand for employees with a college degree is steadily on the rise in a plethora of competitive job markets throughout the United States. This increase in demand has aided in the increasing college enrollment rates throughout the country. However, unlike enrollment trends, the rate of college completion has not had the same fortunate rise.

The goal of this study is to research and compare differences among those first-time college students who completed college within four years, six years, or did not complete. The primary source for data in this study was the Office of Institutional Research at USM. Both …

Analysis Of 2016-17 Major League Soccer Season Data Using Poisson Regression With R, Ian D. Campbell

Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects

To the outside observer, soccer is chaotic with no given pattern or scheme to follow, a random conglomeration of passes and shots that go on for 90 minutes. Yet, what if there was a pattern to the chaos, or a way to describe the events that occur in the game quantifiably. Sports statistics is a critical part of baseball and a variety of other of today’s sports, but we see very little statistics and data analysis done on soccer. Of this research, there has been looks into the effect of possession time on the outcome of a game, the difference …

On Some Geometry Of Graphs, Zachary S. Mcguirk

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

In this thesis we study the intrinsic geometry of graphs via the constants that appear in discretized partial differential equations associated to those graphs. By studying the behavior of a discretized version of Bochner's inequality for smooth manifolds at the cone point for a cone over the set of vertices of a graph, a lower bound for the internal energy of the underlying graph is obtained. This gives a new lower bound for the size of the first non-trivial eigenvalue of the graph Laplacian in terms of the curvature constant that appears at the cone point and the size of …

Geometry And Analysis Of Some Euler-Arnold Equations, Jae Min Lee

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

In 1966, Arnold showed that the Euler equation for an ideal fluid can arise as the geodesic flow on the group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms with respect to the right invariant kinetic energy metric. This geometric interpretation was rigorously established by Ebin and Marsden in 1970 using infinite dimensional Riemannian geometry and Sobolev space techniques. Many other nonlinear evolution PDEs in mathematical physics turned out to fit in this universal approach, and this opened a vast research on the geometry and analysis of the Euler-Arnold equations, i.e., geodesic equations on a Lie group endowed with one-sided invariant metrics. In this …
