A Dual Fano, And Dual Non-Fano Matroidal Network, Stephen Lee Johnson 2016 California State University - San Bernardino

A Dual Fano, And Dual Non-Fano Matroidal Network, Stephen Lee Johnson

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

Matroidal networks are useful tools in furthering research in network coding. They have been used to show the limitations of linear coding solutions. In this paper we examine the basic information on network coding and matroid theory. We then go over the method of creating matroidal networks. Finally we construct matroidal networks from the dual of the fano matroid and the dual of the non-fano matroid, and breifly discuss some coding solutions.


Realizing Tournaments As Models For K-Majority Voting, Gina Marie Cheney 2016 California State University - San Bernardino

Realizing Tournaments As Models For K-Majority Voting, Gina Marie Cheney

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

A k-majority tournament is a directed graph that models a k-majority voting scenario, which is realized by 2k - 1 rankings, called linear orderings, of the vertices in the tournament. Every k-majority voting scenario can be modeled by a tournament, but not every tournament is a model for a k-majority voting scenario. In this thesis we show that all acyclic tournaments can be realized as 2-majority tournaments. Further, we develop methods to realize certain quadratic residue tournaments as k-majority tournaments. Thus, each tournament within these classes of tournaments is a model for a k …


The Kauffman Bracket And Genus Of Alternating Links, Bryan M. Nguyen 2016 California State University, San Bernardino

The Kauffman Bracket And Genus Of Alternating Links, Bryan M. Nguyen

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

Giving a knot, there are three rules to help us finding the Kauffman bracket polynomial. Choosing knot’s orientation, then applying the Seifert algorithm to find the Euler characteristic and genus of its surface. Finally finding the relationship of the Kauffman bracket polynomial and the genus of the alternating links is the main goal of this paper.


The Evolution Of Cryptology, Gwendolyn Rae Souza 2016 California State University - San Bernardino

The Evolution Of Cryptology, Gwendolyn Rae Souza

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

We live in an age when our most private information is becoming exceedingly difficult to keep private. Cryptology allows for the creation of encryptive barriers that protect this information. Though the information is protected, it is not entirely inaccessible. A recipient may be able to access the information by decoding the message. This possible threat has encouraged cryptologists to evolve and complicate their encrypting methods so that future information can remain safe and become more difficult to decode. There are various methods of encryption that demonstrate how cryptology continues to evolve through time. These methods revolve around different areas of …


Population Projection And Habitat Preference Modeling Of The Endangered James Spinymussel (Pleurobema Collina), Marisa Draper 2016 James Madison University

Population Projection And Habitat Preference Modeling Of The Endangered James Spinymussel (Pleurobema Collina), Marisa Draper

Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019

The James Spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) is an endangered mussel species at the top of Virginia’s conservation list. The James Spinymussel plays a critical role in the environment by filtering and cleaning stream water while providing shelter and food for macroinvertebrates; however, conservation efforts are complicated by the mussels’ burrowing behavior, camouflage, and complex life cycle. The goals of the research conducted were to estimate detection probabilities that could be used to predict species presence and facilitate field work, and to track individually marked mussels to test for habitat preferences. Using existing literature and mark-recapture field data, these goals were accomplished …


Math And Sudoku: Exploring Sudoku Boards Through Graph Theory, Group Theory, And Combinatorics, Kyle Oddson 2016 Portland State University

Math And Sudoku: Exploring Sudoku Boards Through Graph Theory, Group Theory, And Combinatorics, Kyle Oddson

Student Research Symposium

Encoding Sudoku puzzles as partially colored graphs, we state and prove Akman’s theorem [1] regarding the associated partial chromatic polynomial [5]; we count the 4x4 sudoku boards, in total and fundamentally distinct; we count the diagonally distinct 4x4 sudoku boards; and we classify and enumerate the different structure types of 4x4 boards.


A Modularized Tablet-Based Approach To Preparation For Remedial Mathematics, Kenneth A. Parker 2016 CUNY New York City College of Technology

A Modularized Tablet-Based Approach To Preparation For Remedial Mathematics, Kenneth A. Parker

Publications and Research

Basic arithmetic forms the foundation of the math courses that students will face in their undergraduate careers. It is therefore crucial that students have a solid understanding of these fundamental concepts. At an open- access university offering both two-year and four-year degrees, incoming freshmen who were identified as lacking in basic arithmetic skills were engaged in an experimental technology-enhanced workshop designed to provide them with a deeper understanding of arithmetic prior to their initial remedial coursework. Customized online content was created specifically for this experiment, and the first implementation (n=27) yielded statistically significant improvement, not only from pretest to post- …


Neighborhood-Restricted Achromatic Colorings Of Graphs, James D. Chandler Sr. 2016 East Tennessee State Universtiy

Neighborhood-Restricted Achromatic Colorings Of Graphs, James D. Chandler Sr.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A (closed) neighborhood-restricted 2-achromatic-coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to the vertices of G such that no more than two colors are assigned in any closed neighborhood. In other words, for every vertex v in G, the vertex v and its neighbors are in at most two different color classes. The 2-achromatic number is defined as the maximum number of colors in any 2-achromatic-coloring of G. We study the 2-achromatic number. In particular, we improve a known upper bound and characterize the extremal graphs for some other known bounds.


Timely Curriculum Changes To An Undergraduate Actuarial Program, Thomas Hartl, Kristin Kennedy, John Quinn 2016 Bryant University

Timely Curriculum Changes To An Undergraduate Actuarial Program, Thomas Hartl, Kristin Kennedy, John Quinn

Mathematics Faculty Journal Articles

In the last decade mathematics departments in many universities around the country have established actuarial!science as a major concentration, or area of study. The profitable career choice of becoming an actuary has become well-known to parents and high school students, who are interested in mathematics, which at least partially drives a school to develop a program. Not all schools house the actuarial major in a mathematics department, but the number of universities, offering actuarial courses, has grown significantly in the last few years. At this time there are approximately 160 universities in the US alone offering this course of study? …


Drawing Numbers And Listening To Patterns, Loren Zo Haynes 2016 Georgia Southern University

Drawing Numbers And Listening To Patterns, Loren Zo Haynes

Honors College Theses

The triangular numbers is a series of number that add the natural numbers. Parabolic shapes emerge when this series is placed on a lattice, or imposed with a limited number of columns that causes the sequence to continue on the next row when it has reached the kth column. We examine these patterns and construct proofs that explain their behavior. We build off of this to see what happens to the patterns when there is not a limited number of columns, and we formulate the graphs as musical patterns on a staff, using each column as a line or space …


A New 12-Puzzle, Todd Estroff, Jeremiah Farrell 2016 Butler University

A New 12-Puzzle, Todd Estroff, Jeremiah Farrell

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

This puzzle is a continuation of the tribute to the magician Paul Swinford. The following 18 two-letter words use each of the 12 letters of PAUL SWINFORD exactly three times each. The words are to be placed on the nodes of the grid so that each hexagon and each of the three diagonals contain the 12 letters of our honoree's name.
