Identification Of Control Targets In Boolean Molecular Network Models Via Computational Algebra, David Murrugarra, Alan Veliz-Cuba, Boris Aguilar, Reinhard Laubenbacher 2016 University of Kentucky

Identification Of Control Targets In Boolean Molecular Network Models Via Computational Algebra, David Murrugarra, Alan Veliz-Cuba, Boris Aguilar, Reinhard Laubenbacher

Mathematics Faculty Publications

Background: Many problems in biomedicine and other areas of the life sciences can be characterized as control problems, with the goal of finding strategies to change a disease or otherwise undesirable state of a biological system into another, more desirable, state through an intervention, such as a drug or other therapeutic treatment. The identification of such strategies is typically based on a mathematical model of the process to be altered through targeted control inputs. This paper focuses on processes at the molecular level that determine the state of an individual cell, involving signaling or gene regulation. The mathematical model type …

Critical Groups Of Graphs With Dihedral Actions Ii, Darren B. Glass 2016 Gettysburg College

Critical Groups Of Graphs With Dihedral Actions Ii, Darren B. Glass

Math Faculty Publications

In this paper we consider the critical group of finite connected graphs which admit harmonic actions by the dihedral group Dn, extending earlier work by the author and Criel Merino. In particular, we show that the critical group of such a graph can be decomposed in terms of the critical groups of the quotients of the graph by certain subgroups of the automorphism group. This is analogous to a theorem of Kani and Rosen which decomposes the Jacobians of algebraic curves with a Dn-action.


Temporal Network Analysis Of Small Group Discourse, Bernard P. Ricca, Michelle Jordan 2016 St. John Fisher University

Temporal Network Analysis Of Small Group Discourse, Bernard P. Ricca, Michelle Jordan

Mathematical and Computing Sciences Faculty/Staff Publications

The analysis of school-age children engaged in engineering projects has proceeded by examining the conversations that take place among those children. The analysis of classroom discourse often considers a conversational turn to be the unit of analysis. In this study, small-group conversations among students engaged in a robotics project are analyzed by forming a dynamic network with the students as nodes and the utterances of each turn as edges. The data collected for this project contained more than 1000 turns for each group, with each group consisting of 4 students (and the occasional inclusion of a teacher or other interloper). …


State Space Analysis And Its Connection To The Classroom, Bernard P. Ricca, Kris H. Green 2016 St. John Fisher University

State Space Analysis And Its Connection To The Classroom, Bernard P. Ricca, Kris H. Green

Mathematical and Computing Sciences Faculty/Staff Publications

Discrete dynamical systems have been used to theoretically model the complex dynamics of classrooms. While time-series analyses of these models has yielded some insights, state space analyses can yield additional insights; this paper will explore state space analyses and their application to classroom situations. One benefit of state space analysis is that it allows simultaneous exploration of multiple time-series, and so can more easily provide information about divergence and convergence of paths. Additionally, state space analysis, more easily than time-series analysis, can provide information about the existence of multiple paths leading toward a desired state. Further, state space analysis can …


Hyperplanes That Intersect Each Ray Of A Cone Once And A Banach Space Counterexample, Chris McCarthy 2016 CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College

Hyperplanes That Intersect Each Ray Of A Cone Once And A Banach Space Counterexample, Chris Mccarthy

Publications and Research

Suppose � is a cone contained in real vector space �. When does � contain a hyperplane � that intersects each of the 0-rays in �\{0} exactly once? We build on results found in Aliprantis, Tourky, and Klee Jr.’s work to give a partial answer to this question.We also present an example of a salient, closed Banach space cone � for which there does not exist a hyperplane that intersects each 0-ray in � \ {0} exactly once.

Mathematical And Numerical Approaches To Cracked Euler-Bernoulli Beams, Jay Mayfield 2016 Arkansas State University

Mathematical And Numerical Approaches To Cracked Euler-Bernoulli Beams, Jay Mayfield

Student Theses and Dissertations

We consider a nonlinear hyperbolic fourth order partial differential equation and ordinary differential equation mathematically and numerically that describe the motion of cracked Euler-Bernoulli beams. We assume that the endpoints of the beams are clamped and a crack in the beams is modeled by a set of natural boundary conditions. The effect of the crack on the beams increases in time, which is seen from the damage function. The beams will oscillate transversely in space until they break at the point of the crack. The midpoint rule is applied to a discretized time domain. Fully discrete numerical schemes are proposed …


Long Term Optimal Portfolio Selection Problem In Different Models, Bowen Hu 2016 Wilfrid Laurier University

Long Term Optimal Portfolio Selection Problem In Different Models, Bowen Hu

Mathematics Theses and Dissertations

In this project, we mainly focus on how to set up a complete methodology for finding the best investment portfolio which is meeting investor's risk preferences. In order to consider different aspects of their risk preferences, we use a combination of several risk and performance metrics in the ranking function. After applying this ranking system to select most suitable funds from a large pool, we use different models to optimize the portfolio. Past 5-10 years data set has been extracted from Bloomberg. We find out that the asymmetric multivariate t-distribution can dominate the multivariate normal distribution and the symmetric t-distribution …


Recurrence Relations For Orthogonal Polynomials For Pdes In Polar And Cylindrical Geometrics, Megan Richardson, James V. Lambers 2016 University of Southern Mississippi

Recurrence Relations For Orthogonal Polynomials For Pdes In Polar And Cylindrical Geometrics, Megan Richardson, James V. Lambers

Faculty Publications

This paper introduces two families of orthogonal polynomials on the interval (−1,1), with weight function w(x)=1. The first family satisfies the boundary condition p(1)=0, and the second one satisfies the boundary conditions p(-1)=p(1)=0. These boundary conditions arise naturally from PDEs defined on a disk with Dirichlet boundary conditions and the requirement of regularity in Cartesian coordinates. The families of orthogonal polynomials are obtained by orthogonalizing short linear combinations of Legendre polynomials that satisfy the same boundary conditions. Then, the three-term recurrence relations are derived. Finally, it is shown that from these recurrence relations, one can …

Grnsight: A Web Application And Service For Visualizing Models Of Small- To Medium-Scale Gene Regulatory Networks, Kam D. Dahlquist, John David N. Dionisio, Ben G. Fitzpatrick, Nicole A. Anguiano, Anindita Varshneya, Britain J. Southwick, Mihir Samdarshi 2016 Loyola Marymount University

Grnsight: A Web Application And Service For Visualizing Models Of Small- To Medium-Scale Gene Regulatory Networks, Kam D. Dahlquist, John David N. Dionisio, Ben G. Fitzpatrick, Nicole A. Anguiano, Anindita Varshneya, Britain J. Southwick, Mihir Samdarshi

Biology Faculty Works

GRNsight is a web application and service for visualizing models of gene regulatory networks (GRNs). A gene regulatory network (GRN) consists of genes, transcription factors, and the regulatory connections between them which govern the level of expression of mRNA and protein from genes. The original motivation came from our efforts to perform parameter estimation and forward simulation of the dynamics of a differential equations model of a small GRN with 21 nodes and 31 edges. We wanted a quick and easy way to visualize the weight parameters from the model which represent the direction and magnitude of the influence of …


Multilocality And Fusion Rules On The Generalized Structure Functions In Two-Dimensional And Three-Dimensional Navier-Stokes Turbulence, Eleftherios Gkioulekas 2016 The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

Multilocality And Fusion Rules On The Generalized Structure Functions In Two-Dimensional And Three-Dimensional Navier-Stokes Turbulence, Eleftherios Gkioulekas

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications

Using the fusion-rules hypothesis for three-dimensional and two-dimensional Navier-Stokes turbulence, we generalize a previous nonperturbative locality proof to multiple applications of the nonlinear interactions operator on generalized structure functions of velocity differences. We call this generalization of nonperturbative locality to multiple applications of the nonlinear interactions operator “multilocality.” The resulting cross terms pose a new challenge requiring a new argument and the introduction of a new fusion rule that takes advantage of rotational symmetry. Our main result is that the fusion-rules hypothesis implies both locality and multilocality in both the IR and UV limits for the downscale energy cascade of …


Equivariant Formality Of Transversely Symplectic Foliations And Frobenius Manifolds, Yi Lin, Xiangdong Yang 2016 Georgia Southern University

Equivariant Formality Of Transversely Symplectic Foliations And Frobenius Manifolds, Yi Lin, Xiangdong Yang

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

Consider the Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group on a transversely symplectic foliation whose basic cohomology satisfies the Hard Lefschetz property. We establish an equivariant formality theorem and an equivariant symplectic dδ-lemma in this setting. As an application, we show that there exists a natural Frobenius manifold structure on the equivariant basic cohomology of the given foliation. In particular, this result provides a class of new examples of dGBV-algebras whose cohomology carries a Frobenius manifold structure.
