Evolution Of Perturbations In Flow Field Mechanics, Samantha R. Bell, David Forliti, Nils Sedano, Kriss Vanderhyde 2014 Boston University

Evolution Of Perturbations In Flow Field Mechanics, Samantha R. Bell, David Forliti, Nils Sedano, Kriss Vanderhyde

STAR Program Research Presentations

This project explores the stability analysis of a given flow field. Specifically, where the peak disturbance occurs in a flow as this is the disturbance that is most likely to occur. In rocket combustion, it is important to understand where the maximum disturbance occurs so that the mixing of fuel can be stabilized. The instabilities are the results of frequencies in the area surrounding the flow field. The linear stability governing equations are employed to better understand the disturbance. The governing equations for continuity and momentum in the x and y directions are used to form an equation for the …


Achieving Numerical Reproducibility In The Parallelized Floating Point Dot Product, Alyssa Anderson 2014 College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University

Achieving Numerical Reproducibility In The Parallelized Floating Point Dot Product, Alyssa Anderson

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

The world depends on computers every day to do accurate real-world mathematics. Computers must store real numbers in a finite representation that approximates real numbers, called floating point representation. However, simply by changing the order in which we add a list of floating point numbers can provide a different result that may even be less accurate than another ordering. This is because floating point addition is not associative. That is, (a + b) + c is not necessarily equal to a + (b + c). Parallel computing techniques introduce the ability to reorder computations, thus producing a difference in results …


Global Existence, Uniform Decay, And Exponential Growth Of Solutions For A System Of Viscoelastic Petrovsky Equations, FARAMARZ TAHAMTANI, AMIR PEYRAVI 2014 TÜBİTAK

Global Existence, Uniform Decay, And Exponential Growth Of Solutions For A System Of Viscoelastic Petrovsky Equations, Faramarz Tahamtani, Amir Peyravi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study the initial-boundary value problem for a system of nonlinear viscoelastic Petrovsky equations. Introducing suitable perturbed energy functionals and using the potential well method we prove uniform decay of solution energy under some restrictions on the initial data and the relaxation functions. Moreover, we establish a growth result for certain solutions with positive initial energy.


Scattering Data In An Inverse Scattering Problem On The Semi-Axis For A First-Order Hyperbolic System, MANSUR ISMAILOV, İBRAHİM TEKİN 2014 TÜBİTAK

Scattering Data In An Inverse Scattering Problem On The Semi-Axis For A First-Order Hyperbolic System, Mansur Ismailov, İbrahi̇m Teki̇n

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The inverse scattering problem for the first-order hyperbolic system on the semi-axis in the case of 2 incident and 2 scattered waves under consideration of 2 problems with the same given incident waves and different boundary conditions is considered. The scattering data on the semi-axis are given in terms of the scattering operator on the whole axis for the same system with the coefficients, which are extended in the whole axis by zero.


Kernel Operators On The Upper Half-Space: Boundedness And Compactness Criteria, USMAN ASHRAF, MUHAMMAD ASIF, ALEXANDER MESKHI 2014 TÜBİTAK

Kernel Operators On The Upper Half-Space: Boundedness And Compactness Criteria, Usman Ashraf, Muhammad Asif, Alexander Meskhi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions on a weight v governing the trace inequality \hat{K}f _{L^q_v(\hat{E})} \leq C f _{L^p(E)}, where E is a cone on a homogeneous group, \hat{E}: = E \times R_+ and \hat{K} is a positive kernel operator defined on \hat{E}. Compactness criteria for this operator are also established.

On Kakutani--Krein And Maeda--Ogasawara Spaces, Zafer Ercan, Neşet Özkan Tan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let E be an Archimedean Riesz space. It is shown that the Kakutani--Krein space of the center of the Dedekind completion of E and the Maeda--Ogasawara space of E are homeomorphic. By applying this, we can reprove a Banach Stone type theorem for C^{\infty}(S) spaces, where S is a Stonean space.

Split Strongly Abelian P-Chief Factors And First Degree Restricted Cohomology, Jorg Feldvoss, Salvatore Siciliano, Thomas Weigel 2014 University of South Alabama

Split Strongly Abelian P-Chief Factors And First Degree Restricted Cohomology, Jorg Feldvoss, Salvatore Siciliano, Thomas Weigel

University Faculty and Staff Publications

In this paper we investigate the relation between the multiplicities of split strongly abelian p-chief factors of finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebras and first degree restricted cohomology. As an application we obtain a characterization of solvable restricted Lie algebras in terms of the multiplicities of split strongly abelian p-chief factors. Moreover, we derive some results in the representation theory of restricted Lie algebras related to the principal block and the projective cover of the trivial irreducible module of a finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebra. In particular, we obtain a characterization of finite-dimensional solvable restricted Lie algebras in terms of the second Loewy …


Almost Contact Lagrangian Submanifolds Of Nearly Kaehler 6-Sphere, Ramesh Sharma, Sharief Deshmukh, Falleh Al-Solamy 2014 University of New Haven

Almost Contact Lagrangian Submanifolds Of Nearly Kaehler 6-Sphere, Ramesh Sharma, Sharief Deshmukh, Falleh Al-Solamy

Mathematics Faculty Publications

For a Lagrangian submanifold M of S 6 with nearly Kaehler structure, we provide conditions for a canonically induced almost contact metric structure on M by a unit vector field, to be Sasakian. Assuming M contact metric, we show that it is Sasakian if and only if the second fundamental form annihilates the Reeb vector field ξ, furthermore, if the Sasakian submanifold M is parallel along ξ, then it is the totally geodesic 3-sphere. We conclude with a condition that reduces the normal canonical almost contact metric structure on M to Sasakian or cosymplectic structure.


Almost Ricci Solitons And K-Contact Geometry, Ramesh Sharma 2014 University of New Haven

Almost Ricci Solitons And K-Contact Geometry, Ramesh Sharma

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We give a short Lie-derivative theoretic proof of the following recent result of Barros et al. “A compact non-trivial almost Ricci soliton with constant scalar curvature is gradient, and isometric to a Euclidean sphere”. Next, we obtain the result: a complete almost Ricci soliton whose metric g is K-contact and flow vector field X is contact, becomes a Ricci soliton with constant scalar curvature. In particular, for X strict, g becomes compact Sasakian Einstein.


Sasakian Metric As A Ricci Soliton And Related Results, Ramesh Sharma, Amalendu Ghosh 2014 University of New Haven

Sasakian Metric As A Ricci Soliton And Related Results, Ramesh Sharma, Amalendu Ghosh

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We prove the following results: (i) a Sasakian metric as a non-trivial Ricci soliton is null η-Einstein, and expanding. Such a characterization permits us to identify the Sasakian metric on the Heisenberg group H2n+1 as an explicit example of (non-trivial) Ricci soliton of such type. (ii) If an η-Einstein contact metric manifold M has a vector field V leaving the structure tensor and the scalar curvature invariant, then either V is an infinitesimal automorphism, or M is D-homothetically fixed K-contact.

Fractional Generalizations Of Filtering Problems And Their Associated Fractional Zakai Equation, Sabir Umarov, Fred Daum, Kenric Nelson 2014 University of New Haven

Fractional Generalizations Of Filtering Problems And Their Associated Fractional Zakai Equation, Sabir Umarov, Fred Daum, Kenric Nelson

Mathematics Faculty Publications

In this paper we discuss fractional generalizations of the filtering problem. The ”fractional” nature comes from time-changed state or observation processes, basic ingredients of the filtering problem. The mathematical feature of the fractional filtering problem emerges as the Riemann-Liouville or Caputo-Djrbashian fractional derivative in the associated Zakai equation. We discuss fractional generalizations of the nonlinear filtering problem whose state and observation processes are driven by time-changed Brownian motion or/and Lévy process.

Multi-Valued Parabolic Variational Inequalities And Related Variational-Hemivariational Inequalities, Siegfried Carl, Vy Khoi Le 2014 Missouri University of Science and Technology

Multi-Valued Parabolic Variational Inequalities And Related Variational-Hemivariational Inequalities, Siegfried Carl, Vy Khoi Le

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper we study multi-valued parabolic variational inequalities involving quasilinear parabolic operators, and multi-valued integral terms over the underlying parabolic cylinder as well as over parts of the lateral parabolic boundary, where the multi-valued functions involved are assumed to be upper semicontinuous only. Note, since lower semicontinuous multi-valued functions allow always for a Carathéodory selection, this case can be considered as the trivial case and therefore will be omitted. Our main goal is threefold: First, we provide an analytical framework and an existence theory for the problems under consideration. Unlike in recent publications on multi-valued parabolic variational inequalities, the …
