On Density Theorems For Rings Of Krull Type With Zero Divisors, Başak Ay Saylam

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let R be a commutative ring and I(R) denote the multiplicative group of all invertible fractional ideals of R, ordered by A \leqslant B if and only if B \subseteq A. If R is a Marot ring of Krull type, then R_{(P_i)}, where {P_i}_{i \in I} are a collection of prime regular ideals of R, is a valuation ring and R = \bigcap R_{(P_i)}. We denote by G_i the value group of the valuation associated with R_{(P_i)}. We prove that there is an order homomorphism from I(R) into the cardinal direct sum \coprod_{i \in I} G_i and we investigate the …

Regular Poles For The P-Adic Group Gsp_4, Yusuf Danişman

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We compute the regular poles of the L-factors of the admissible and irreducible representations of the group GSp_4, which admit a nonsplit Bessel functional and have a Jacquet module length of at most 2 with respect to the unipotent radical of the Siegel parabolic, over a non-Archimedean local field of odd characteristic. We also compute the L-factors of the generic representations of GSp_4.

Existence, Global Nonexistence, And Asymptotic Behavior Of Solutions For The Cauchy Problem Of A Multidimensional Generalized Damped Boussinesq-Type Equation, Erhan Pi̇şki̇n, Necat Polat

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We consider the existence, both locally and globally in time, the global nonexistence, and the asymptotic behavior of solutions for the Cauchy problem of a multidimensional generalized Boussinesq-type equation with a damping term.

Relaxed Elastic Line In A Riemannian Manifold, Gözde Özkan, Ahmet Yücesan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We obtain a differential equation with 2 boundary conditions for a relaxed elastic line in a Riemannian manifold. This differential equation, which is found with respect to constant sectional curvature G, geodesic curvature \kappa, and 2 boundary conditions, gives a more direct and more geometric approach to questions concerning a relaxed elastic line in a Riemannian manifold. We give various theorems and results in terms of a relaxed elastic line. Consequently, we examine the concept of a relaxed elastic line in 2- and 3- dimensional space forms.

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we study the Joachimsthal theorem in Riemann--Otsuki space

Hausdorff Dimension Of The Graph Of The Error-Sum Function Of \Alpha-Lüroth Series, Haibo Chen, Wenbo Wang, Min Yu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let \alpha be a countable partition of the unit interval [0,1]. In this paper, we will introduce the error-sum function of \alpha-Lüroth series and determine the Hausdorff dimension of its graph when the partition \alpha is eventually decreasing. Some other properties of the error-sum function are also investigated.

On A Generalization Of Kelly's Combinatorial Lemma, Aymen Ben Amira, Jamel Dammak, Hamza Si Kaddour

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Kelly's combinatorial lemma is a basic tool in the study of Ulam's reconstruction conjecture. A generalization in terms of a family of t -elements subsets of a v -element set was given by Pouzet. We consider a version of this generalization modulo a prime p. We give illustrations to graphs and tournaments.

Frobenius-Like Groups As Groups Of Automorphisms, Güli̇n Ercan, İsmai̇l Şuayi̇p Güloğlu, Evgeny Khukhro

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A finite group FH is said to be Frobenius-like if it has a nontrivial nilpotent normal subgroup F with a nontrivial complement H such that FH/[F,F] is a Frobenius group with Frobenius kernel F/[F,F]. Such subgroups and sections are abundant in any nonnilpotent finite group. We discuss several recent results about the properties of a finite group G admitting a Frobenius-like group of automorphisms FH aiming at restrictions on G in terms of C_G(H) and focusing mainly on bounds for the Fitting height and related parameters. Earlier such results were obtained for Frobenius groups of automorphisms; new theorems for Frobenius-like …

Gradient Estimates For The Porous Medium Type Equation On Smooth Metric Measure Space, Deng Yihua

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The porous medium equation arises in different applications to model diffusive phenomena. In this paper, we obtain several gradient estimates for some porous medium type equations on smooth metric measure space with N-Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor bounded from below. In particular, we improve and generalize some current gradient estimates for the porous medium equations.

On 4-Dimensional Almost Para-Complex Pure-Walker Manifolds, Murat İşcan, Hi̇lmi̇ Sarsilmaz, Si̇bel Turanli

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper is concerned with almost para-complex structures on Walker 4-manifolds. For these structures, we study some problems of Kähler manifolds. We also give an example of a flat almost para-complex manifold, which consists of a nonintegrable almost para-complex structure on Walker 4-manifolds.

Generalized Derivations On Jordan Ideals In Prime Rings, Mahmoud El-Soufi, Ahmed Aboubakr

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let R be a 2-torsion free prime ring with center Z(R), J be a nonzero Jordan ideal also a subring of R, and F be a generalized derivation with associated derivation d. In the present paper, we shall show that J\subseteq Z(R) if any one of the following properties holds: (i) [F(u), u]\in Z(R), (ii) F(u)u = ud(u), (iii) d(u^2)=2F(u)u, (iv) F(u^2)-2uF(u) = d(u^2)-2ud(u), (v) F^2(u)+3d^2(u)=2Fd(u)+2dF(u), (vi) F(u^2) = 2uF(u) for all u \in J.

A Proposed Pedagogical Approach For Preparing Teacher Candidates To Incorporate (Academic) Language, Woong Lim, Lynn Stallings

Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators

The edTPA is a performance-based assessment that aims to measure teacher candidates’ readiness for teaching. Beginning in the fall of 2015, this assessment will be a mandatory requirement for those seeking certification in Georgia. General agreement exists in the field of education about the basic knowledge and skills essential for beginning teachers to demonstrate in classroom teaching. Does edTPA measure the knowledge and skills essential for beginning mathematics teachers in particular? Assuming that edTPA can successfully measure that knowledge and skills for beginning teachers, the use of the assessment could be valuable.

One of the critical components of edTPA is …

Caep, Nctm, And Secondary Mathematics Program Revisions, Dianna J. Spence

Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators

Eight assessments were developed for CAEP (formerly NCATE) and NCTM recognition of our secondary mathematics program. These assessments include internship work samples, field evaluations, and candidate portfolios addressing content knowledge, pedagogical methods, and mathematics technology. Based on data collected from these assessments, alongside ongoing evaluation of the program, several curriculum and program revisions were implemented, including: 1) development of mathematics content-specific courses in classroom management, assessment, and secondary curriculum; 2) restructuring of a senior seminar course in mathematics education; and 3) an increased content focus in probability and statistics. The adoption of new NCTM standards in the CAEP review process …

Do You See What I See? Deepening Teachers’ Understanding Of Linear Equations Through Student Interviews, Tamara Pearson, Kelli L. Nipper, Catherine Matos

Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators

Many teachers have trouble transitioning their students between natural recursive thinking about the data and algebraic notation for representing linear functions (Zazkis & Liljedahl, 2002).

In this study, we interviewed eighteen middle school students to see how they used prior instruction to think about a geometric pattern and construct its corresponding linear equation. All students

were given the same task to complete and were questioned about their thinking during the interview.

We found that the recording of pattern recognition plays a substantial part in helping students recognize and write explicit patterns. By having students decompose the total perimeter into how …

Turán Problems On Non-Uniform Hypergraphs, Jeremy Travis Johnston

Theses and Dissertations

A non-uniform hypergraph H = (V, E) consists of a vertex set V and an edge set E ⊆ 2 V; the edges in E are not required to all have the same cardinality. The set of all cardinalities of edges in H is denoted by R(H), the set of edge types. For a fixed hypergraph H, the Turán density π(H) is defined to be the maximum Lubell value of a graph G (in the limit) which is H-free and such that R(G) ⊆ R(H). The Lubell function, is the expected number of edges in G hit by a random …

Determinants Of Incidence And Hessian Matrices Arising From The Vector Space Lattice, Saeed Nasseh, Alexandra Seceleanu, Junzo Watanabe

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

We give explicit formulas for the determinants of the incidence and Hessian matrices arising from the interaction between the rank 1 and rank n−1 level sets of the subspace lattice of an n-dimensional finite vector space. Our exploration is motivated by the fact that both of these matrices arise naturally in the study of the combinatorial and algebraic Lefschetz properties for the vector space lattice and the graded Artinian Gorenstein algebra associated to it, respectively.

Note On Rainbow Connection In Oriented Graphs With Diameter 2, Rebecca Holliday, Colton Magnant, Pouria Salehi Nowbandegani

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

In this note, we provide a sharp upper bound on the rainbow connection number of tournaments of diameter $2$. For a tournament $T$ of diameter $2$, we show $2 \leq \overrightarrow{rc}(T) \leq 3$. Furthermore, we provide a general upper bound on the rainbow $k$-connection number of tournaments as a simple example of the probabilistic method. Finally, we show that an edge-colored tournament of $k^{th}$ diameter $2$ has rainbow $k$-connection number at most approximately $k^{2}$.

Prospect Theory Preferences In Noncooperative Game Theory, Philip Leclerc

Theses and Dissertations

The present work seeks to incorporate a popular descriptive, empirically grounded model of human preference under risk, prospect theory, into the equilibrium theory of noncooperative games. Three primary, candidate definitions are systematically identified on the basis of classical characterizations of Nash Equilibrium; in addition, three equilibrium subtypes are defined for each primary definition, in order to enable modeling of players' reference points as exogenous and fixed, slowly and myopically adaptive, highly flexible and non-myopically adaptive. Each primary equilibrium concept was analyzed both theoretically and empirically; for the theoretical analyses, prospect theory, game theory, and computational complexity theory were all summoned …

Downhill Domination In Graphs, Teresa W. Haynes, Stephen T. Hedetniemi, Jessie D. Jamieson, William B. Jamieson

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

A path π = (v₁, v₂, . . . , v_k+1) iun a graph G = (V, E) is a downhill path if for every i, 1 ≤ i ≤ k, deg(v_i) ≥ deg(v_i+1), where deg(vi) denotes the degree of vertex v_i ∈ V. The downhill domination number equals the minimum cardinality of a set S ⊆ V having the property that every vertex v ∈ V lies on a downhill path originating from some vertex in S …

Comparing Skew Schur Functions: A Quasisymmetric Perspective, Peter R. W. Mcnamara

Faculty Journal Articles

Reiner, Shaw and van Willigenburg showed that if two skew Schur functions s_A and s_B are equal, then the skew shapes $A$ and $B$ must have the same "row overlap partitions." Here we show that these row overlap equalities are also implied by a much weaker condition than Schur equality: that s_A and s_B have the same support when expanded in the fundamental quasisymmetric basis F. Surprisingly, there is significant evidence supporting a conjecture that the converse is also true.

In fact, we work in terms of inequalities, showing that if the F-support of s_{A …}
