The Compact Implicit Integration Factor Scheme For The Solution Of Allen-Cahn Equations, Meshack K. Kiplagat

Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis we apply the compact implicit integration factor (cIIF) scheme towards solving the Allen-Cahn equations with zero-flux or periodic boundary conditions. The Allen-Cahn equation is a second-order nonlinear PDE which has been the focus of many applications spanning a wide range of fields, such as in material science where it was first introduced to model the phase separation of two metallic alloys, and in biology to study population dynamics, just to name a few. The compact implicit integration method works by first transforming the PDE into a system of ODEs by discretizing the spatial derivatives using the central …

A Comparison Of Smale Spaces And Laminations Via Inverse Limits, Rebecca Elizabeth Targove

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Inverse limits began as a purely topological concept, but have since been applied to areas such as dynamical systems and manifold theory. R.F. Williams related inverse limits to dynamical systems by presenting a construction and realization result relating expanding attractors to inverse limits of branched manifolds. Wieler then adapted these results for Smale Spaces with totally disconnected local stable sets. Rojo used tiling space results to relate inverse limits of branched manifolds to codimension zero laminations. This paper examines the results of Wieler and Rojo and shows that they are analogous.

On Modules Which Satisfy The Radical Formula, Bülent Saraç, Yücel Tiraş

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, the authors prove that every representable module over a commutative ring with identity satisfies the radical formula. With this result, they extend the class of modules satisfying the radical formula from that of Artinian modules to a larger one. They conclude their work by giving a description of the radical of a submodule of a representable module.

Generalized Sobolev-Shubin Spaces, Boundedness And Schatten Class Properties Of Toeplitz Operators, Ayşe Sandikçi, Ahmet Turan Gürkanli

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let w and \omega be two weight functions on R^{2d} and 1 \leq p,q \leq \infty. Also let M(p,q,\omega) (R^d) denote the subspace of tempered distributions S' (R^d) consisting of f \in S' (R^d) such that the Gabor transform V_g f of f is in the weighted Lorentz space L(p,q,\omega d\mu) (R^{2d}) . In the present paper we define a space Q_{g,w}^{M(p,q,\omega) (R^d) as counter image of M(p,q,\omega) (R^d) under Toeplitz operator with symbol w. We show that Q_{g,w}^{M(p,q,\omega)}(R^d) is a generalization of usual Sobolev-Shubin space Q_s (R^d). We also investigate the boundedness and Schatten-class properties of Toeplitz operators.

Global And Finitistic Dimension Of Hopf-Galois Extensions, Ling Liu, Qiaoling Guo

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let H be a Hopf algebra over a field k and A/B a right H-Galois extension. Then in this note a spectral sequence for Ext will be constructed which yields the estimate for global dimension of A in terms of the corresponding data for H and B. As an application, we obtain the Maschke-type theorems for crossed products and twisted smash products. Finally, the relationship of finitistic dimensions between A and B will be given, if H is semisimple.

Some Properties On The Baer-Invariant Of A Pair Of Groups And V_G-Marginal Series, Mohammad Reza Rismanchian, Mehdi Araskhan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The aim of this paper is to present some properties of the Baer-invariant of a pair of groups with respect to a given variety of groups V. We derive some equalities and inequalities of the Baer-invariant of a pair of finite groups, as long as V is considered to be a Schur-Baer variety. Moreover, we present a relative version of the concept of lower marginal series and give some isomorphisms among V_G-marginal factor groups. Also, we conclude a generalized version of the Stallings' theorem.

Foliations And A Class Of Metrics On Tangent Bundle, Esmaeil Peyghan, Leila Nourmohammadi Far

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let M be a smooth manifold with Finsler metric F, and let TM° be the slit tangent bundle of M with a generalized Riemannian metric G, which is induced by F. In this paper, we extract many natural foliations of (TM°,G) and study some of their geometric properties. Next we use this approach to obtain new characterizations of Finsler manifolds with positive constant curvature.

On Nash\'S 4-Sphere And Property 2r, Motoo Tange

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

D. Nash defined a family of homotopy 4-spheres in [11]. Proving that his manifolds S_{m,n,m',n'} are all real S^4, we show that they have handle decomposition with no 1-handles, two 2-handles and two 3-handles. The handle structures give new potential counterexamples to the Property 2R conjecture.

Finite Rings And Wilson's Theorem, Yasuyuki Hirano, Manabu Matsuoka

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we consider the product of all elements in the group of units in a finite ring and we generalize Wilson's theorem to finite rings. As an application, we study some generalizations of Wilson's theorem on residually finite Dedekind domains. And we also give some examples for such rings. Moreover we study some generalizations of Wilson's theorem on rings of matrices over a finite commutative ring.

On Theta Pair For A Proper Subalgebra, Ali Reza Salemkar, Sara Chehrazi, Hamid Mohammadzadeh

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

For a proper subalgebra K of a finite dimensional Lie algebra L, a pair (A,B) of subalgebras of L is called a \theta-pair if L = \langle A,K\rangle, B is the largest ideal of L contained in A\cap K and for each proper subalgebra C/B of A/B which is an ideal of L/B, we have L\neq C+K. In this article, using this concept, we give some characterizations of solvability and supersolvability of a finite dimensional Lie algebra.

Towards Interference-Immune And Channel-Aware Multicarrier Schemes: Filters, Lattices, And Interference Issues, Alphan Sahin

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In this dissertation, multicarrier schemes are reviewed within the framework of Gabor Systems. Their fundamental elements; what to transmit, i.e., symbols, how to transmit, i.e., filters or pulse shape, and where/when to transmit, i.e., lattices are investigated extensively. The relations between different types of multicarrier schemes are discussed.

Within the framework of Gabor systems, a new windowing approach, edge windowing, is developed to address the out-of-band (OOB) radiation problem of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based multicarrier schemes. To the best of our knowledge, for the first time, the diversity on the range of the users is exploited to suppress …

Schroder Matrix As Inverse Of Delannoy Matrix, Tian-Xiao He, Sheng-Liang Yang, Sai-Nan Zheng, Shao-Peng Yuan

Scholarship

Using Riordan arrays, we introduce a generalized Delannoy matrix by weighted Delannoy numbers. It turn out that Delannoy matrix, Pascal matrix, and Fibonaccimatrix are all special cases of the generalized Delannoy matrices, meanwhile Schroder matrix and Catalan matrix also arise in involving inverses of the generalized Delannoy matrices. These connections are the focus of our paper. The half of generalized Delannoy matrix is also considered. In addition, we obtain a combinatorial interpretation for the generalized Fibonacci numbers.

Polynomial Knot And Link Invariants From The Virtual Biquandle, Alissa S. Crans, Allison Henrich, Sam Nelson

Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science Faculty Works

The Alexander biquandle of a virtual knot or link is a module over a 2-variable Laurent polynomial ring which is an invariant of virtual knots and links. The elementary ideals of this module are then invariants of virtual isotopy which determine both the generalized Alexander polynomial (also known as the Sawollek polynomial) for virtual knots and the classical Alexander polynomial for classical knots. For a fixed monomial ordering <, the Gr\"obner bases for these ideals are computable, comparable invariants which fully determine the elementary ideals and which generalize and unify the classical and generalized Alexander polynomials. We provide examples to illustrate the usefulness of these invariants and propose questions for future work.

An Adaptive Total Variation Algorithm For Computing The Balanced Cut Of A Graph, Xavier Bresson, Thomas Laurent, David Uminsky, James H. Von Brecht

Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science Faculty Works

We propose an adaptive version of the total variation algorithm proposed in [3] for computing the balanced cut of a graph. The algorithm from [3] used a sequence of inner total variation minimizations to guarantee descent of the balanced cut energy as well as convergence of the algorithm. In practice the total variation minimization step is never solved exactly. Instead, an accuracy parameter is specified and the total variation minimization terminates once this level of accuracy is reached. The choice of this parameter can vastly impact both the computational time of the overall algorithm as well as the accuracy of …

Billey's Formula In Combinatorics, Geometry, And Topology, Julianna Tymoczko

Mathematics Sciences: Faculty Publications

In this expository paper we describe a powerful combinatorial formula and its implications in geometry, topology, and algebra. This formula first appeared in the appendix of a book by Andersen, Jantzen, and Soergel. Sara Billey discovered it independently five years later, and it played a prominent role in her work to evaluate certain polynomials closely related to Schubert polynomials. Billey's formula relates many pieces of Schubert calculus: the geometry of Schubert varieties, the action of the torus on the flag variety, combinatorial data about permutations, the cohomology of the flag variety and of the Schubert varieties, and the combinatorics of …
