We prove several lower bounds for the norm of a truncated Toeplitz operator and obtain a curious relationship between the H² and H^∞ norms of functions in model spaces.

Finite Subquandles Of Sphere, Nüli̇fer Özdemi̇r, Hüseyi̇n Azcan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this work finite subquandles of sphere are classified by using classification of subgroups of orthogonal group O(3). For any subquandle Q of sphere there is a subgroup G_Q of O(3) associated with Q. It is shown that if Q is a finite (infinite) subquandle, then G_Q is a finite (infinite) subgroup. Finite subquandles of sphere are obtained from actions of finite subgroups of SO(3) on sphere. It is proved that the finite subquandles Q_1 and Q_2 of sphere whose all elements are not on the same great circle are isomorphic if and only if the subgroups G_{Q_1} and G_{Q_2} …

Derived Categories And The Analytic Approach To General Reciprocity Laws. Part Iii, Michael Berg

Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science Faculty Works

Building on the scaffolding constructed in the first two articles in this series, we now proceed to the geometric phase of our sheaf (-complex) theoretic quasidualization of Kubota's formalism for n-Hilbert reciprocity. Employing recent work by Bridgeland on stability conditions, we extend our yoga of t-structures situated above diagrams of specifically designed derived categories to arrangements of metric spaces or complex manifolds. This prepares the way for proving n-Hilbert reciprocity by means of singularity analysis.

Epimorphisms And Boundary Slopes Of 2–Bridge Knots, Jim Hoste, Patrick D. Shanahan

Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science Faculty Works

In this article we study a partial ordering on knots in S³ where K₁≥K₂ if there is an epimorphism from the knot group of K₁ onto the knot group of K₂ which preserves peripheral structure. If K₁ is a 2–bridge knot and K₁≥K₂, then it is known that K₂ must also be 2–bridge. Furthermore, Ohtsuki, Riley and Sakuma give a construction which, for a given 2–bridge knot K_p∕q, produces infinitely many 2–bridge knots K_p′/q′ with K_p′∕q′≥K_p∕q. After characterizing all 2–bridge knots …

Spark-Induced Sparks As A Mechanism Of Intracellular Calcium Alternans In Cardiac Myocytes, Robert J. Rovetti, Xiaohua Cui, Alan Garfinkel, James N. Weiss, Zhilin Qu

Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science Faculty Works

Rationale: Intracellular calcium (Ca) alternans has been widely studied in cardiac myocytes and tissue, yet the underlying mechanism remains controversial.

Objective: In this study, we used computational modeling and simulation to study how randomly occurring Ca sparks interact collectively to result in whole-cell Ca alternans.

Methods and Results: We developed a spatially-distributed intracellular Ca cycling model in which Ca release units (CRUs) are locally coupled by Ca diffusion throughout the myoplasm and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) network. Ca sparks occur randomly in the CRU network when periodically paced with a clamped voltage waveform, but Ca alternans develops as the pacing speeds …

Situating Sotl Within The Disciplines: Mathematics In The United States As A Case Study, Jacqueline Dewar, Curtis Bennett

Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science Faculty Works

After two decades of work, many in the SoTL community are pondering the future of the SoTL movement. Will it sustain its influence? Will it continue to attract new participants? What role should the disciplines play? From the perspective of mathematics, this paper examines efforts by the Carnegie Academy and individuals within the mathematical community to build disciplinary support for the scholarship of teaching and learning. The authors, both mathematicians and Carnegie scholars, restrict their observations to the efforts undertaken in the United States during the last decade and examine the situation in mathematics in greater depth than has heretofore …

Ergodic And Combinatorial Proofs Of Van Der Waerden's Theorem, Matthew Samuel Rothlisberger

CMC Senior Theses

Followed two different proofs of van der Waerden's theorem. Found that the two proofs yield important information about arithmetic progressions and the theorem. van der Waerden's theorem explains the occurrence of arithmetic progressions which can be used to explain such things as the Bible Code.

Korovkin Type Approximation Theorem For Functions Of Two Variables In Statistical Sense, Fadi̇me Di̇ri̇k, Kami̇l Demi̇rci̇

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, using the concept of A-statistical convergence for double sequences, we investigate a Korovkin-type approximation theorem for sequences of positive linear operator on the space of all continuous real valued functions defined on any compact subset of the real two-dimensional space. Then we display an application which shows that our new result is stronger than its classical version. We also obtain a Voronovskaya-type theorem \ and some differential properties for sequences of positive linear operators constructed by means of the Bernstein polynomials of two variables.

Extremal Lagrangian Submanifolds In A Complex Space Form N^N(4c), Shichang Shu, Annie Yi Han

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let N^n(4c) be the complex space form of constant holomorphic sectional curvature 4c, \varphi: M \to N^n(4c) be an immersion of an n-dimensional Lagrangian manifold M in N^n(4c). Denote by S and H the square of the length of the second fundamental form and the mean curvature of M. Let \rho be the non-negative function on M defined by \rho^2=S-nH^2, Q be the function which assigns to each point of M the infimum of the Ricci curvature at the point. In this paper, we consider the variational problem for non-negative functional U(\varphi)=\int_M\rho^2dv=\int_M(S-nH^2)dv. We call the critical points of U(\varphi) the …

A Note On The Lyapunov Exponent In Continued Fraction Expansions, Jianzhong Cheng, Lu-Ming Shen

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let T:[0,1) \to [0,1) be the Gauss transformation. For any irrational x \in [0,1), the Lyapunov exponent \alpha(x) of x is defined as \alpha(x)=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{1}{n} \log (T^n)'(x) . By Birkoff Average Theorem, one knows that \alpha(x) exists almost surely. However, in this paper, we will see that the non-typical set \{x\in [0,1):\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{1}{n} \log (T^n)'(x) does not exist\} carries full Hausdorff dimension.

On The Codifferential Of The Kähler Form And Cosymplectic Metrics On Maximal Flag Manifolds, Marlio Paredes, Sofia Pinzon

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Using moving frames we obtain a formula to calculate the codifferential of the Kähler form on a maximal flag manifold. We use this formula to obtain some differential type conditions so that a metric on the classical maximal flag manifold be cosymplectic.

Generalized Fibonacci Sequences Related To The Extended Hecke Groups And An Application To The Extended Modular Group, Özden Koruoğlu, Recep Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The extended Hecke groups \overline{H}(\lambda _{q}) are generated by T(z)=-1/z, S(z)=-1/(z+\lambda _{q}) and R(z)=1/ \overline{z} with \lambda _{q}=2\cos (\pi /q) for q\geq 3 integer. In this paper, we obtain a sequence which is a generalized version of the Fibonacci sequence given in [6] for the extended modular group \overline{\Gamma }, in the extended Hecke groups \overline{H}(\lambda_{q}). Then we apply our results to \overline{\Gamma } to find all elements of the extended modular group \overline{\Gamma }.

On The Qualitative Analysis Of The Uniqueness Of The Movement Of Endothelial Cells, Erdem Altuntaç, Serdal Pamuk

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper extends the work of Pamuk (2003) by showing mathematically that the movement of endothelial cells, to the regions where active enzyme is large or where fibronectin is small, is unique. To do this, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of the steady-state solution of an initial-boundary value problem which mathematically models endothelial cell movement in tumor angiogenesis. A specific example showing the instability of this steady-state solution is provided.

Swan Conductors And Torsion In The Logarithmic De Rham Complex, Si̇nan Ünver

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We prove, for an arithmetic scheme X/S over a discrete valuation ring whose special fiber is a strict normal crossings divisor in X, that the Swan conductor of X/S is equal to the Euler characteristic of the torsion in the logarithmic de Rham complex of X/S. This is a precise logarithmic analog of a theorem by Bloch [1].

Existence And Uniqueness Of Solutions To Neutral Stochastic Functional Differential Equations With Infinite Delay In L^P(\Omega,C_H), Haibo Bao

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we shall consider the existence and uniqueness of solutions to neutral stochastic functional differential equations with infinite delay in L^p(\Omega,C_h) space: d[x(t)-G(x_t)]=f(t,x_t)dt+g(t,x_t)dB(t), where we assume f:R^+\times L^p(\Omega,C_h) \to L^p(\Omega,R^n), g:R^+\times L^p(\Omega,C_h) \to L^p(\Omega,L(R^m, R^n)), G: L^p(\Omega,C_h) \to L^p(\Omega,R^n), p>2,\, and B(t) is a given m-dimensional Brownian motion.

On Maximum Principle And Existence Of Positive Weak Solutions For N\Times N Nonlinear Elliptic Systems Involving Degenerated P-Laplacian Operators, H. M. Serag, S. A. Khafagy

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We study the Maximum Principle and existence of positive weak solutions for the n \times n nonlinear elliptic system -\Delta_{P,p}u_i=\sum_{j=1}^na_{ij}(x) u_j ^{p-2}u_j+f_i(x,u_1,u_2, ... ,u_n) in \Omega, u_i=0,\ i=1,2,. n on \partial \Omega \} where the degenerated p-Laplacian defined as \Delta _{P,p}u=div [P(x) \nabla u ^{p-2}\nabla u] with p>1,p \neq 2 and P(x) is a weight function. We give some conditions for having the Maximum Principle for this system and then we prove the existence of positive weak solutions for the quasilinear system by using ``sub-super solutions method''.

A Gap Theorem For Complete Space-Like Hypersurface With Constant Scalar Curvature In Locally Symmetric Lorentz Spaces, Jiancheng Liu, Lin Wei

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let M^n be a complete space-like hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in locally symmetric Lorentz space N^{n+1}_1, S be the squared norm of the second fundamental form of M^n in N^{n+1}_1. In this paper, we obtain a gap property of S: if nP\leq \sup S\leq D(n,P) for some constants P and D(n, P), then either \sup S=nP and M^n is totally umbilical, or \sup S=D(n, P) and M^n has two distinct principal curvatures.

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We study both radical transversal and transversal lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds. We give examples, investigate the geometry of distributions and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the induced connection on these submanifolds to be metric connection. We also study totally contact umbilical radical transversal and transversal lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds and obtain a classification theorem for totally contact umbilical transversal lightlike submanifolds.

Chaos In Product Maps, Nedi̇m Deği̇rmenci̇, Şahi̇n Koçak

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We discuss how chaos conditions on maps carry over to their products. First we give a counterexample showing that the pro\-duct of two chaotic maps (in the sense of Devaney) need not be chaotic. We then remark that if two maps (or even one of them) exhibit sensitive dependence on initial conditions, so does their product; likewise, if two maps possess dense periodic points, so does their product. On the other side, the product of two topologically transitive maps need not be topologically transitive. We then give sufficient conditions under which the product of two chaotic maps is chaotic in …

On The Integrability Of Orthogonal Distributions In Poisson Manifolds, Daniel Fish, Serge Preston

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

We study conditions for the integrability of the distribution defined on a regular Poisson manifold as the orthogonal complement (with respect to some (pseudo)-Riemannian metric) to the tangent spaces of the leaves of a symplectic foliation. Examples of integrability and non-integrability of this distribution are provided.

Phase-Linking And The Perceived Motion During Off-Vertical Axis Rotation, Jan Holly, Scott Wood, Gin Mccollum

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

Human off-vertical axis rotation (OVAR) in the dark typically produces perceived motion about a cone, the amplitude of which changes as a function of frequency. This perception is commonly attributed to the fact that both the OVAR and the conical motion have a gravity vector that rotates about the subject. Little-known, however, is that this rotating-gravity explanation for perceived conical motion is inconsistent with basic observations about self-motion perception: (a) that the perceived vertical moves toward alignment with the gravito-inertial acceleration (GIA) and (b) that perceived translation arises from perceived linear acceleration, as derived from the portion of the GIA …

Hybridization And Postprocessing Techniques For Mixed Eigenfunctions, Bernardo Cockburn, Jay Gopalakrishnan, F. Li, Ngoc Cuong Nguyen, Jaume Peraire

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

We introduce hybridization and postprocessing techniques for the Raviart–Thomas approximation of second-order elliptic eigenvalue problems. Hybridization reduces the Raviart–Thomas approximation to a condensed eigenproblem. The condensed eigenproblem is nonlinear, but smaller than the original mixed approximation. We derive multiple iterative algorithms for solving the condensed eigenproblem and examine their interrelationships and convergence rates. An element-by-element postprocessing technique to improve accuracy of computed eigenfunctions is also presented. We prove that a projection of the error in the eigenspace approximation by the mixed method (of any order) superconverges and that the postprocessed eigenfunction approximations converge faster for smooth eigenfunctions. Numerical experiments using …

A Class Of Discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin Methods. Ii. Optimal Test Functions, Leszek Demkowicz, Jay Gopalakrishnan

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

We lay out a program for constructing discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin (DPG) schemes having test function spaces that are automatically computable to guarantee stability. Given a trial space, a DPG discretization using its optimal test space counterpart inherits stability from the well posedness of the undiscretized problem. Although the question of stable test space choice had attracted the attention of many previous authors, the novelty in our approach lies in the fact we identify a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) framework wherein test functions, arbitrarily close to the optimal ones, can be locally computed. The idea is presented abstractly and its feasibility illustrated through …

A Projection-Based Error Analysis Of Hdg Methods, Jay Gopalakrishnan, Bernardo Cockburn, Francisco-Javier Sayas

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

We introduce a new technique for the error analysis of hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) methods. The technique relies on the use of a new projection whose design is inspired by the form of the numerical traces of the methods. This renders the analysis of the projections of the discretization errors simple and concise. By showing that these projections of the errors are bounded in terms of the distance between the solution and its projection, our studies of influence of the stabilization parameter are reduced to local analyses of approximation by the projection. We illustrate the technique on a specific HDG …

A Class Of Discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin Methods. Part I: The Transport Equation, Leszek Demkowicz, Jay Gopalakrishnan

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

Considering a simple model transport problem, we present a new finite element method. While the new method fits in the class of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods, it differs from standard DG and streamline diffusion methods, in that it uses a space of discontinuous trial functions tailored for stability. The new method, unlike the older approaches, yields optimal estimates for the primal variable in both the element size h and polynomial degree p, and outperforms the standard upwind DG method.

On Residual Lifetimes Of K-Out-Of-N Systems With Nonidentical Components, Subhash C. Kochar, Maochao Xu

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

In this article, mixture representations of survival functions of residual lifetimes of k-out-of-n systems are obtained when the components are independent but not necessarily identically distributed. Then we stochastically compare the residual lifetimes of k-out-of-n systems in one- and two-sample problems. In particular, the results extend some results in Li and Zhao [14], Khaledi and Shaked [13], Sadegh [17], Gurler and Bairamov [7] and Navarro, Balakrishnan, and Samaniego [16]. Applications in the proportional hazard rates model are presented as well.
