Self-Similar Measures Associated To {Ifs} With Non-Uniform Contraction Ratios, Sze-Man Ngai, Yang Wang
Self-Similar Measures Associated To {Ifs} With Non-Uniform Contraction Ratios, Sze-Man Ngai, Yang Wang
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
In this paper we study the absolute continuity of self-similar measures defined by iterated function systems (IFS) whose contraction ratios are not uniform. We introduce a transversality condition for a multi-parameter family of IFS and study the absolute continuity of the corresponding self-similar measures. Our study is a natural extension of the study of Bernoulli convolutions by Solomyak, Peres, et al.
Factoring Higher-Dimensional Shifts Of Finite Type Onto The Full Shift, Aimee S.A. Johnson, K. Madden
Factoring Higher-Dimensional Shifts Of Finite Type Onto The Full Shift, Aimee S.A. Johnson, K. Madden
Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Works
A one-dimensional shift of finite type with entropy at least log factors onto the full -shift. The factor map is constructed by exploiting the fact that , or a subshift of , is conjugate to a shift of finite type in which every symbol can be followed by at least symbols. We will investigate analogous statements for higher-dimensional shifts of finite type. We will also show that for a certain class of mixing higher-dimensional shifts of finite type, sufficient entropy implies that is finitely equivalent to a shift of finite type that maps onto the full -shift.

Book Review: Across The Board: The Mathematics Of Chessboard Problems By John J. Watkins, Arthur T. Benjamin

I think I became a mathematician because I loved to play games as a child. I learned about probability and expectation by playing games like backgammon, bridge, and Risk. But I experienced the greater thrill of careful deductive reasoning through games like Mastermind and chess. In fact, for many years I took the game of chess quite seriously and played in many tournaments. But I gave up the game when I started college and turned my attention to more serious pursuits, like learning real mathematics.

Self And On-Selfadjoint Sturm-Liouville Operators With Exponentially Decaying Potentials, Alain Kerouanton
Self And On-Selfadjoint Sturm-Liouville Operators With Exponentially Decaying Potentials, Alain Kerouanton
Doctoral
In this thesis we investigate the properties of a class of linear differential operators known as Sturm-Liouville operators. Sturm-Liouville operators arise from differential equations of the form - y”+q(x)y = λy, where q is known as the potential and λ is a spectral parameter. This differential equation has been of great importance in mathematics and physics alike. We allow the potential to be real or complex valued and assume that q satisfies |q(x)|≤ce-ax, x≥0, where a >0 and c > 0. We first give a brief account of the mathematical background we will be using and then proceed to give a …

Influences Of Surfactant On The Breakup Of A Fluid Jet In Viscous Surrounding, Muhammad Irfan Hameed
Influences Of Surfactant On The Breakup Of A Fluid Jet In Viscous Surrounding, Muhammad Irfan Hameed
Dissertations
The effect of insoluble surfactant on the breakup of a fluid jet surrounded by another viscous fluid at low Reynolds number is studied both theoretically and experimentally. Equations governing the evolution of the interface and surfactant concentration are derived using a long wavelength approximation for the case of an inviscid jet and a slightly viscous jet surrounded by a more viscous fluid. These one dimensional partial differential equations governing the evolution of the slender jet are solved numerically for given initial interfacial perturbations and surfactant concentration. It is found that the presence of insoluble surfactant at the interface retards the …
Theory And Algorithms For Swept Manifold Intersections, Yuriy Mileyko
Theory And Algorithms For Swept Manifold Intersections, Yuriy Mileyko
Dissertations
Recent developments in such fields as computer aided geometric design, geometric modeling, and computational topology have generated a spate of interest towards geometric objects called swept volumes. Besides their great applicability in various practical areas, the mere geometry and topology of these entities make them a perfect testbed for novel approaches aimed at analyzing and representing geometric objects. The structure of swept volumes reveals that it is also important to focus on a little simpler, although a very similar type of objects - swept manifolds. In particular, effective computability of swept manifold intersections is of major concern.

Electromagnetic And Acoustic Propagation In Strip Lines And Porous Media, Lin Zhou
Electromagnetic And Acoustic Propagation In Strip Lines And Porous Media, Lin Zhou
Dissertations
Wave propagation in two physical structures is described and analyzed in this dissertation. In the first problem, the propagation of a normally incident plane acoustic wave through a three dimensional rigid slab with periodically placed holes is modeled and analyzed. The spacing of the holes A and B, the wavelength λ and the thickness of the slab L are order one parameters compared to the characteristic size D of the holes, which is a small quantity. Scattering matrix techniques are used to derive expressions for the transmission and reflection coefficients of the lowest mode. These expressions depend only on the …
The Control Of Frequency Of A Conditional Oscillator Simultaneously Subjected To Multiple Oscillatory Inputs, Christina L. Ambrosio
The Control Of Frequency Of A Conditional Oscillator Simultaneously Subjected To Multiple Oscillatory Inputs, Christina L. Ambrosio
Dissertations
A conditional oscillator is one that requires input to oscillate. An example of such is the gastric mill network of the stomatogastric ganglion of the crab Cancer borealis which requires modulatory input from outside the stomatogastric ganglion and fast input from the pyloric network of the animal in order to become active. This dissertation studies how the frequency of the gastric mill network is determined when it is simultaneously subjected to two different rhythmic inputs whose timing may be mismatched. We derive a mathematical model of the gastric mill network and deduce that the difference in timing between the pyloric …
The Lie Symmetries Of A Few Classes Of Harmonic Functions, Willis L. Petersen
The Lie Symmetries Of A Few Classes Of Harmonic Functions, Willis L. Petersen
Theses and Dissertations
In a differential geometry setting, we can analyze the solutions to systems of differential equations in such a way as to allow us to derive entire classes of solutions from any given solution. This process involves calculating the Lie symmetries of a system of equations and looking at the resulting transformations. In this paper we will give a general background of the theory necessary to develop the ideas of working in the jet space of a given system of equations, applying this theory to harmonic functions in the complex plane. We will consider harmonic functions in general, harmonic functions with …
Hopf Bifurcations And Horseshoes Especially Applied To The Brusselator, Steven R. Jones
Hopf Bifurcations And Horseshoes Especially Applied To The Brusselator, Steven R. Jones
Theses and Dissertations
In this paper we explore bifurcations, in particular the Hopf bifurcation. We study this especially in connection with the Brusselator, which is a model of certain chemical reaction-diffusion systems. After a thorough exploration of what a bifurcation is and what classifications there are, we give graphic representations of an occurring Hopf bifurcation in the Brusselator. When an additional forcing term is added, behavior changes dramatically. This includes the introduction of a horseshoe in the time map as well as a strange attractor in the system.
Endomorphism Rings Of Finite Global Dimension, Graham J. Leuschke
Endomorphism Rings Of Finite Global Dimension, Graham J. Leuschke
Mathematics - All Scholarship
For a commutative local ring R, consider (noncommutative) R-algebras lamda of the form lamda = End R(M) where M is a reflexive R-module with nonzero free direct summand. Such algebras lamda of finite global dimension can be viewed as potential substitutes for, or analogues of, a resolution of singularities of Spec R. For example, Van den Bergh has shown that a three-dimensional Gorenstein normal C-algebra with isolated terminal singularities has a crepant resolution of singularities if and only if it has such an algebra lamda with finite global dimension and which is maximal Cohen–Macaulay over R (a “noncommutative crepant resolution …

General Existence Principles For Nonlocal Boundary Value Problems With Ø-Laplacian And Their Applications, Ravi P. Agarwal, Donal O'Regan, Svatoslav Staněk
Mathematics and System Engineering Faculty Publications
The paper presents general existence principles which can be used for a large class of nonlocal boundary value problems of the form (ø(x′)) ′ = f1(t,x,x′) + f2(t,x,x′)F 1X + f3(t,x,x′)f2x,α(x) = 0, β(x) = 0, where fj satisfy local Carathéodory conditions on some [0,T] × Dj ⊂ ℝ, fj are either regular or have singularities in their phase variables (j = 1,2,3), f i, : C1[0.T] → C0[0,T] (i = 1,2), and α,β : C1[0.T] → ℝ are continuous. The proofs are based on the Leray-Schauder degree theory and use regularization and sequential techniques. Applications of general existence principles …

Measuring Inter-Rater Agreement Among Pathologists In Cancer Screening Studies, Krystle S. Oates
Measuring Inter-Rater Agreement Among Pathologists In Cancer Screening Studies, Krystle S. Oates
Electronic Dissertations and Theses
Although cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer in the United States, it still remains the leading cause of cancer mortality in El Salvador. This is attributed to poor cancer screening in El Salvador. The Pap smear test is the traditional screening method that pathologists use for the direction of cervical cancer in women, but the Thin Prep test is said to be an improvement to the Prep smear test. In this project, we will use the data from pathologists in the United States and El Salvador who analyzed the slides of 471 Salvadoran women who …

Textbook authors admonish students to check on the comparability of two randomly assigned groups by conducting statistical tests on pretest means to determine if randomization worked. A Monte Carlo study was conducted on a sample of n = 2 per group, where each participant’s personality profile was represented by 7,500 randomly selected and assigned scores. Independent samples t tests were conducted and the results demonstrated that random assignment was successful in equating the two groups on 7,467 variables. The students’ focus is redirected from the ability of random assignment to create comparable groups to the testing of the claims of …

Fréchet Subdifferential Calculus And Optimality Conditions In Nondifferentiable Programming, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Nguyen Mau Nam, N. D. Yen
Mathematics Research Reports
We develop various (exact) calculus rules for Frechet lower and upper subgradients of extended-realvalued functions in general Banach spaces. Then we apply this calculus to derive new necessary optimality conditions for some remarkable classes of problems in constrained optimization including minimization problems for difference-type functions under geometric and operator constraints as well as subdifferential optimality conditions for the so-called weak sharp minima.

A Bayesian wavelet estimation method for estimating parameters of a stationary I(d) process is represented as an useful alternative to the existing frequentist wavelet estimation methods. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through Monte Carlo simulations. The sampling from the posterior distribution is through the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) easily implemented in the WinBUGS software package.

The Convergence Of Difference Boxes, Antonio Behn, Christopher Kribs-Zaleta, Vadim Ponomarenko
The Convergence Of Difference Boxes, Antonio Behn, Christopher Kribs-Zaleta, Vadim Ponomarenko
Mathematics Faculty Research
We consider an elementary mathematical puzzle known as a "difference box" in terms of a discrete map from R4 to R4 or, canonically, from a subset of the first quadrant of R2 into itself. We find the map's unique canonical fixed point and answer the general question of how many iterations a given "difference box" takes to reach zero.
Wavelet Factorization Via A Homogenization Analogy For Solutions Of Linear Systems, Andrea Van Sickle
Wavelet Factorization Via A Homogenization Analogy For Solutions Of Linear Systems, Andrea Van Sickle
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
A system of linear equations can be solved using a factorization method that produces a wavelet structure and is akin to a homogenization process used in determining the solution of differential equations. The method is dependant on the particular structure of Hadamard matrices and their implementation in a similarity transform. This paper details the development of such a method for systems of size 2n x 2n, including establishing the theoretical underpinnings necessary to define an orthogonal transform. Also, we present the development of an algorithm to implement the method for a simple 2 x 2 system, which will then be …

Simulation Study Of Estimation And Inference In Factor Analysis: Normal And Non-Normal Noise Distributions, Ping Zhang
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Objective: To study the estimation and inference m factor analyses when the data have normal or non-normal noise distributions.
Methods: Population data were created in package R with a specified number of factors, factor structure and observable variables with known loadings. Then, repeated simple random samples (SRS's) were taken from the population, independently. The maximum likelihood method with varimax rotation was used to perform factor analysis and inference on each sampled dataset. Factor loadings were estimated to determine if the estimation of the loadings was (approximately) unbiased and/or efficient for each specified population and chi-square x2-statistics were obtained to test …

Special Classification Models For Lichens In The Pacific Northwest, Janeen Ardito
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
A common problem in ecological studies is that of determining where to look for rare species. This paper shows how statistical models, such as classification trees, may be used to assist in the design of probability-based surveys for rare species using information on more abundant species that are associated with the rare species. This model assisted approach to survey design involves first building models for the more abundant species. The models are then used to determine stratifications for the rare species that are associated with the more abundant species. The goal of this approach is to increase the number of …
