Infinitely Many Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds Which Contain No Reebless Foliation, R. Roberts, J. Shareshian, Melanie Stein
Infinitely Many Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds Which Contain No Reebless Foliation, R. Roberts, J. Shareshian, Melanie Stein
Faculty Scholarship
We investigate group actions on simply-connected (second countable but not necessarily Hausdorff) 1-manifolds and describe an infinite family of closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds whose fundamental groups do not act nontrivially on such 1-manifolds. As a corollary we conclude that these 3-manifolds contain no Reebless foliation. In fact, these arguments extend to actions on oriented -order trees and hence these 3-manifolds contain no transversely oriented essential lamination; in particular, they are non-Haken.

Certain Pattern Recognition Tasks For Data Mining Problems., Pabitra Mitra Dr.
Certain Pattern Recognition Tasks For Data Mining Problems., Pabitra Mitra Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Pattern recognition (PR) is an activity that we humans normally excel in. We do it almost all the time, and without conscious effort. We receive information via our various sensory organs, which is processed instantaneously by our brain so that, almost immediately, we are able to identify the source of the information, without having made any perceptible effort. What is even more impressive is the accuracy with which we can perform recognition tasks even under non-ideal conditions, for instance, when the information that needs to be processed is vague, imprecise or even incomplete. In fact, most of our day-to-day activities …

On The Approximability Of Linear Ordering And Related Np-Optimization Problems., Sounaka Mishra Dr.
Doctoral Theses
We investigate approximability of both maximum and minimum linear ordering problems (MAX-LOP and MIN-LOP) and several related problems such as the well known feedback set problems, acyclie subdigraph problem and several others and their variants.We show that both MAX-LOP and MIN-LOP are strongly NP-complete, and MIN- LOP, MIN-QAP(S) (a special case of minimum quadratic assignment problem) and MIN-W-FAS are equivalent with respect to strict-reduction. The strict-equivalence is also established among these problems as well as MIN-W-FVS, with weights on arcs/vertices bounded by a polynomial, and the unweighted versions of the feedback set. problems. We also show that MAX-LOP is strict-equivalent …

Deformation Theory Of Dialgebras., Anita Majumdar Dr.
Doctoral Theses
The main objective of this thesis is to develop an algebraic deformation theury for associative dialgebras, which are binary quadratic algebras discovered by J.-L. Loday in (16). (17), and subisequently, to derive a G-algebra siructure ou the dialgebra colhomology with cocfticients in itself.Deformation theory dates back at Ieast to Riemann's 1837 memoir on alelian fianetions in which he studied IHanifolds of complex dimension one and calculated the mumber of parameters (called moduli) upon which a deformation depends. The modern theory of deformations of structures on manifolds was developed extensively ly Frolicher-Kodaira-Nijenhnis-Nirenberg-Spencer (13], [14], [15). [25|, [26).The study of deformations of …

Spectral Triples And Metric Aspects Of Geometry On Some Noncommutative Spaces., Partha Sarathi Chakraborty Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Quantization of mathematical theories is now more than half a century old idea in mathe- matics. It goes back to Gelfand-Naimarks seminal paper [37] in 1943. As the name suggests noncommutative geometry is the quantization" of differential geometry. It is the study of noncommutative algebras as if they were algebras of functions on spaces like the commuta- tive algebras associated to affine algebraic varieties, smooth manifolds, topological spaces. One can trace its roots in the Gelfand-Naimark theorems (1943, 37]). In modern terminol- ogy their theorem says there is an antiequivalence between the category of (locally) compact Hausdorff spaces and (proper, …
Bounding The Number Of Graphs Containing Very Long Induced Paths, Steven Kay Butler
Bounding The Number Of Graphs Containing Very Long Induced Paths, Steven Kay Butler
Theses and Dissertations
Induced graphs are used to describe the structure of a graph, one such type of induced graph that has been studied are long paths.
In this thesis we show a way to represent such graphs in terms of an array with two colors and a labeled graph. Using this representation and the techniques of Polya counting we will then be able to get upper and lower bounds for graphs containing a long path as an induced subgraph.
In particular, if we let P(n,k) be the number of graphs on n+k vertices which contains P_n, a path on n vertices, as …
The Cohomology Of The Steendrod Algebra And Representations Of The General Linear Groups, Nguyen H. V. Hu'ng
The Cohomology Of The Steendrod Algebra And Representations Of The General Linear Groups, Nguyen H. V. Hu'ng
Mathematics Research Reports
Let Tr_k be the algebraic transfer that maps from the coinvariants of certain GL_k-representation to the cohomology of the Steenrod algebra. This transfer was defined by W. Singer as an algebraic version of the geometrical transfer tr_k : pi_*^S((B[doublestrike V]_k)_+) --> pi_*^S(S^0). It has been shown that the algebraic transfer is highly nontrivial, more precisely, that Tr_k is an isomorphism for k = 1, 2, 3 and that T_r = ⊕_k(Tr_k) is a homomorphism of algebras.
In this paper, we first recognize the phenomenon that if we start from any degree d, and apply Sq^0 repeatedly at most (k- 2) …
Designing Radiotherapy Plans With Elastic Constraints And Interior Point Methods, Allen G. Holder
Designing Radiotherapy Plans With Elastic Constraints And Interior Point Methods, Allen G. Holder
Mathematics Faculty Research
A new linear programming model used to aid in the design of radiotherapy plans is introduced. This model incorporates elastic constraints, and when solved with a path following interior point method, produces favorable plans. A sound mathematical analysis shows how to interpret the solution, and hence, the treatment planner receives meaningful knowledge about the radiotherapy plan being developed. Preliminary experiments are conducted.
A Sign-Changing Solution For A Superlinear Dirichlet Problem, Ii, Alfonso Castro, Pavel Drabek, John M. Neuberger
A Sign-Changing Solution For A Superlinear Dirichlet Problem, Ii, Alfonso Castro, Pavel Drabek, John M. Neuberger
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
In previous work by Castro, Cossio, and Neuberger [2], it was shown that a superlinear Dirichlet problem has at least three nontrivial solutions when the derivative of the nonlinearity at zero is less than the first eigenvalue of -Δ with zero Dirichlet boundry condition. One of these solutions changes sign exactly-once and the other two are of one sign. In this paper we show that when this derivative is between the k-th and k+1-st eigenvalues there still exists a solution which changes sign at most k times. In particular, when k=1 the sign-changing exactly-once solution persists although one-sign solutions no …
Consensus-Halving Via Theorems Of Borsuk-Ulam And Tucker, Forrest W. Simmons, Francis E. Su
Consensus-Halving Via Theorems Of Borsuk-Ulam And Tucker, Forrest W. Simmons, Francis E. Su
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
In this paper we show how theorems of Borsuk-Ulam and Tucker can be used to construct a consensus-halving: a division of an object into two portions so that each of n people believes the portions are equal. Moreover, the division takes at most n cuts, which is best possible. This extends prior work using methods from combinatorial topology to solve fair division problems. Several applications of consensus-halving are discussed.
Noise-Induced Unstable Dimension Variability And Transition To Chaos In Random Dynamical Systems, Ying-Cheng Lai, Zonghua Liu, Lora Billings, Ira B. Schwartz
Noise-Induced Unstable Dimension Variability And Transition To Chaos In Random Dynamical Systems, Ying-Cheng Lai, Zonghua Liu, Lora Billings, Ira B. Schwartz
Department of Mathematics Facuty Scholarship and Creative Works
Results are reported concerning the transition to chaos in random dynamical systems. In particular, situations are considered where a periodic attractor coexists with a nonattracting chaotic saddle, which can be expected in any periodic window of a nonlinear dynamical system. Under noise, the asymptotic attractor of the system can become chaotic, as characterized by the appearance of a positive Lyapunov exponent. Generic features of the transition include the following: (1) the noisy chaotic attractor is necessarily nonhyperbolic as there are periodic orbits embedded in it with distinct numbers of unstable directions (unstable dimension variability), and this nonhyperbolicity develops as soon …

Stage Based Interventions For Low Fat Diet With Middle School Students, Marilyn Frenn, Shelly Malin, Naveen K. Bansal
College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications
Preventing obesity and cardiovascular disease at early ages is important; however, few effective interventions for early adolescents have been reported. In this study, low-income, culturally diverse students from an urban middle school (n = 60) received four classroom interventions with the use of a combined Health Promotion/Transtheoretical Model to control fat in diet and increase physical activity. A control group (n = 57) received the usual classroom education. Pretest percentage fat in diet was regressed on demographics, access to low-fat foods, perceived self-efficacy, benefits/barriers, and stage of change with results as proposed by the model [F(9,64) …
Closed-Loop Control Of Vortex Shedding By Means Of Lorentz Force, Xiaoyun Sun
Closed-Loop Control Of Vortex Shedding By Means Of Lorentz Force, Xiaoyun Sun
Dissertations
When an incompressible fluid flows past a circular cylinder, vortex shedding occurs as soon as the Reynolds number exceeds about 40. Vortex shedding is usually undesirable, as it generates a significant increase in drag, as well an oscillating lift force on the cylinder leading to cross-stream structural vibrations. Flow control to either delay the appearance of vortex shedding or fully suppress it has attracted much attention during the last decade. The focus of this dissertation is to control vortex shedding from a circular cylinder by applying an external electromagnetic field. As in previous works, the latter is generated by electrodes …

This paper answers a question of Jan J. Dijkstra by giving a proof that all three-point sets are zero dimensional. It is known that all two-point sets are zero dimensional, and it is known that for all n > 3, there are n-point sets which are not zero dimensional, so this paper answers the question for the last remaining case.

A high precision measurement of the transverse spin-dependent asymmetry AT' in 3He→(e,e') quasielastic scattering was performed in Hall A at Jefferson Lab at values of the squared four-momentum transfer, Q2, between 0.1 and 0.6 (GeV/c)2.AT' is sensitive to the neutron magnetic form factor, GnM. Values of GnM at Q2=0.1 and 0.2(GeV/c)2, extracted using Faddeev calculations, were reported previously. Here, we report the extraction of GnM for the remaining Q2 values in the range from 0.3 to 0.6(GeV/c)2 using a …

We show that the topological structure of a compact, locally smooth orbifold is determined by its orbifold diffeomorphism group. Let DiffrOrb (O) denote the Cr orbifold diffeomorphisms of an orbifold O. Suppose that Φ: DiffrOrb(O1) → DiffrOrb (O2) is a group isomorphism between the the orbifold diffeomorphism groups of two orbifolds O1 and O2. We show that Φ is induced by a homeomorphism h: XO1 → XO2 , where XO denotes the underlying topological …

Deductive Mathematics: An Introduction To Proof And Discovery For Mathematics Education, Andrew Wohlgemuth
Deductive Mathematics: An Introduction To Proof And Discovery For Mathematics Education, Andrew Wohlgemuth
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Scholarship
Mathematics has two fundamental aspects: (1) discovery/logical deduction and (2) description/ computation. Discovery/deductive mathematics asks the questions:
1. What is true about this thing being studied?
2. How do we know it is true?
On the other hand, descriptive/computational mathematics asks questions of the type:
3. What is the particular number, function, and so on, that satisfies ... ?
4. How can we find the number, function, and so on?
In descriptive/computational mathematics, some pictorial, physical, or business situation is described mathematically, and then computational techniques are applied to the mathematical description, in order to find values of interest. The …

Fixed Points Of Holomorphic Mappings For Domains In Banach Spaces, Lawrence A. Harris
Fixed Points Of Holomorphic Mappings For Domains In Banach Spaces, Lawrence A. Harris
Mathematics Faculty Publications
We discuss the Earle-Hamilton fixed-point theorem and show how it can be applied when restrictions are known on the numerical range of a holomorphic function. In particular, we extend the Earle-Hamilton theorem to holomorphic functions with numerical range having real part strictly less than 1. We also extend the Lumer-Phillips theorem estimating resolvents to dissipative holomorphic functions.

Sabbaticals
The purpose of my sabbatical work was to learn about resources related to mathematics and art, nature, music and architecture. These subjects appeal to a wide audience, yet their mathematical connections are often on the periphery of a mathematics student's studies. In this way I planned to increase my knowledge of mathematics but at the same time broaden my understanding of cross-disciplinary subjects.

We designed and constructed a sundial for the purpose of observing the declination of the sun and thus marking solar seasonal variation. The 122 × 122 cm vertical sundial on the south-facing wall of our library has two unusual features: a nodus on the gnomon that casts a shadow of a point for marking the height of the sun and a large blank working space for students to mark the shadow of the nodus at different hours of the day and to connect the marks of 1 day in a line of declination. We discuss the design of a dial …
