Wang Tilings In Arbitrary Dimensions, Ian Tassin
Wang Tilings In Arbitrary Dimensions, Ian Tassin
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
This paper makes a new observation about arbitrary dimensional Wang Tilings,
demonstrating that any d -dimensional tile set that can tile periodically along d − 1 axes must be able to tile periodically along all axes.
This work also summarizes work on Wang Tiles up to the present day, including
definitions for various aspects of Wang Tilings such as periodicity and the validity of a tiling. Additionally, we extend the familiar 2D definitions for Wang Tiles and associated properties into arbitrary dimensional spaces. While there has been previous discussion of arbitrary dimensional Wang Tiles in other works, it has been …

Algorithmic Design And Computational Modeling Using Dynamic Spectrum Allocation Techniques To Optimize Bandwidth Management In Wireless Communication Systems, Ankit Walishetti
Distinguished Student Work
This study aims to address the pressing need for efficient spectrum management methodologies in wireless communication systems by developing innovative sorting and allocation algorithms. Leveraging Dynamic Spectrum Allocation (DSA) techniques, this research devises strategies to optimize the utilization of bandwidth within existing spectrum space, ultimately reducing the need for network infrastructure expansion.
Ensuring thorough coverage of DSA techniques, 5 distinct transmitter sorting algorithms were programmed and tested across 8 performance metrics designed to measure specific capabilities. For consistency, a single bandwidth allocation program was designed to ‘pack’ transmitters starting from the left endpoint of the spectrum space. Progressively varying the …

Combinatorial Results For Semigroups Of Orientation-Preserving Transformations, Ayşegül Dağdevi̇ren, Gonca Ayik
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
Let Xn denote the chain {1, 2, . . . , n} under its natural order. We denote the semigroups consisting of all order-preserving transformations and all orientation-preserving transformations on Xn by On and OPn , respectively. We denote by E(U) the set of all idempotents of a subset U of a semigroup S . In this paper, we first determine the cardinalities of Er(On) = {α ∈ E(On) : |im(α)| = |fix(α)| = r}, E ∗ r (On) = {α ∈ Er(On) : 1, n ∈ fix(α)}, Er(OPn) = {α ∈ E(OPn) : |fix(α)| = r}, E ∗ r …

Langevin Delayed Equations With Prabhakar Derivatives Involving Two Generalized Fractional Distinct Orders, Mustafa Aydin
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
This paper is devoted to defining the delayed analogue of the Mittag-Leffler type function with three parameters and investigating a representation of a solution to Langevin delayed equations with Prabhakar derivatives involving two generalized fractional distinct orders, which are first introduced and investigated, by means of the Laplace integral transform. It is verified by showing the solution satisfies the introduced system. Special cases which are also novel are presented as examples. The findings are illustrated with the help of the RLC circuits.

On The Oscillation And Asymptotic Behavior Of Solutions Of Third Order Nonlineardifferential Equations With Mixed Nonlinear Neutral Terms, Shaimaa Salem, Mohamed M. A. El-Sheikh, Ahmed Mohamed Hassan
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
This paper is concerned with the oscillation and asymptotic behavior of solutions of third-order nonlinear neutral differential equations with a middle term and mixed nonlinear neutral terms in the case of the canonical operator. We establish several oscillation criteria that guarantee that all solutions are oscillatory or converge to zero. The given results are obtained by applying the comparison method, the Riccati transformation and the integral averaging technique. The results improve significantly and extend existing ones in the literature. Finally, illustrative examples are given.

An Extension Of The Definition On The Compositions Of The Singular Distributions, Emi̇n Özçağ
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
Gelfand and Shilov give the definition of the composition δ(g(x)) for an infinitely differentiable function g(x) having any number of simple roots. In the paper, we consider their definition for an infinitely differentiable function having any number of multiple roots by using the method of the discarding of unwanted infinite quantities from asymptotic expansions and give some examples. Further, we define the compositions δ(g+) and δ(g−) for a locally summable function g(x).

Using the coincidence degree theory of Mawhin and constructing appropriate operators, we investigate the existence of solutions to Hadamard fractional differential equations (FRDEs) at resonance { − (HDγu ) (t) = f(t, u(t)), t ∈ (1, e), u(1) = 0, u(e) = ∫ e 1 u(t)dA(t), where 1 < γ < 2, f : [1, e]×R2 → R satisfies Carathéodory conditions, ∫ e 1 u(t)dA(t) is the Riemann–Stieltjes integration, and (HDγu ) is the Hadamard fractional derivation of u of order γ . An example is included to illustrate our result.
Lightcone Framed Curves In The Lorentz-Minkowski 3-Space, Liang Chen, Masatomo Takahashi
Lightcone Framed Curves In The Lorentz-Minkowski 3-Space, Liang Chen, Masatomo Takahashi
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
For a nonlightlike nondegenerate regular curve, we have the arc-length parameter and the Frenet-Serret type formula by using a moving frame like a regular space curve in the Euclidean space. If a point of the curve moves between spacelike and timelike regions, then there is a lightlike point. In this paper, we consider mixed types of not only regular curves but also curves with singular points. In order to consider mixed type of curves with singular points, we introduce a frame, so-called the lightcone frame, and lightcone framed curves. We investigate differential geometric properties of lightcone framed curves.

Our main aim in the current study is to examine the mathematical properties of a generalized 2-component Camassa-Holm system with a weakly dissipative term. Firstly, we acquire the theorem of well-posedness in locally for the generalized system with weak dissipation. Then, we demonstrate that this system can reveal the blow-up phenomenon. Finally, we acquire the theorem of global existence utilizing a method of the Lyapunov function.

Timelike Surfaces With Parallel Normalized Mean Curvature Vector Field In The Minkowski 4-Space, Victoria Bencheva, Velichka Milousheva
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In the present paper, we study timelike surfaces with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field in the four-dimensional Minkowski space. We introduce special isotropic parameters on each such surface, which we call canonical parameters, and prove a fundamental existence and uniqueness theorem stating that each timelike surface with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field is determined up to a rigid motion in the Minkowski space by three geometric functions satisfying a system of three partial differential equations. In this way, we minimize the number of functions and the number of partial differential equations determining the surface, thus solving the Lund-Regge …

Strongly I-Bicritical Graphs, Michelle Edwards, Gary Macgillivray, Shahla Nasserasr
Theory and Applications of Graphs
A graph $G$ is \emph{strongly $i$-bicritical} if it has independent domination number $i(G) \geq 3$, and $i(G - \{x, y\}) = i(G) - 2$ whenever $x$ and $y$ are two non-adjacent vertices of $G$. We describe five constructions of strongly $i$-bicritical graphs. For four of them, necessary and sufficient conditions for the graph produced by the construction to be strongly $i$-bicritical are given. The strongly $i$-bicritical graphs with independent domination number $i(G) = 3$ are characterized, and it is shown that the strongly $i$-bicritical graphs with independent domination number $i(G) \geq 5$ may be hard to characterize. It is shown …

Construction Of Normal Polynomials Using Composition Of Polynomials Over Finite Fields Of Odd Characteristic, Shalini Gupta, Manpreet Singh, Rozy Sharma
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
A monic irreducible polynomial is known as a normal polynomial if its roots are linearly independent over Galois field. Normal polynomials over finite fields and their significance have been studied quite well. Normal polynomials have applications in different fields such as computer science, number theory, finite geometry, cryptography and coding theory. Several authors have given different algorithms for the construction of normal polynomials. In the present paper, we discuss the construction of the normal polynomials over finite fields of prime characteristic by using the method of composition of polynomials.
Why Pavement Cracks Are Mostly Longitudinal, Sometimes Transversal, And Rarely Of Other Directions: A Geometric Explanation, Edgar Daniel Rodriguez Velasquez, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
Why Pavement Cracks Are Mostly Longitudinal, Sometimes Transversal, And Rarely Of Other Directions: A Geometric Explanation, Edgar Daniel Rodriguez Velasquez, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
In time, pavements deteriorate, and need maintenance. One of the most typical pavement faults are cracks. Empirically, the most frequent cracks are longitudinal, i.e., following the direction of the road; less frequent are transversal cracks, which are orthogonal to the direction of the road. Sometimes, there are cracks in different directions, but such cracks are much rarer. In this paper, we show that simple geometric analysis and fundamental physical ideas can explain these observed relative frequencies.

Fuzzy Software Reliability And Optimal Release Policy With Log-Logistic Testing Effort: An Analysis, Seema Rani, Jitendra Kumar, N. Ahmad
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
We will discuss a Software Reliability Growth Model (SRGM) using fuzzy and imperfect debugging environments; we integrate Log-Logistic (LL) Testing Effort Function (TEF) into fuzzy SRGMs. Estimation methods, such as Least Square and Maximum Likelihood, are used to obtain the value of Testing-Effort and SRGMs parameters. It is not always possible and is constantly required to quantify the exact value of parameters. Due to human conduct, the value of Testing-Effort and SRGM parameters cannot be exactly quantified. In this scenario, parameters are supposed to be vague or fuzzy. To make the software consistent, the developer needs to propose some quantity …

On Constructions Of Maximum Distance Separable Pascal-Like Rhotrices Over Finite Fields, Neetu Dhiman, Mansi Harish, Shalini Gupta, Arun Chauhan
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
Cryptography and coding theory are the important areas where Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) matrices are used extensively. The Pascal matrix plays vital role in combinatorics, matrix theory and its properties provide interesting combinatorial identities. Pascal matrices also have a wide range of applications in cryptography. In this paper, we define Pascal-like rhotrix, and further, we construct MDS Pascal-like rhotrices over finite fields.
Some Generalizations Of Corona Product Of Two Graphs, Aparajita Borah, Gajendra Pratap Singh
Some Generalizations Of Corona Product Of Two Graphs, Aparajita Borah, Gajendra Pratap Singh
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper we are seeking to conceptualize the notion of corona product of two graphs to contrive some special types of graphs. That is, here our attempt is to regenerate a familiar graph as a product graph. We are considering seven familiar graphs here to reconstruct them with the help of corona product of two graphs. Such types of families of the graphs and operations can be used to study biological pathways as well as to find the optimal order and size for the special types of graphs.

The main aim of the present research is to reduce the temperature at the surface of the hot cylinder. 2) Methods: In this research, we simulated lithium battery thermal management systems in both steady …
Machine Learning Application Of Generalized Gaussian Radial Basis Function And Its Reproducing Kernel Theory, Himanshu Singh
Machine Learning Application Of Generalized Gaussian Radial Basis Function And Its Reproducing Kernel Theory, Himanshu Singh
Math Faculty Publications and Presentations
Gaussian Radial Basis Function Kernels are the most-often-employed kernel function in artificial intelligence for providing the optimal results in contrast to their respective counterparts. However, our understanding surrounding the utilization of the Generalized Gaussian Radial Basis Function across different machine learning algorithms, such as kernel regression, support vector machines, and pattern recognition via neural networks is incomplete. The results delivered by the Generalized Gaussian Radial Basis Function Kernel in the previously mentioned applications remarkably outperforms those of the Gaussian Radial Basis Function Kernel, the Sigmoid function, and the ReLU function in terms of accuracy and misclassification. This article provides a …

Why Two Fish Follow Each Other But Three Fish Form A School: A Symmetry-Based Explanation, Shahnaz Shahbazova, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
Why Two Fish Follow Each Other But Three Fish Form A School: A Symmetry-Based Explanation, Shahnaz Shahbazova, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
Recent experiments with fish has shown an unexpected strange behavior: when two fish of the same species are placed in an aquarium, they start following each other, while when three fish are placed there, they form (approximately) an equilateral triangle, and move in the direction (approximately) orthogonal to this triangle. In this paper, we use natural symmetries -- such as rotations, shifts, and permutation of fish -- to show that this observed behavior is actually optimal. This behavior is not just optimal with respect to one specific optimality criterion, it is optimal with respect to any optimality criterion -- as …
