Jumping Frogs On Cyclic Graphs, Jake Mitchell

Honors College Theses

From the traditional game of Solitaire to modern video games like Candy Crush and Five Nights at Freddy’s, single-player games have captivated audiences for gener- ations. We investigate a lesser-known single-player game, the Jumping Frogs problem, on various classes of simple graphs, a graph with no multiple edges or looped ver- tices. We determine whether frogs can be stacked together on one vertex of a given graph. In a graph with k vertices and one frog on each vertex, the frogs must make legal jumps to form a stack of k frogs. The problem is known to be solvable on …

1324-Avoiding (0,1)-Matrices, Megan Bennett

Mathematics Colloquium Series

A 1324-avoiding (0,1)-matrix is an 𝑚×𝑛 matrix that does not contain the 1324-pattern. Our goal is to find the maximum number of 1’s that an 𝑚 × 𝑛 1324-avoiding (0,1)-matrix can contain. We build upon Brualdi and Cao’s recent work, where they characterized the 𝑚 × 𝑛 1234-avoiding matrices with the maximum number of 1’s. They found that these matrices can contain up to 3(𝑚 + 𝑛 − 3) 1’s. We originally conjectured that 1324-avoiding matrices must contain at most the same number of 1’s, as is the case with the six patterns formed by permutations of {1,2,3}. However, we …

The Negative Stigma Surrounding Mathematics, Marissa A. Greisen

PSU McNair Scholars Online Journal

There is a negative stigma that surrounds mathematics in our education system. It is important to bring notice to this for the benefit of future students. There is a lot of research claiming that math is looked down on, but they do not answer why, or what we can do to fix it. Why is there a greater negative stigma around math and not other subjects? What roles to teachers, parents, and peers play in this stigma? In this article, I created a survey for people to answer questions regarding their opinion on math, who they believe typically does well …

On Determining The Equation Of A Salkowski Curve Satisfying Tau/Kappa=1/S, Yun Myung Oh, Devin Garcia-Roblero

Faculty Publications

In this paper, we determine the equation of a Salkowski curve whose ratio of torsion to curvature is given by 1/s, where s is the arc length of the curve. The Frenet-Serret equations provide the third-order vector differential equation for the unit tangent vector T(s) and the general (series) solution was obtained. In the end, the series solution is entirely determined by the given initial conditions.

Exploring Non-Orientable Topology: Deriving The Poincaré Conjecture And Possibility Of Experimental Vindication With Liquid Crystal, Victor Christianto, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

This review investigates the potential of non-orientable topology as a fundamental framework for understanding the Poincaré conjecture and its implications across various scientific disciplines. Integrating insights from Dokuchaev (2020), Rapoport, Christianto, Chandra, Smarandache (under review), and other pioneering works, this article explores the theoretical foundations linking non-orientable spaces to resolving the Poincaré conjecture and its broader implications in theoretical physics, geology, cosmology, and biology.

Eigenvalue Algorithm For Hausdorff Dimension On Complex Kleinian Groups, Jacob Linden, Xuqing Wu

Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal

In this manuscript, we present computational results approximating the Hausdorff dimension for the limit sets of complex Kleinian groups. We apply McMullen's eigenvalue algorithm \cite{mcmullen} in symmetric and non-symmetric examples of complex Kleinian groups, arising in both real and complex hyperbolic space. Numerical results are compared with asymptotic estimates in each case. Python code used to obtain all results and figures can be found at \url{https://github.com/WXML-HausDim/WXML-project}, all of which took only minutes to run on a personal computer.

Population Growth Models: Relationship Between Sustainable Fishing And Making A Profit, James Sandefur

CODEE Journal

In this paper, we develop differential equations that model the sustainable harvesting of species having different characteristics. Specifically, we assume the species satisfies one of two different types of density dependence. From these equations, we consider maximizing sustainable harvests. We then introduce a cost function for fishing and study how maximizing profit affects the harvesting strategy. We finally introduce the concept of open access which helps explain the collapse of many fish stocks.

The equations studied involve relatively simple rational and exponential functions. We analyze the differential equations using phase-line analysis as well as graphing approximate solutions using Euler's method, …

Combinatorially Orthogonal Paths, Sean A. Bailey, David E. Brown, Leroy Beaseley

Communications on Number Theory and Combinatorial Theory

Vectors x=(x₁,x₂,...,x_n)^T and y=(y₁,y₂,...,y_n)^T are combinatorially orthogonal if |{i:x_iy_i≠0}|≠1. An undirected graph G=(V,E) is a combinatorially orthogonal graph if there exists f:V→ℝⁿ such that for any u,v∈V, uv∉E iff f(u) and f(v) are combinatorially orthogonal. We will show that every graph has a combinatorially orthogonal representation. We will show …

Differentiating By Prime Numbers, Jack Jeffries

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

It is likely a fair assumption that you, the reader, are not only familiar with but even quite adept at differentiating by x. What about differentiating by 13? That certainly didn’t come up in my calculus class! From a calculus perspective, this is ridiculous: are we supposed to take a limit as 13 changes? One notion of differentiating by 13, or any other prime number, is the notion of p-derivation discovered independently by Joyal [Joy85] and Buium [Bui96]. p-derivations have been put to use in a range of applications in algebra, number theory, and arithmetic geometry. Despite the wide range …

Forest Generating Functions Of Directed Graphs, Ewan Joaquin Kummel

Dissertations and Theses

A spanning forest polynomial is a multivariate generating function whose variables are indexed over both the vertex and edge sets of a given directed graph. In this thesis, we establish a general framework to study spanning forest polynomials, associating them with a generalized Laplacian matrix and studying its properties. We introduce a novel proof of the famous matrix-tree theorem and show how this extends to a parametric generalization of the all-minors matrix-forest theorem. As an application, we derive explicit formulas for the recently introduced class of directed threshold graphs.

We prove that multivariate forest polynomials are, in general, irreducible and …

Legendre Pairs Of Lengths ℓ ≡ 0 (Mod 5), Ilias S. Kotsireas, Christopher Koutschan, Dursun Bulutoglu, David M. Arquette, Jonathan S. Turner, Kenneth J. Ryan

Faculty Publications

By assuming a type of balance for length ℓ = 87 and nontrivial subgroups of multiplier groups of Legendre pairs (LPs) for length ℓ = 85 , we find LPs of these lengths. We then study the power spectral density (PSD) values of m compressions of LPs of length 5 m . We also formulate a conjecture for LPs of lengths ℓ ≡ 0 (mod 5) and demonstrate how it can be used to decrease the search space and storage requirements for finding such LPs. The newly found LPs decrease the number of integers in the range ≤ 200 for …

Fibonomial Matrix And Its Domain In The Spaces $\Ell_P$ And $\Ell_{\Infty}$, Muhammet Ci̇hat Dağli, Taja Yaying

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we introduce the fibonomial sequence spaces $b_{p}^{r,s,F}$ and $b_{\infty}^{r,s,F},$ and show that these are BK-spaces. Also, we prove that these new spaces are linearly isomorphic to $\ell_{p}$ and $\ell_{\infty}.$ Moreover, we determine the $\alpha$-, $\beta$-, $\gamma$-duals for these new spaces and characterize some matrix classes. The final section is devoted to the investigation of some geometric properties of the newly defined space $b_{p}^{r,s,F}.$

Best Proximity For Proximal Operators On $B$-Metric Spaces, Ariana Pitea, Monica Stanciu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The paper presents existence results of $(\phi,\varphi)$ best proximity points for operators that fulfill implicit type inequalities. Classes of mappings endowed with continuity, monotone or monotone-type properties, and which additionally satisfy some adequate inequalities are studied from this point of view. Applications of our results are given with regard to fixed point theory.

Multiplication Of Closed Balls In $\Mathbb{C}^N$, Patrícia Damas Beites, Alejandro Piñera Nicolás, José Da Silva Lourenço Vitória

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Motivated by circular complex interval arithmetic, some operations on closed balls in $\mathbb{C}^n$ are considered. Essentially, the properties of possible multiplications for closed balls in $\mathbb{C}^n$, related either to the Hadamard product of vectors or to the $2$-fold vector cross product when $n \in \{3, 7\}$, are studied. In addition, certain equations involving the defined multiplications are solved.

On Polynomially Partial-$A$-Isometric Operators, Mohamed Amine Aouichaoui, Dijana Mosic

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper presents a generalization of the concepts of partial-$A$-isometry and left polynomially partial isometry. Our investigation is inspired by previous work in the field [5, 30, 31]. By extending the definition of partial-$A$-isometry, we provide new insights into the properties and applications of these mathematical objects. In particular, we define the notion of left $p$-partial-$A$-isometry as a broader class of operators, including partial-$A$-isometry and left polynomially partial isometry. Some basic properties of a left $p$-partial-$A$-isometry are proven, as well as its relation with $A$-isometry. Several decompositions of a left $p$-partial-$A$-isometry are developed. We consider spectral properties and matrix representation …

Various Types Of Continuity And Their Interpretations In Ideal Topological Spaces, Anika Njamcul, Aleksandar Pavlovi?

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we work on preserving various types of continuity in ideal topological spaces. The accent will be on $\theta$-continuity and weak continuity. We will give their translations in ideal topological spaces. As a consequence of those results, we will prove that every $\theta$-continuous function is continuous if topologies are generated by $\theta$-open sets and we will give an example of a weakly continuous function which is not $\tau_\theta$-continuous. This will complete the diagram of relations between continuous, $\tau_\theta$-continuous, $\theta$-continuous, weakly continuous, and faintly continuous functions.

A New Approaching Method For Linear Neutral Delay Differential Equations By Using Clique Polynomials, Şuayi̇p Yüzbaşi, Mehmet Emi̇n Tamar

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This article presents an efficient method for obtaining approximations for the solutions of linear neutral delay differential equations. This numerical matrix method, based on collocation points, begins by approximating $y^{\prime}(u)$ using a truncated series expansion of Clique polynomials. This method is constructed using some basic matrix relations, integral operations, and collocation points. Through this method, the neutral delay problem is transformed into a system of linear algebraic equations. The solution of this algebraic system determines the coefficients of the approximate solution obtained by this method. The efficiency, accuracy, and error analysis of this method are demonstrated by applying it to …

Involutive Automorphisms And Derivations Of The Quaternions, Eyüp Kizil, Adriano Da Silva, Okan Duman

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $Q=(\frac{a,b}{{\Bbb R}})$ denote the quaternion algebra over the reals which is by the Frobenius Theorem either split or the division algebra $H$ of Hamilton's quaternions. We have presented explicitly in \cite{Kizil-Alagoz} the matrix of a typical derivation of $Q$. Given a derivation $d\in Der(H)$, we show that the matrix $D\in M_{3}({\Bbb R})$ that represents $d$ on the linear subspace $% H_{0}\simeq {\Bbb R}^{3}$ of pure quaternions provides a pair of idempotent matrices $AdjD$ and $-D^{2}$ that correspond bijectively to the involutary matrix $\Sigma $ of a quaternion involution $\sigma $ and present several equations involving these matrices. In particular, …

Invariant Subspaces Of Operators Via Berezin Symbols And Duhamel Product, Mübari̇z T. Garayev

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The Berezin symbol $\tilde{A}$ of an operator $A$ on the reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}\left( \Omega\right) $ over some set $\Omega$ with the reproducing kernel $k_{\lambda}$ is defined by \[ \tilde{A}(\lambda)=\left\langle {A\frac{{k_{\lambda}}}{{\left\Vert {k_{\lambda}}\right\Vert }},\frac{{k_{\lambda}}}{{\left\Vert {k_{\lambda}% }\right\Vert }}}\right\rangle ,\ \lambda\in\Omega. \] We study the existence of invariant subspaces for Bergman space operators in terms of Berezin symbols.

Generalized Pell Graphs, Vesna Irsi̇c, Sandi Klavzar, Eli̇f Tan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, generalized Pell graphs $\Pi _{n,k}$, $k\ge 2$, are introduced. The special case of $k=2$ are the Pell graphs $\Pi _{n}$ defined earlier by Munarini. Several metric, enumerative, and structural properties of these graphs are established. The generating function of the number of edges of $\Pi _{n,k}$ and the generating function of its cube polynomial are determined. The center of $\Pi _{n,k}$ is explicitly described; if $k$ is even, then it induces the Fibonacci cube $\Gamma_{n}$. It is also shown that $\Pi _{n,k}$ is a median graph, and that $\Pi _{n,k}$ embeds into a Fibonacci cube.

Interpolation Polynomials Associated To Linear Recurrences, Muhammad Syifa'ul Mufid, Laszlo Szalay

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Assume that $(G_n)_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}$ is an arbitrary real linear recurrence of order $k$. In this paper, we examine the classical question of polynomial interpolation, where the basic points are given by $(t,G_t)$ ($n_0\le t\le n_1$). The main result is an explicit formula depends on the explicit formula of $G_n$ and on the finite difference sequence of a specific sequence. It makes it possible to study the interpolation polynomials essentially by the zeros of the characteristic polynomial of $(G_n)$. During the investigations, we developed certain formulae related to the finite differences.

Free Ordered Products-Ordered Semigroup Amalgams-Ordered Dominions, Michael Tsingelis

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Given an indexed family $\left\{ \left( {{S}_{i}},{{\cdot }_{i}},{{\le }_{i}} \right),i\in I \right\}$ of disjoint ordered semigroups, we construct an ordered semigroup having $\left( {{S}_{i}},{{\cdot }_{i}},{{\le }_{i}} \right)$, $i\in I$ as subsemigroups (with respect to the operation and order relation of each $\left( {{S}_{i}},{{\cdot }_{i}},{{\le }_{i}} \right)$, $i\in I$). This ordered semigroup is the free ordered product ${{\underset{i\in I}{\mathop{\Pi }}\,}^{*}}{{S}_{i}}$ of the family $\left\{ {{S}_{i}},i\in I \right\}$ and we give the crucial property which essentially characterizes the free products. Next we study the same problem in the case that the family $\left\{ \left( {{S}_{i}},{{\cdot }_{i}},{{\le }_{i}} \right),i\in I \right\}$ of ordered …

Proximality And Transitivity In Relation To Points That Are Asymptotic To Themselves, Karol Gryszka

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We discuss dynamical systems that exhibit at least one weakly asymptotically periodic point. In the general case we prove that the system becomes trivial (it is either a periodic point or a fixed point) provided it is equicontinuous and transitive. This result can be used to provide a simple characterization of periodic points in transitive systems. We also discuss systems whose orbits are both proximal and weakly asymptotically periodic. As a result, we obtain a more general tool to detect mutual dynamics between two close orbits which need not be bounded (or have the empty limit set).

Some Congruences With $Q-$Binomial Sums, Neşe Ömür, Zehra Betül Gür, Si̇bel Koparal, Lai̇d Elkhiri

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, using some combinatorial identities and congruences involving $q-$harmonic numbers, we establish congruences that for any odd prime $p$ and any positive integer $\alpha$,% \begin{equation*} \text{ }\sum\limits_{k=1 \pmod{2}}^{p-1}(-1)^{nk}\frac{% q^{-\alpha npk+ n\tbinom{k+1}{2}+2k}}{[k]_{q}}{\alpha p-1 \brack k}_{q}^{n} \pmod{[p]_{q}^{2}} , \end{equation*}% and \begin{equation*} \sum\limits_{k=1 \pmod{2}}^{p-1}(-1)^{nk}q^{-\alpha npk+ n\tbinom{k+1}{2}+k}{\alpha p-1 \brack k}_{q}^{n}% \widetilde{H}_{k}(q)\pmod{[p]_{q}^{2}} ,\text{ } \end{equation*}% where $n$ is any integer.

Operator Index Of A Nonsingular Algebraic Curve, Anar Dosi̇

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The present paper is devoted to a scheme-theoretic analog of the Fredholm theory. The continuity of the index function over the coordinate ring of an algebraic variety is investigated. It turns out that the index is closely related to the filtered topology given by finite products of maximal ideals. We prove that a variety over a field possesses the index function on nonzero elements of its coordinate ring iff it is an algebraic curve. In this case, the index is obtained by means of the multiplicity function from its normalization if the ground field is algebraically closed.

On The Existence Of $6$-Cycles For Some Families Of Difference Equations Of Third Order, Antonio Linero Bas, Daniel Nieves Roldán

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We prove that there are no $6$-cycles of the form $x_{n+3}=x_i f(x_j,x_k),$ with $i,j,k\in\{n,n+1,n+2\}$ pairwise distinct, whenever $f:(0,\infty)\times (0,\infty)\rightarrow (0,\infty)$ is a continuous symmetric function, that is, $f(x,y)=f(y,x)$, for all $x,y>0$. Moreover, we obtain all the $6$-cycles of potential form and present some open questions relative to the search of $p$-cycles whenever symmetry does not hold.

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities involving fractional integral operations for p-convex functions with respect to another function are studied. Then, the inequalities via Riemann-Liouville and Hadamard fractional integrals are presented specially. Using the obtained results, some inequality relations among special functions including beta and incomplete beta functions, gamma and incomplete gamma functions, and hypergeometric functions are presented.

Dynamical Complexity Of A Predator-Prey Model With A Prey Refuge And Allee Effect, Jianping Gao, Jianghong Zhang, Wenyan Lian

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We consider a predator-prey model with a non-monotonic functional response encompassing a prey refuge and a strong Allee effect on the prey. The multiple existence and stability of interior equilibria are investigated. The bifurcation analysis shows this model can exhibit numerous kinds of bifurcations (e.g., saddle-node, Hopf-Andronov and Bogdanov-Takens bifurcations). It is found that there exist diverse parameter values for which the model exhibits a limit cycle, a homoclinic orbit, and even many heteroclinic curves. The results obtained reveal the prey refuge in the model brings rich dynamics and makes the system more sensitive to parameter values. The main purpose …
