Studies In Multipartite Self-Complementary Graphs., T. Gangopadhyay Dr.
Doctoral Theses
The class of self-complenentary egraphs has been extensively etudied by nany people, among others by C.R.J. Clephan, S.B, Rao, G, Ringel and H. Sache, and nany problems have been solved for this class, such as the Haniltonian problen and the characterisati on of potentially and forcibly self-complenentary dogree sequences (see [1], [2], [12), [13), [14, [15)). Thus self-complenentary graphs form an interesting class and this has been generalised by Hebbare [8] into the class of multipartite self-conplementary graphs.An r-partite self-complenentary graph is an r-partite graph G which is isomorphic to its r-partite complement where H has the sane vertex set …

Some Asymptotic Properties Of Maximum Likelihood Procedures., Kasala Subramaniam Dr.
Doctoral Theses
This thesis consists of two parts dealing with maximum likeli. hood procedures in two different frameworks. In the first part (Chapters 1,2 and 3) we consider inference about a parameter which is discrete or separated in the sense that no f(x, e) can be obtained as a "limit" of ff(x,e1)}, + e. (A precise definition of what is meant by & "limit" is given in Chapter 1). In the second part (Chapters 4 and 5) we consider the usual eÅŸtimetion problem of what may be called in constrast to Part I, a contimuous parameter. We assume, we have an exponential …

On Some Non Uniform Rates Of Convergence To Normality With Applications., Ratan Dasgupta Dr.
Doctoral Theses
We obtain non-uniform rates of convergence to normality of the partial sums in a triangular array of random variables, where variables in each array are independently distributed. Section 2 of this chapter generalizes the results of Michel (1976) mainly in the direction of considering a triangular array of rand om variables. A slight generality in the moment assumptions is also made. The later extension is quite in spirit with Katzs (1963) extension of the classical Berry-Esseen theorem. Since by Tomkins theorem (see Tomkins (1971) or Stout (1974)) the laws of the iterated logarithm are directly related to the zone where …

A Rapid Algorithm For Reliability Optimization Of Parallel Redundant Systems, Arcot Desai Narasimhalu, H. Sivaramakrishnan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
A rapid method is proposed for optimization of reliability of multiconstraint parallel redundant systems. The constraints need not be linear. This method provides good starting values, which are close to the boundary of the feasible region, for the number of redundant units in each subsystem. No proof has been presented to establish the optimality obtained by this method. Yet for examples tried out this method provides optimal or near optimal solutions.

A Study Of Admissibility Through Exterior Boundary Value Problem., C. Srinivasan Dr.
Doctoral Theses
The study of admissible decision procedures began in late forties when Wald introduced the concept to characterize the minimal complete class of decision procedures. Starting with the pioneering work of Abraham Wald, there has been considerable contribution to this area over the last three decades. However, most of the articles in this field dealt with specific decision procedures arid studied their admissibility. It was Stein [11 who first characterized, admissible decision procedures. Farrell ([2], (3]) generalized the result of Stein. In spite of the works of Stein and Farrell the problem of deciding whether a given decision procedure is admissible …

Process Control Of Activated Sludge Treatment, Phase Ii, Richard I. Kermode, Robert W. J. Brett, Joseph D. Pault Jr.
KWRRI Research Reports
Material balances on substrate and microorganisms were derived in conjunction with various mixing configurations thought to accurately describe the activated sludge process. These models include the completely mixed with bypass, plug flow, and plug flow with bypass. Two sets of kinetic mechanisms for substrate utilization and bacterial growth were employed.
A feed forward controller was designed from linear approximations of the material balances derived in the completely mixed with bypass mixing model. Utilizing frequency response methods, the controller was found essentially identical to a completely mixed modeled controller developed in a prior investigation.
Through computer simulation the controller's effectiveness was …

Minimum Cost Design Of Water Distribution Systems, Don J. Wood, C. O. Charles
KWRRI Research Reports
The objective of this study was to develop the analytical tools and procedures for minimum cost design of water distribution systems. Both analog and digital means of carrying out pressure and flow calculations were developed. As a result of this effort, digital programs for pressure and flow calculations in water distribution systems were written and have been widely distributed to practicing engineers. One procedure is based on a direct solution of the basic system equations using a linearization scheme and has several advantages over conventional techniques such as the Hardy Cross method. These include avoiding the need to initially balance …

Process Control Of Activated Sludge Treatment, Richard I. Kermode, Robert W. J. Brett, Kenneth A. Debelak, John J. Davis
KWRRI Research Reports
General feed forward controllers, conforming to standard control modes, have been derived for an activated sludge process. The analysis indicated that the appropriate controllers are proportional control with measurement of substrate flow rate, and derivative control with measurement of inlet substrate concentration, and manipulation of the rate of return sludge by both controllers.
The performance of these controllers was tested by computer simulation of five dynamic aerator models with and without sludge storage, and with two settling basin models. In all cases significant reduction of the maximum exit substrate concentration was achieved. Additional improvement resulted from the use of sludge …

International variation in national product is a subject of considerable interest, and any meaningful comparison of national product or per capita national income has to be in termo of a common currency. An intertemporal comparison for the same country at two points of time is mote meaningful in real terms, or in other words when the currency unit is adjusted for change in the general price level between the two points of time. In the same manner, the level of output or of consumption of a group of persons belonging to a region or to a particular socio-economio group can …

Some Contribution To The Theory Applications And Computations Of Generalized Inverses Of Matrices., Pochiraju Bhimasankaram Dr.
Doctoral Theses
The origin of the concept of a generalized inverse dates back to as early as 1920 when Moore defined the generalized inverse of matrix which is equivalent toDefinition 1 (Moore) : Let A be a m >< n matrix over the field of complex numbers. Then a is the generalized Inverse of A if AG is the orthogonal projection operator projecting arbitrary vectors onto the column space of A and GA is the orthogonal projection operator projecting arbitrary sectors onto, the column space of G.Mod re (1935) discussed this concept and its properties in some detail. Tsong (1949a, 1949b, 1956) discussed about generalized 1nverses of operators in more general spaces and Bjerhammer (1951) discussed the generalized inverse of a matrix in connection with an application to geodetic calculations. Unaware of the work of Hoore and others, Penrose (1955) defined a generalized inverse of a matrix as follows :Definition 2 (Penrosel) : Let A be a m *n -matrix over the field of complex numbers. Then G is a generalized inverse of a if (i) AFA= A; (ii) GAG=G; (iii) (AG)*=AG and (iv) (GA)*-GA.Penrose (1955,1956) showed that for every matrix there exists a unique generalized inverse, discussed several of its important properties, gave applications to solution of matrix equations and suggested a practical method of computation of the generalised inverse.As was pointed out by Rado (1956) Moo res definition of generalized inverse is equivalent to that of Penrose, Such generalized inverse is called the Moore-Penrose inverse and A is used to denote the Moore-Penrose inverse of A.Rao (1955), unaware of the earlier or contemporary Work, constructed a pseudo-inverse of a matrix which he used in some least squares computations, In a paper in 1962, he defined a generalized inverse (g-inverse) as follows, proved some interesting properties and gave applications of g-inverses to Mathomatical Statistics.Definition 3 (Rao) : Lot A be am x n matrix, Then a n >< m matrix. Then a n >< m matrix G is a g-inverse of A if x = Gy is a solution of the linear system Ax = y whenever it is consistent.A g-inverse if u matrix (in the sense of Rao) is in general not unique, As 1s easily observed (from definitions 2 and 4) the class of all g-inverses of a matrix A contains A*. Rạo (1965, 1967) developed a calculus of g-inverses, classified the g-inverses according to their use and according to the proporties they possess similar to those of the inverse of a nonsingular matrix and suggested further applications to Mathematical Statistics. Mitra (1968a, 1968b) gave an equivalem definition of a g-inverse, developed further calculus of z-inverses, used g-invorses to solve some matrix equations of interest and explored the possibilities of some new classes of g-inverses with applications. In a series of papers, and a monograph Mitra and Rao (1968, 1970) pursued the research on generalized inverses of matrix's and their applications to various scientific disciplines.

Contribution To Linear Quaternionic Analysis., K. Viswanath Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Several articles have appeared in recent years which discuss linear transformations on finite-dimensional vector spaces over the quaternions in terms of matrices, but the general infinite -dimensional situation does not seen to have received much attention. In particular, very little is known about linear transformations on quaternionic Hilbert spaces apart from the obvious theory of Hermitian operators. There are hardly any discussion of this subject, apart from the brief treatment of Finkelstein, Jauch, Schiminovitch and Speiser in their fundamental paper on the foundations of quaternion quantum mechanics (1962), which gives spectral theorems for unitary operators and skew hermitian operators and …

Design Optimization Using Model Estimation Programming, Richard Kay Brimhall
Design Optimization Using Model Estimation Programming, Richard Kay Brimhall
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Model estimation programming provides a method for obtaining extreme solutions subject to constraints. Functions which are continuous with continuous first and second derivatives in the neighborhood of the solution are approximated using quadratic polynomials (termed estimating functions) derived from computed or experimental data points. Using the estimating functions, an approximation problem is solved by a numerical adaptation of the method of Lagrange. The method is not limited by the concavity of the objective function.
Beginning with an initial array of data observations, an initial approximate solution is obtained. Using this approximate solution as a new datum point, the coefficients for …
