Construction of Orthonormal Multivariate Wavelets 

Lindmark, Brian (2011-08-01)
The purpose of this paper is to explain the construction of orthonormal multivariate wavelets associated with a multiresolution analysis. This paper primarily uses the work of R. A. Zalik [10], where he outlines a method ...

Constructive Aspects for the Generalized Orthogonal Group 

Fuller, Steven (2010-04-28)
Our main result is a constructive proof of the Cartan-Dieudonn\'{e}-Scherk Theorem in the real or complex fields. The Cartan-Dieudonn\'{e}-Scherk Theorem states that for fields of characteristic other than two, every ...

Containment Relations and Line Graphs 

Guyer, Michael (2023-08-07)  ETD File Embargoed
This dissertation studies several problems involving containment relations and line graphs. First, motivated by Reed and Seymour's 2004 result that Hadwiger's Conjecture holds for line graphs, we provide a partial result ...

Convergence Analysis and Numerical Simulation of Particle Swarm Optimization 

Weerasinghe, Kariyawasam Ganesha (2017-04-21)
Nature, including mankind, loves to optimize and the world is far from being deterministic. Thus, stochastic optimization is an important and active area of research in applied mathematics. Inspired by the social behavior ...

Convexity of Generalized Numerical Ranges Associated with SU(n) and SO(n) 

Tadesse, Dawit Gezahegn (2010-05-20)
We give a new proof of a result of Tam on the convexity of the generalized numerical range associated with the classical Lie groups SO(n). We also provide a connection between the result and the convexity of the classical ...

Countably Compact, Countably Tight, Non-Compact Spaces 

Dabbs, James (2011-07-28)
In this work, we will study several examples of countably compact, countably tight, non-compact spaces. After reviewing the important basic notions, we will examine a construction of several such spaces first given by Manes ...

Cycle Systems 

Sehgal, Nidhi (2012-01-18)
In this dissertation the author has found the necessary and sufficient conditions for obtaining a 6-cycle system of the Cartesian product of two complete graphs covering 2-paths in the corresponding bipartite graph. She ...

Decomposing Graphs With Two Associate Classes Into Paths Of Length 3 And The Intersection Problem Of Latin Rectangles 

Yeh, Bin (2018-07-24)
In this thesis, the decomposition problem of graphs with two associate classes into paths of length 3 is completely settled. The intersection problem for latin rectangles is completely solved as well. In addition, an ...

Decomposition of Complete Tri-Partite Graphs into 5-Cycles 

Davis, Christopher (2013-04-16)
E. S. Mahmoodian gave necessary conditions for when the edges of a complete tripartite graph can be partitioned so that each set in the partition induces a 5-cycle. Since then, he, N. J. Cavenagh, E. J. Billington, S. ...

Dedekind Domains and the P-rank of Ext 

James, Daniel (2017-04-21)
We address what can be said of torsion-free finite rank modules $A$ and $B$ over a Dedekind domain $R$ when their Ext's are isomorphic, extending an answer to Fuchs' Problem 43 and its dual by Goeters. We obtain a result ...

Deep Learning, Neural Networks and Aerospace Applications 

Liting, Zhou (2018-11-15)
The ability to rack an enemy missile while in-flight, whether to accurately predict the point of impact (POI), the point of origin (POO) or to destroy the missile in-flight, is greatly enhanced if the missile type and/or ...

Defining Chaos 

Rock, Brittany (2017-07-26)
This thesis is a study of the paper "Defining chaos" by Brian Hunt and Edward Ott [1] with added details to make arguments easier to follow. They introduced a new entropy-based definition of chaos called expansion entropy. ...

Derivations of subalgebras of the Lie algebra of block upper triangular matrices 

Ghimire, Prakash (2016-07-22)
This dissertation studies the derivations of some subalgebras of the Lie algebra of block upper triangular matrices. Specifically, we study the derivations of the Lie algebra of strictly block upper triangular matrices ...

Development of Striae Distensae - A Mechanochemical Model 

Hariharan, Aneesh (2007-05-15)
Striae distensae, otherwise known as stretch marks, are common skin lesions found in a variety of clinical settings. They occur frequently during adolescence or pregnancy when there is rapid tissue expansion, but may ...

Differential geometry on matrix groups 

Gan, Luyining (2020-03-20)
In this dissertation, we study the differential geometry of the matrix groups. In literatures, many authors proposed to compute matrix means using the geodesic distance defined by an invariant Riemannian metrics on the ...

Discrete sets, free sequences and cardinal properties of topological spaces 

Spadaro, Santi (2009-07-01)
We study the influence of discrete sets and free sequences on cardinal properties of topological spaces. We focus mainly on the minimum number of discrete sets needed to cover a space X (denoted by dis(X)) and on reflection ...

Disjoint G-Designs and the Intersection Problem for Some Seven Edge Graphs 

Hollis, Daniel (2017-04-21)
A $G$-Design of order $n$ is a decomposition of the edges of $K_n$ (the complete graph on $n$ vertices) into subgraphs of $K_n$ isomorphic to $G$, called blocks, in which each edge of $K_n$ appears in exactly one block. ...

Disjoint Intersection Problem For Steiner Triple Systems 

Srinivasan, Sangeetha (2007-12-15)
Let (S, T_1) and (S, T_2) be two Steiner Triple systems on the set S of symbols with the set of triples T_1 and T_2 respectively. They are said to intersect in m blocks if |T_1 intersection T_2| = m. Further, if the blocks ...

A Distribution-Free Control Chart for Retrospective Location Analysis of Subgrouped Multivariate Data 

Bell, Richard C., Jr. (2011-09-08)
In multivariate quality control, a proper Phase I analysis is essential to the success of Phase II monitoring. Even self-starting methods, which seek to minimize the Phase I process, usually recommend a single retrospective ...
