Non-metric Continua that support Whitney maps
(2009-02-23)
An example of a non-metric continuum is constructed, where every non-degenerate subcontinuum is non-metric, that supports a Whitney
map. Additional non-metric examples are given and examinations of conditions under which ...
Stochastic Differential Equations: A Dynamical Systems Approach
(2008-09-09)
The relatively new subject of stochastic differential equations has increasing impor-
tance in both theory and applications. The subject draws upon two main sources, prob-
ability/stochastic processes and differential ...
On the existence of even and k-divisible-matchings
(2008-09-09)
The concept of an an even matching was first introduced by Billington and Hoffman.
They were used to find gregarious 4-cycle decompositions of $K_{8t(a),b}$ with a and b odd.
Their paper contains even matchings of type ...
Generalization of Ky Fan-Amir-Moez-Horn-Mirsky's result on the eigenvalues and real singular values of a matrix
(2008-09-09)
Ky Fan's result states that the real part of the eigenvalues of an n by n com-
plex matrix A is majorized by the eigenvalues of the Hermitian part of A. The
converse was established by Amir-Moez and Horn, and Mirsky, ...
An example of movable approximations of a minimal set in a continuous flow
(2009-02-23)
In the present dissertation the study of flows on n-manifolds in particular in dimension three, e.g., R^3, is motivated by the following question. Let A be a compact invariant set in a flow on X. Does every neighbourhood ...
Poroelasticity
(2009-02-23)
Poroelasticity is the study of elastic deformation of porous materials saturated with a fluid and the coupling between the fluid pressure and the solid deformation.
Considerable progress has been made in formulating ...
New Classes of Multivariate Gamma Survival and Reliability Models
(2008-09-09)
Multivariate modeling and analysis based on the multivariate normal distribution is well established and widely used. However, when the marginal distributions have only a positive support, such as time-to-event models, ...
Torsionless Modules and Minimal Generating Sets for Ideals of Integral Domains
(2008-09-09)
This is a treatise of relationships between the number of elements necessary to generate the ideals of a domain and the
torsionless modules of that domain. Three types of domains are
identified according to natural ...
Path and Cycle Decompositions
(2008-09-09)
A $G$-design is a partition of edge set of K_v in which each element induces a copy of G. The existence of G-designs with the additional property that they contain no proper subsystems has been
previously settled when G ...
The Intersection Problem for Latin Squares with Holes of Size 2 and 3
(2009-04-28)
In this dissertation we give complete solutions for the intersection problem of latin
squares with holes of size 2 and 3. For a pair of 2n x 2n latin squares with holes of size 2
to have k entries in common outside of ...
