• On a ring associated to F[x]. ﻿

(, 2013-09-24)
For a ﬁeld F and the polynomial ring F [x] in a single indeterminate, we deﬁne Ḟ [x] = {α ∈ End_F(F [x]) : α(ƒ) ∈ ƒF [x] for all ƒ ∈ F [x]}. Then Ḟ [x] is naturally isomorphic to F [x] if and only if F is inﬁnite. If F ...
• On Birman--Hardy--Rellich-type inequalities. ﻿

(2019-07-24)
In 1961, Birman proved a sequence of inequalities on the space of m-times continuously di↵erentiable functions of compact support Cm 0 ((0, 1)) ⇢ L2((0, 1)), containing the classical (integral) Hardy inequality and the ...
• Orbit structures of homeomorphisms. ﻿

(, 2012-11-29)
In this dissertation we answer the following question: If X is a Cantor set and T: X → to X is a homeomorphism, what possible orbit structures can T have? The answer is given in terms of the orbit spectrum of T. If X is a ...
• Orbits, pseudo orbits, and the characteristic polynomial of q-nary quantum graphs. ﻿

(2020-07-17)
Quantum graphs provide a simple model of quantum mechanics in systems with complex geometry and can be used to study quantum chaos. We evaluate the variance of the coefficients of a quantum binary graph’s associated ...
• Oscillating satellites about the straight line equilibrium points. ﻿

(1952)
The problem as studied in this thesis is the behavior of a satellite at the three equilibrium points. When a satellite is displaced from rest at one of these points it will either oscillate or rapidly leave the system. The ...
• Polynomial preconditioning with the minimum residual polynomial. ﻿

(2019-12-17)
Krylov subspace methods are often used to solve large, sparse systems of linear equations Ax=b. Preconditioning can help accelerate the Krylov iteration and reduce costs for solving the problem. We study a polynomial ...
• Preconditioning mixed finite elements for tide models. ﻿

(2019-07-24)
We describe finite element methods for the linearized rotating shallow water equations which govern tides. Symplectic Euler and Crank-Nicolson time-stepping strategies have good energy preservation properties, which is ...
• Quadratic Lyapunov theory for dynamic linear switched systems. ﻿

(, 2014-01-28)
In this work, a special class of time-varying linear systems in the arbitrary time scale setting is examined by considering the qualitative properties of their solutions. Building on the work of J. DaCunha and A. Ramos, ...
• Restarting the Lanczos algorithm for large eigenvalue problems and linear equations. ﻿

(2008-10-02)
We are interested in computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large matrices and in solving large systems of linear equations. Restarted versions of both the symmetric and nonsymmetric Lanczos algorithms are given. For ...
• Similarity of blocks in parabolic category O and a wonderful correspondence for modules of covariants. ﻿

(2018-07-13)
Let (g,k) be the pair of complexified Lie algebras corresponding to an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of noncompact type. Then we have an associated triangular decomposition g = p− ⊕ k ⊕ p+, and q = k ⊕ p+ is a ...

In this work we explore various piston configurations with different types of potentials. We analyze Laplace-type operators P=-g^ij ∇^E_i ∇ ^E_j+V where V is the potential. First we study delta potentials and rectangular ...
• Spectral properties of quantum graphs with symmetry. ﻿

(2019-07-15)
Quantum graphs were first introduced as a simple model for studying quantum mechanics in geometrically complex systems. For example, Pauling used quantum graphs to study organic molecules by viewing the atomic nuclei as ...

This dissertation explores effective and efficient computational methodologies for solving two-dimensional Heston stochastic volatility option pricing models with multiple financial engineering applications. Dynamically ...
• The sixth-order Krall differential expression and self-adjoint operators. ﻿

(2019-03-22)
We first provide an overview of classical GNK Theory for symmetric, or symmatrizable, differential expressions in L2((a, b);w). Then we review how this theory was applied to find a self-adjoint operator in L2 \mu(-1, 1) ...

For the third order ordinary differential equation, $y'''=f(x,y,y',y'')$, it is assumed that, for some $m\geq 4$, solutions of nonlocal boundary value problems satisfying $y(x_1)=y_1,\ y(x_2)=y_2,$ \[y(x_m)-\sum_{i= ...
