Limiting behavior of Ricci flows
Consider the unnormalized Ricci flow ...Richard Hamilton showed that if the curvature operator is uniformly bounded under the flow for all times ... then the solution can be extended beyond T. In the thesis we prove that if the Ricci curvature is uniformly bounded under the flow for all times ... …

Limiting Behavior of Nondeterministic Fillings of the Torus by Colored Squares
<p>In this work we study different dynamic processes for filling tori and n×∞ bands with edge-to-edge black and white squares at random. First we present a simulation for the Random Sequential Adsorption (RSA) with nearest-neighbor rejection on n×n tori. We are interested in the ratio of black to …

Limit theorems for a one-dimensional system with random switchings
… invariant density explicitly. We study the limiting behavior of the invariant density as the switching rate approaches zero and infinity and derive analogues of classical probabilistic results such as the central limit theorem and large deviations principle.

Dynamic strategic interactions : analysis and mechanism design
… to provide a new framework for analyzing the limiting behavior of strategy update rules in various game-theoretic settings. In the second part, we investigate the design problem of an auctioneer who uses iterative multi-- item auctions for efficient allocation of resources. More specifically, …

A continuum limit of a finite discrete nonlinear Schroedinger system
… between the solution of the formally derived limiting system of partial differential equations and the limiting behavior of the solutions to the discrete systems. By setting appropriate boundary conditions on the initial data, a finite subchain decouples, and this system is known to be …

A Dynamical Study of the Evolution of Pressure Waves Propagating through a Semi-Infinite Region of Homogeneous Gas Combustion Subject to a Time-Harmonic Signal at the Boundary
… partial differential equation. Steady-state behavior is investigated using the perturbation method to ensure that enough time has passed for any transient effects to have dissipated. The zeroth, first and second-order perturbation solutions are obtained and their moduli are plotted against …

Stochastic sequential assignment problem
… The second part of this thesis analyzes the limiting behavior of the SSAP as the number of assignments approaches infinity. The optimal assignment policy for the basic SSAP has a threshold structure and involves computing a new set of breakpoints upon the arrival of each task, which is …

Active limiting frequency selective surface at X-band
… is proposed to mitigate this issue by moving the limiting function before the antenna, and this type of receiver protection has had minimal investigation in the existing literature. A new design operating at X-band is proposed using a square-plate element, and is simulated and measured for both …

Learning to trust in forecast information sharing
… of our model and the structure of other behavioral models related to bounded rationality or cheap talk. We characterize how the supply chain environment changes trust and decisions. We find out that initial beliefs do not matter because they will be quickly adjusted by the market: the …

Some Nonlinear Networks Suggested by Learning Theory
… the effect of this geometry on the system's limiting behavior as t→∞. We also investigate the effects which the ratios of solutions of our systems have on the outputs of each system. We show that the average output of each system is not a good index of the mechanism which characterizes its …

Optical Limiting and Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing in Novel Fullerenes
Two experimental methods, optical limiting and degenerate four-wave mixing, are employed to study the nonlinear optical properties of various novel fullerenes structures. Optical limiting refers to decreased transmittance of a material with increased incident light intensity. Detailed measurements …

Scaling limits of random plane partitions and six-vertex models
… Our first result concerns the asymptotic behavior of the bottom slice of a Hall-Littlewood random plane partition. We show the latter concentrates around a limit shape and in two different scaling regimes identify the fluctuations around this shape with the GUE Tracy- Widom distribution …

The Distribution of the Product of Parts in Integer Partitions
… Bridges and Craig that N(L) lacks a non-trivial limiting distribution as n → ∞. We believe this is because the norm is, in a sense, a multiplicative statistic on partitions. Hence, in this work, we study instead the logarithm of the norm (or log-norm) log N(L). We prove that the log-norm of a …

Economically optimum design of cusum charts when there is a multiplicity of assignable causes
… are also studied. An investigation of the limiting behavior of the loss-cost function as the decision limit approaches infinity reveals that in some cases there exist some points that yield a lower loss-cost than that of the local minimum obtained by Brown's method. It is conjectured that …

Exponential Random Graphs and a Generalization of Parking Functions
… display a phase transtion and identify the limiting behavior of such graphs in the dual space provided by the Legendre-Fenchel transform.</p> <p>For finite systems, we analyze the mixing time of exponential random graph models. The mixing time of unweighted exponential random graphs was …

Availability Analysis for the Quasi-Renewal Process
The behavior of repairable equipment is often modeled under assumptions such as perfect repair, minimal repair, or negligible repair. However the majority of equipment behavior does not fall into any of these categories. Rather, repair actions do take time and the condition of equipment following …

Early Detection of Treatment's Side Effects: A Sequential Approach
