Random Variable Spaces: Mathematical Properties and an Extension to Programming Computable Functions
… exploration of Random Variable Spaces. Their mathematical properties are studied, including the establishment of relationships between these spaces through functors based on measurable functions. Additionally, the dissertation investigates the possibility of a fibration between the category of …

A SPECIAL FACILITY LOCATION PROBLEM APPLICABLE TO THE POSTAL SERVICE NETWORK OPTIMAL DESIGN
… needed, formulate the models, and explore some mathematical properties of the models. An efficient methodology as well as two heuristic algorithms is developed. The preliminary computational experiment is satisfactory.

Image Compression by Wavelet Transform.
… used compression algorithms are discussed. The mathematical properties of several types of wavelets, including Haar, Daubechies, and biorthogonal spline wavelets are covered and the Enbedded Zerotree Wavelet (EZW) coding algorithm is introduced. The last part of the thesis analyzes the …

Implementation techniques for rewriting and narrowing
… programming language having convenient mathematical properties. Programs are easy to understand, as they have very simple syntax and semantics, based on equalities, with no explicit control. By allowing variables within the initial term, the term may be thought of as a logical query. It …

Using Mathematical Biology to Model a Revolution
… political revolutions using adaptations of mathematical biology models. Existing models of similar social phe- nomena either lack recruitment terms from one population to another, or assume the entire population is a constant size, which is not realistic in this scenario. Therefore, we have …

Generalized Classes of Distributions with Applications to Income and Lifetime Data
… of these classes of distributions is conducted. Mathematical properties of these classes of distributions including series expansion, hazard and reverse hazard functions, moments, generating functions, mean and median deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, distribution of order statistics, …

Two generalizations of the skew-normal distribution and two variants of McCarthy's theorem
… distributions are proposed and studied. Some mathematical properties of both distributions are derived. Part two is focused on the extension of the theorem of characterization of scoring rules, due to McCarthy (1956) ([16] of part 2), in two directions: for countable infinite sample spaces, …

Diversity-inducing probability measures for machine learning
… In this thesis, we investigate DIPMs, their mathematical properties, sampling algorithms, and applications. Perhaps the best known instance of a DIPM is a Determinantal Point Process (DPP). DPPs originally arose in quantum physics, and are known to have deep relations to linear algebra, …

Color circle : an original composition for orchestra and computer
… upon a fully-chromatic circle of fifths and the mathematical properties of geometric circles (realized as various waveforms) to help generate compositional material and to guide formal decisions. The work is divided into five sections, each of which is driven by a variation on a motive of three …

On the solution of a class of capital investment problems
… problems is considered within the framework of mathematical programming. Upon the basis of the net present value criterion, the problems in question are mainly characterized by the fact that the cost of capital is defined as a non-decreasing function of the investment requirements. Capital …

An Introduction to the Lebesgue Integral
… Riemann integral does not exist, and it has mathematical properties that the Riemann integral does not. The definition of the Lebesgue integral requires the use of measure theory since picking out a suitable class of measurable subsets is an essential prerequisite for Lebesgue integral. The …

Nanomanipulation modeling and simulation
… a new friction state and has desirable mathematical properties making it a well-posed dynamical model that characterizes friction with fidelity. The proposed nanomanipulation model facilitates further improvement and extension of each subsystem to accommodate other physical phenomena …

A System to Exploit Symmetry in Common Tensor Kernels
… and graph theory. Symmetry arises through both mathematical properties and scientific phenomena. Taking advantage of symmetry in matrices saves a factor of two, but taking advantage of symmetry in a tensor of order n can save a factor of n! in memory accesses and operations. However, …

A theoretical basis for the concept of effectiveness.
… fewer and more subjective characteristics. Mathematical properties of measurements appropriate to these characteristics are discussed as a function of the intended use of the effectiveness measurement. The type of measurement required to meet an analysis objective is dependent on the …

Domain decomposition based algorithms for some inverse problems
… achieved. It is also shown that by exploiting mathematical properties such as change of nonlinearity further performance improvements can be made.

A study of Grade 8 and 9 learner thinking about linear equations, from a commognitive perspective
… with algebra and their inadequate access to mathematical properties as a problem-solving resource. This small-scale qualitative study focuses on how, in an interview, fifteen Grade 8 and 9 learners at two South African schools think about linear equations. Sfard's theory of commognition, and …

Collective belief models for representing consensus and divergence in communities of Bayesian decision-makers
… In the process they may fail to uphold a set of mathematical properties for rational aggregation defined by social choice theorists. This dissertation introduces a new aggregation approach that maintains the diversity of a population and allows the competitive aspects of a situation to emerge, …

Discovering and Applying Geometric Transformations: Transformations to Show Congruence and Similarity
… to determine current high school teachers’ prior mathematical content knowledge and develop their content knowledge of transformations and their applications. The design of this study was guided by the questions: “Why is there a level of reluctance amongst secondary teachers when it comes to …
