An exploration of near-vector space theory
… have been several definitions of near-vector spaces in the literature. In this thesis, we adopt the definition introduced by J. André. Although many properties of near-vector spaces have been established in the literature, this thesis provides algebraic proofs of several key results. One such …

On Some Classical Banach Space Concepts in Operator Space Theory
… that the nth-dimensional operator Hilbert space OHn is a subspace of an operator space which is completely isomorphic to a completely complemented subspace of a non-commutative Lp space over a QWEP separable type III factor. Using this, we proved that the completely p-summing norm of the …

The correlation between the special theory of relativity and subsonic compressible fluid mechanics
It is of utmost importance to note that the Sound-Space approach to subsonic compressibility effects is an exact solution to the problem. That is, equation 19.5 is an exact relation between the compressible and incompressible local pressure coefficients. Nowhere in the preceding analysis was it …

Statistical classification of item-response patterns into misconception groups in rule space
… to further explore a specific aspect of rule-space theory, identification of students with respect to their error rules, three major questions were raised: (a) How do the discriminant-function approach (DA) and the k-nearest-neighbor approach (KNN) perform for the classification of each …

Photodissociation Dynamics of Small Molecules
… states follows the prediction of a phase space theory model, while the vibrational state populations are nonstatistical and believed to be governed by the Franck-Condon factors. Angular and velocity distributions of state resolved (single rotational state) fragments were obtained with a …

Finite-State Airloads for Deformable Airfoils on Fixed and Rotating Wings
This thesis presents a state-space theory for the lift, drag, and all generalized forces of a deformable airfoil. Trailing-edge flap deflections are included implicitly as a special case of the general deformations. The theory allows for a thin airfoil performing small arbitrary motions with …

Phase space methods for the analysis and design of discontinuous systems.
The phase space theory and its application to the analysis and design of discontinuous systems hrs been discussed for both linear and saturated systems with step and ramp inputs. The general approach is to analyze the futures of the trajectories in error space, and design various control computers …

Hermite-Hadamard inequality in the geometry of banach spaces
The theory of inequalities has made significant contributions in many areas of mathematics. The purpose of this dissertation is to employ inequalities in studying the geometry of a Banach space. Motivated by the Hermite-Hadamard inequality, a new family of norms is defined, which is called the …

Ideation and Evaluation in Environmental Planning
… methods are developed and unified using vector space theory, and cluster analysis is used to evaluate alternative solutions.

Domains of convergence in infinite dimensional holomorphy
… on a Reinhardt domain R in a Banach sequence space X, mainly for H_{\infty}(R), P^m(X) and P(X), we give precise descriptions of the domain of convergence dom F(R), i.e. the set of all points of R where the monomial expansion \sum_{\alpha\in \N_0^{(\N)}} \frac{\partial^{\alpha} f (0)}{\alpha …

Urban Open Space: A Case Study of Msunduzi Municipality, South Africa
… must include viable and accessible open space. In order for urban planning and development agencies to ensure the presence of open space within cities, it is necessary to understand what constitutes ‘quality’ open space and the impediments to its creation. The focus of this thesis is to …

The Impact of Downsizing on Survivors' Career Development: A Test of Super's Theory
… age-associated stages within the Life-Span, Life-Space Theory were moderately upheld in the sample, especially for the Exploration stage. However, younger workers demonstrated more Maintenance concerns that would be predicted by the theory. A discussion of the relevant literature is included as …

Theory of reproducing kernels for Hilbert spaces of vector valued functions
The general theory of reproducing kernels developed by N. Aronszajn provides a unifying point of view for the study of an important class of Hilbert spaces of real or complex valued functions and for the application of the methods of Hilbert space theory to different problems in the theory of …

A preliminary formalization of scale in topology optimization

What are they learning?: Negotiations of language and identity within a third space after school program
This dissertation argues that third space is a strong tool for understanding the dynamic between literacy learning and collaborations in an after school program. I make the case for an inclusion of socio-political discussions among sociocultural discussions of literacy in after school programs for …

Applications of Powerset Operators, Especially to Matroids
<p>Let \(\mathcal{V}\) denote a vector space over an arbitrary field with an inner product. For any collection \(\mathcal{S}\) of vectors from \(\mathcal{V}\) the collection of all vectors orthogonal to each vector in \(\mathcal{S}\) is a subspace, denoted as \(\mathcal{S}^{\perp_v}\) and called …
