A graph-theoretic approach to the construction of Lyapunov functions for coupled systems on networks
DownloadFall 2010
For coupled systems of differential equations on networks, a graph-theoretic approach to the construction of Lyapunov functions is systematically developed in this thesis. Kirchhoff’s Matrix-Tree Theorem in graph theory plays an essential role in the approach’s development. The approach is...

A simulation-based approach to assess the goodness of fit of Exponential Random Graph Models
DownloadFall 2010
Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGMs) have been developed for fitting social network data on both static and dynamic levels. However, the lack of large sample asymptotic properties makes it inadequate in assessing the goodness-of-fit of these ERGMs. Simulation-based goodness-of-fit plots were...

After the scientific problem of interest is defined, collecting data is the first stage of any statistical analyses. The question of how large the sample should be is thus of great interest. In this thesis we demonstrate that in a geostatistical experiment determining the minimum sample size to...

In this thesis, we investigate Riesz bases of wavelets and their applications to numerical solutions of elliptic equations. Compared with the finite difference and finite element methods, the wavelet method for solving elliptic equations is relatively young but powerful. In the wavelet Galerkin...

Missing data is always a problem when it comes to data analysis. This is especially the case in anthropology when sex determination is one of the primary goals for fossil skull data since many measurements were not available. We expect to find a classifier that can handle the large amount of...

The current Thesis is devoted to comprehensive studies of comparison, or stochastic domination, theorems. It presents a combination of theoretical research and practical ideas formulated in several specific examples. Previously known results and their place it the theory of stochastic processes...

When a semi-infinite body of homogeneous fluid initially at rest behind a vertical retaining wall is suddenly released by the removal of the barrier the resulting flow over a horizontal or sloping bed is referred to as a dam-break flow. When resistance to the flow is neglected the exact...

Human food production activities can dominate natural systems, altering ecological and evolutionary aspects of the environment. Disease-mediated interactions are of particular concern. For example, parasites may "spill-over'' from farms to wildlife. Parasites isolated on farms can evolve...

A well known result in probability is that convergence almost surely (a.s.) of a sequence of random elements implies weak convergence of their laws. The Ukrainian mathematician Anatoliy Volodymyrovych Skorohod proved the lemma known as Skorohod’s a.s. representation Theorem, a partial converse of...

In Chapters 1 and 2, we introduce the definition of interpolating refinable function vectors in dimension one and high dimensions, characterize such interpolating refinable function vectors in terms of their masks, and derive their sum rule structure explicitly. We study biorthogonal refinable...
