An upscaled elliptic-parabolic system of partial differential equations
describing the multiscale flow of a single-phase incompressible fluid and
transport of a dissolved chemical by advection and diffusion through a heterogeneous
porous medium is developed without the usual assumptions of scale
separation. After a review of homogenization results for the traditional...
This thesis documents a method of proving that Turing machines
work for every case, if the construction of the Turing machine is
known. Mathematical Induction is used to construct the proof that the
Turing machine for binary addition will work in every well-formed case
of the input that it receives....
Abstract: We prove that for all ergodic extensions S-1 of a transformation by a locally compact second countable group G, and for all G-extensions S₂ of an aperiodic transformation, there is a relative speedup of S₁ that is relatively isomorphic to S₂. We apply this result to give necessary and...
Context-free grammars are adequate for specifying the structure of almost all programming languages. But in such specifications, it is difficult and time consuming to analyze a statement in the programming language to recognize its structural components.
Precedence grammars, a subset of the context-free grammars, were, developed for quick and easy...
In this dissertation, we consider two problems in number theory, both relating to modular forms. First we consider when a given modular form can be expressed as a quotient in Dedekind's $\eta$ function. Rouse and Webb \cite{RW} have determined the integers $N \leq 500$ such that the graded ring of...
Computational scheme, equivalence, and Turing machine are
defined. Some computational schemes are examined and shown to
be equivalent to the computational scheme of a Turing machine.
Many geophysical phenomena exhibit complicated dynamics that, due to a variety of factors, diverge quickly from physical models. The arrival of new observations allows researchers to combine the model estimate with measurements in a statistical process called data assimilation to produce a revised estimate of the phenomenon. This assimilation of...
