  • Quantum and Classical Simulation of Electronic Transport at the Nanoscale

    Creator:
    Gruss, Daniel S.
    Abstract:
    Time-dependent electronic transport is increasingly important to the state-of-the-art device design and fabrication. The development of nanoscale sensing, the harnessing and control of structural fluctuations, and the advancement of next-generation materials all require a treatment of quantum dynamics beyond the level of traditional methods and a more nuanced approach to...

  • An inner product on adelic measures

    Creator:
    Oberly, Peter J.
    Abstract:
    We define an inner product on a vector space of adelic measures over a number field $K$. We find that the norm induced by this inner product governs weak convergence at each place of $K$. The canonical adelic measure associated to a rational map is in this vector space, and...

  • Adiabatic and stable adiabatic times

    Creator:
    Bradford, Kyle B.
    Abstract:
    While the stability of time-homogeneous Markov chains have been extensively studied through the concept of mixing times, the stability of time-inhomogeneous Markov chains has not been studied as in depth. In this manuscript we will introduce special types of time-inhomogeneous Markov chains that are defined through an adiabatic transition. After...

  • High efficiency wideband low-power delta-sigma modulators

    Creator:
    Lee, Sang Hyeon
    Abstract:
    Delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters traditionally have been used for low speed, high resolution applications such as measurements, sensors, voice and audio systems. Through continued device scaling in CMOS technology and architectural and circuit level design innovations, they have even become popular for wideband, high dynamic range applications such as wired and...

  • Security protocols for linear network coding

    Creator:
    Adeli, Majid
    Abstract:
    Network coding, as the next generation of data routing protocols, enables each intermediate node in a network to process and encode its received data before forwarding it to the next nodes. Hence, the core idea in network coding is to allow a network to encode the data that is being...

  • Representations of fractional Brownian motion

    Creator:
    Wichitsongkram, Noppadon
    Abstract:
    Integral representations provide a useful framework of study and simulation of fractional Browian motion, which has been used in modeling of many natural situations. In this thesis we extend an integral representation of fractional Brownian motion that is supported on a bounded interval of ℝ to integral representation that is...

  • A probabilistic framework and algorithms for modeling and analyzing multi-instance data

    Creator:
    Behmardi, Behrouz
    Abstract:
    Multi-instance data, in which each object (e.g., a document) is a collection of instances (e.g., word), are widespread in machine learning, signal processing, computer vision, bioinformatic, music, and social sciences. Existing probabilistic models, e.g., latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), probabilistic latent semantic indexing (pLSI), and discrete component analysis (DCA), have been...

  • On shortest disjoint paths and Hamiltonian cycles in some interconnection networks

    Creator:
    Hussain, Zaid
    Abstract:
    Parallel processors are classified into two classes: shared-memory multiprocessors and distributed- memory multiprocessors. In the shared-memory system, processors communicate through a common memory unit. However, in the distributed multiprocessor system, each processor has its own memory unit and the communications among the processors are performed through an interconnection network. Thus,...

  • Convergence Analysis Framework for Fixed-Point Algorithms in Machine Learning and Signal Processing

    Creator:
    Vu, Trung
    Abstract:
    Iterative algorithms are simple yet efficient in solving large-scale optimization problems in practice. With a surge in the amount of data in past decades, these methods have become increasingly important in many application areas including matrix/tensor recovery, deep learning, data mining, and reinforcement learning. To optimize or improve iterative algorithms,...

  • Classifying seven dimensional manifolds of fixed cohomology type

    Creator:
    Montagantirud, Pongdate
    Abstract:
    Finding new examples of compact simply connected spaces admitting a Riemannian metric of positive sectional curvature is a fundamental problem in differential geometry. Likewise, studying topological properties of families of manifolds is very interesting to topologists. The Eschenburg spaces combine both of those interests: they are positively curved Riemannian manifolds...
