• Two contributions to order restricted inferences 

  Echart, Alexandra K. (Wichita State University, 2018-12)

  We are proposing two separate problems from order restricted inferences. The rst is a one-sided test for stochastic ordering of two distribution functions that protects against false positive conclusions because of model ...

• The effect of small time delays on large-scale systems 

  Almutairi, Shahah (Wichita State University, 2018-12)

  In this research, model reduction techniques are used to design optimal control strategies with low sensitivity in order to model uncertainty. The source of uncertainty encountered is the time delay, and the reduced-order ...

  Bragg, Aaron R. (Wichita State University, 2018-12)

  In 1900 at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris, D. Hilbert posed 23 questions that later became known as Hilbert's 23 problems. Number 13 remained unresolved for over half a century until 1956 and 1957 ...

• Coverage probability of tolerance levels 

  Lann-Wolcott, Matthew (Wichita State University, 2018-12)

  In this thesis the ideas of the tolerance limit and coverage probabilities are explored in the context of the A-basis and B-basis for composite materials. The breaking strength of composite materials are random variables ...

• Continuation of solutions of elliptic systems from discrete sets with application to geometry of surfaces 

  Domme, Cristina C. (Wichita State University, 2018-07)

  We obtain new estimates of stability for continuation of solutions of elliptic inequali- ties | ∂u|2 < = a|u|2 from finite discrete sets. For this we use Hormander's type of Carleman estimates for ∂-bar with boundary ...

• Increasing stability for the inverse scattering source problem with many frequencies 

  Entekhabi, Mozhgan (Nora) (Wichita State University, 2018-07)

  In mathematics and physics, the inverse scattering problem is the problem of determining characteristics of an object, based on data of how it scatters incoming radiation or particles. It is the inverse problem to the ...

• A comparative study of electroweak Higgs boson production at future Hadron Colliders 

  Chen, Tinghua (Wichita State University, 2018-07)

  The discovery of the Higgs boson has opened the door to the next phase of exploration in particle physics. Since the Higgs boson was found in July 2012 at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), many researches and experiments ...

• Monochromatic molecular absorption coefficients for use in calculations of stellar opacity 

  Ehrmann, Kari Lynn (Wichita State University, 2018-05)

  In order to fully understand stellar structure, it is necessary to know the opacity, as it influences the behavior of radiative transfer within the stellar interior. Opacity plays an important role in the onset of ...

• Semi-inclusive neutral current neutral pion production selection at the NOvA (numi off-axis electron neutrino appearance) near detector using prong level convolutional neural networks 

  Cedeno, Alan J. (Wichita State University, 2018-05)

  This dissertation is embargoed to May 2019.

• Computation of plane potential flow past multi-element airfoils using conformal mapping, revisited 

  Sahraei, Saman (Wichita State University, 2018-05)

  Calculations of potential ow and pressure over multi-element airfoils are studied, using conformal maps. A composition of classical Karman-Tre tz maps is used to smooth out the trailing edge corners successively, from ...

• Strict Whitney arcs and t-quasi self-similar arcs 

  Wei, Xin (Wichita State University, 2018-05)

  A connected compact subset E of RN is said to be a strict Whitney set if there exists a real-valued C1 function f on RN with ∇f |E ≡ 0 such that f is constant on no non-empty relatively open subsets of E. We prove that ...

  Chen, Juan (Wichita State University, 2018-05)

  The pluripolar hull of a pluripolar set E in Pn is the intersection of all complete pluripolar sets in Pn that contain E. We prove that the pluripolar hull of each compact pluripolar set in Pn is F . The convergence set ...
