Partially Ordered Groups and Rings

Description: This report presents both the most essential known results and new results in the theory of partially ordered groups and rings. This report deals with partially ordered groups and rings in an algebraic aspect because it is more important than partially ordered, fully ordered and lattice-ordered semigroup theory.

A Study of Functions on Metric Spaces

Description: This thesis describes various forms of metric spaces and establishes some of the properties of functions defined on metric spaces. No attempt is made in this paper to examine a particular type of function in detail. Instead, some of properties of several kinds of functions will be observed as the functions are defined on various forms of metric spaces such as connected spaces, compact spaces, complete spaces, etc.

Polynomial Curve and Surface Fitting

Description: The main problems of numerical analysis involve performing analytical operations, such as integration, differentiation, finding zeroes, interpolation, and so forth, of a function when all the data available are some samples of the function. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the following problem: given a set of data points (x[sub i], y[sub i]) which are samples of some function, determine an approximating function. Further, extend the problem to that of determining an appro… more

Continuous Solutions of Laplace's Equation in Two Variables

Description: In mathematical physics, Laplace's equation plays an especially significant role. It is fundamental to the solution of problems in electrostatics, thermodynamics, potential theory and other branches of mathematical physics. It is for this reason that this investigation concerns the development of some general properties of continuous solutions of this equation.

Some Fundamental Properties of Valuations Defined on a Field

Description: The purpose of this thesis is to develop some properties of a special class of functions called valuations. The study begins with and examination of the properties of valuations defined on an arbitrary field, F, and later, consideration is given to valuations defined on the field of rational numbers. The concept of a pseud-valuation is introduced and an investigation is made of the properties of pseudo-valuations.

Spaces of H-Integrable Functions

Description: In this thesis we consider integrals of a certain class of interval functions. Specifically we consider a nondegenerate number interval [a,b], a real valued function m, defined and nondecreasing on [a,b], and the set Hm, of real valued functions f, defined on [a,b] such that: 1) f(a)=0; 2) for each subinterval [p,q] of [a,b], if m(q)-m(p)=0, then f(q)-f(p)=0; and 3) the set of all sums of the form Σ(Δf)2/Δm for subdivisions D of [a,b] is bounded above.

A Genesis for Compact Convex Sets

Description: This paper was written in response to the following question: what conditions are sufficient to guarantee that if a compact subset A of a topological linear space L^3 is not convex, then for every point x belonging to the complement of A relative to the convex hull of A there exists a line segment yz such that x belongs to yz and y belongs to A and z belongs to A? Restated in the terminology of this paper the question bay be given as follow: what conditions may be imposed upon a compact subset … more

Algebraic Integers

Description: The primary purpose of this thesis is to give a substantial generalization of the set of integers Z, where particular emphasis is given to number theoretic questions such as that of unique factorization. The origin of the thesis came from a study of a special case of generalized integers called the Gaussian Integers, namely the set of all complex numbers in the form n + mi, for m,n in Z. The main generalization involves what are called algebraic integers.

Theory and Methods in Determining the Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of a Matrix

Description: In the numerous problems of matrix algebra, one finds the problem of determining the eigenvalues of eigenvectors of a matrix quite frequently. The theory and methods leading to the solution of the eigenvalue and eigenvector problem are of considerable interest. The relation between vector spaces, matrices, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors is to be considered in this chapter, with particular concentration directed toward the eigenvalues and eigenvectors shall be developed in the following chapter… more
