• The First Exit-Time Analysis of an Approximate Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard Model, with Data Science-Based Applications in the Commodity Market 

  Awasthi, Shantanu (North Dakota State University, 2021)

  In this dissertation, an approximate version of the Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard model, driven by a Brownian motion and a Lévy subordinator, is formulated. The first-exit time of the log-return process for this model is ...

• New Perspectives on Promotion and Rowmotion: Generalizations and Translations 

  Bernstein, Joseph (North Dakota State University, 2022)

  We define P-strict labelings for a finite poset P as a generalization of semistandard Young tableaux and show that promotion on these objects is in equivariant bijection with a toggle action on B-bounded Q-partitions of ...

• The Square of Adjacency Matrices 

  Kranda, Daniel Joseph (North Dakota State University, 2011)

  It can be shown that any symmetric (0, 1)-matrix A with tr A = 0 can be interpreted as the adjacency matrix of a simple, finite graph. The square of an adjacency matrix A2 = (si1) has the property that Sij represents the ...

• Enumeration of Reduced Words of Length N for Coxeter Groups via BrinkHowlett Automaton 

  Allen, Brandon James (North Dakota State University, 2022)

  The overall goal of this paper is to give a method of computing out how many words of length n there are for any Coxeter group via its Brink-Howlett automaton. [6] [7] To build our automaton, we focus on Coxeter systems ...

• The Game of Nim on Graphs 

  Erickson, Lindsay Anne (North Dakota State University, 2011)

  The ordinary game of Nim has a long history and is well-known in the area of combinatorial game theory. The solution to the ordinary game of Nim has been known for many years and lends itself to numerous other solutions ...

• On Partial Permutations and Alternating Sign Matrices: Bijections and Polytopes 

  Heuer, Dylan (North Dakota State University, 2021)

  Motivated by the study of chained permutations and alternating sign matrices, we investigate partial permutations and alternating sign matrices. We give a length generating function for partial permutations and show ...

• Some Results on Semicrossed Products and Related Operator Algebras 

  Duchsherer, Melissa (North Dakota State University, 2021)

  We investigate various properties of two classes of operator algebras: directed graph operator algebras and semicrossed products. First we consider analytic structure in the form of derivations and point derivations on ...

• Hypothesis Testing on Time Series Driven by Underlying Lévy Processes, with Machine Learning Applications 

  Roberts, Michael (North Dakota State University, 2021)

  In this dissertation, we study the testing of hypotheses on streams of observations that are driven by Lévy processes. This is applicable for sequential decision making on the state of two-sensor systems. In one case, each ...

• Stochastic Processes, and Development of the Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard Model for Financial Markets 

  Uden, Austin (North Dakota State University, 2022)

  In this paper, we introduce Brownian motion, and some of its drawbacks in connection to the financial modeling. We then introduce geometric Brownian motion as the basis for European call option pricing as we navigate our ...

• Mathematical Modeling of Epidemics: Parametric Heterogeneity and Pathogen Coexistence 

  Sarfo Amponsah, Eric (North Dakota State University, 2020)

  No two species can indefinitely occupy the same ecological niche according to the competitive exclusion principle. When competing strains of the same pathogen invade a homogeneous population, the strain with the largest ...

• Knot Groups and Bi-Orderable HNN Extensions of Free Groups 

  Martin, Cody Michael (North Dakota State University, 2020)

  Suppose K is a fibered knot with bi-orderable knot group. We perform a topological winding operation to half-twist bands in a free incompressible Seifert surface Σ of K. This results in a Seifert surface Σ' with boundary ...

• Analysis of Variance Based Financial Instruments and Transition Probability Densities Swaps, Price Indices, and Asymptotic Expansions
