Maximally Edge-Colored Directed Graph Algebras
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Graph C*-algebras are constructed using projections corresponding to the vertices of the graph, and partial isometries corresponding to the edges of the graph. Here, we use the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem to first ... -
Multidimensional Toggle Dynamics
(North Dakota State University, 2018)J. Propp and T. Roby isolated a phenomenon in which a statistic on a set has the same average value over any orbit as its global average, naming it homomesy. One set they investigated was order ideals of partially ordered ... -
Sign Matrix Polytopes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Motivated by the study of polytopes formed as the convex hull of permutation matrices and alternating sign matrices, several new families of polytopes are defined as convex hulls of sign matrices, which are certain ... -
Analysis of Variance Based Financial Instruments and Transition Probability Densities Swaps, Price Indices, and Asymptotic Expansions
(North Dakota State University, 2018)This dissertation studies a couple of variance-dependent instruments in the financial market. Firstly, a number of aspects of the variance swap in connection to the Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard model are studied. A partial ... -
Mathematical Modeling of Epidemics: Parametric Heterogeneity and Pathogen Coexistence
(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
(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 ... -
Some Results on Semicrossed Products and Related Operator Algebras
(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
(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 ... -
On Partial Permutations and Alternating Sign Matrices: Bijections and Polytopes
(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 ... -
The First Exit-Time Analysis of an Approximate Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard Model, with Data Science-Based Applications in the Commodity Market
(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 ...
